When Canyon launched the Endurace CFR in April, it framed the bike specifically around Paris-Roubaix, three-time defending champion Mathieu van der Poel, and cobble-conquering race credentials, and left many wondering what was happening to the rest of the Endurace range. What about us, the masses who don't get paid to race cobbles? Well, today, we've reached the end of the long-enduring launch strategy for an endurance bike, and can finally talk about the bikes for the masses, as the CF SLX and CF models, completing the Endurace range, have been unveiled.

Canyon held the CF SLX and CF back by more than a month after the CFR, and media coverage in the intervening weeks was left dancing around what was clearly still to come. And while we tried to hold our end of the bargain with Canyon's launch strategy, you've been able to find much info on all of the bikes in the depths of forums for a while now, due to the ever more common leaks. But with both embargoes now officially lifted, here's the full picture of what these new Endurace bikes are like.

The CF SLX: same-same, but different
