With 2017 now in full swing and most of us back to work, Canyon's decided to spread some January cheer with two new, very affordable road disc models in its range. The Canyon Endurace AL Disc models start at just £1,199 / €1,399 / AU$1,999 and still bring Shimano 105 or Ultegra with hydraulic disc brakes to the party.

Eagle-eyed readers will have already spotted how these differ from the carbon-framed road disc bikes that the German brand announced at the end of last year across its Ultimate, Aeroad and Endurace platforms: the new Canyon Endurace AL Disc 6.0 and 7.0 models come with alloy frames.
Both offer a more relaxed ride than can be found on the racier Ultimate and Aeroad models thanks to Canyon's Sport Geometry. This gives a more relaxed, upright ride due to a shorter top tube and longer head tube, along with a slightly longer fork.

They don't differ much from their carbon-framed Endurace Disc siblings either: there are 12mm thru-axles, flat mount disc brakes, clearance for wide tyres (TBC, but we'd guess it's at least the 33m found on the carbon-framed models), and fully internal cable routing. No mudguard mounts though.
Frame weight on both models is a claimed 1,350g in size medium and as usual from Canyon it comes in a huge range of sizes: 2XS, XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL. There's also a frameset-only model on offer weighing 1,750g (frame + forks), which is mechanical shifting only and comes in a paint job described as 'stealth ano'. It costs £599 / €699 / AU$TBC, and orders will start being shipped from the beginning of May.
