Hello everyone!

I have my eye on a Endurace CF 7 eTap and have been monitoring the site for a good number of weeks in hopes of seeing the "in stock" label instead of the perpetual "coming soon" status that this bike seems to be in.

Has anyone been able to easily purchase from Canyon at any point in the last few years?

I'm starting to look for alternatives as I just can't see any changes to the stock in the near future and also getting a bit fed up of constantly having to monitor the site in various ways. I even saw some other of their models with availability dates around 2024!

I had a bike stolen right before COVID and I’m thankful it didn’t happen a month later because it would have been a very long wait. The situation is better than it has been for a few years but I feel your pain, I’m waiting for the revised Aeroad to hit the US. Almost caved and got a different color of the older model today, but my 2019 Endurace still makes me happy so I'm holding out for what I really want. What region and what size/color are you interested in?

So how long have you been waiting for the Aeroad? I'm in the UK, which I believe it's a bit better than the US in terms of stock (at least for Canyon)

Looking to get an S size in black (only colour available, but I dig it)

Might have to look at alternatives such as Giant and the defy range. I just dont really like their paint schemes that much... And there is a bit of a price hike too.

I've wanted one for years and finally set aside the money a few months ago, so if it's another few months I think I can wait it out. I'm using a browser extension called Distill to watch the page for any changes, plus watching availability in other countries to see if it gives me any hints when more might arrive in the US.

Well I really hope that you can get hold of one soon.

I'm also using a variety of methods to track any changes in stock. Apparently they email notifications from them are useless.
