## Resource

Thanks to Feedback Sports for sponsoring this video https://feedbacksports.com/ In this episode, we talk more about the new Canyon Endurace and what it says about the direction of endurance bike design. Canyon claims it’s their most aero endurance bike yet, with 35mm tyre clearance, updated cockpits, and features like UDH. We look at how this fits into a wider trend and what does this mean for icons like the Trek Domane, Giant Defy, and Specialized Roubaix. We also consider how these changes could influence races like upcoming Paris-Roubaix, including setup choices and whether Mathieu van der Poel will decide to race the new bike. In our Rant of the Week, we discuss the growing threat of Chinese groupsets and whether emerging brands could disrupt the dominance of the established players. Plus, in News in Brief, we cover the latest tech and product launches, including the powerful DJI Avinox motor system, new gravel bikes, and high-end aftermarket components.
