German e-bike company Canyon has revealed its lightest e-road bike yet, named the Endurace:ONfly. If you’re a road cyclist seeking an electric boost without sacrificing ride quality or weight, this new series features four carbon-framed models, with prices starting at €4,499 and reaching up to €9,999. The bikes can be purchased in Europe through Canyon’s website and app, but they won’t be available in the US for now.
Advanced Motor System
The Endurace:ONfly uses the TQ HPR4.0 motor system, which is a compact drive unit that offers up to 200W of pedal assistance. It comes with a fully integrated 290 Wh battery, along with an optional 160 Wh range extender. With this setup, riders can expect over 100 km of range and support for climbs of up to 2,000 meters. Both the motor and battery are cleverly hidden within the frame, giving the bike a look and feel similar to a traditional road bike.
Lightweight Design
Weight is a standout feature of this bike. Every model weighs less than 10 kg, with the top model, the SUB-10, weighing only 9.86 kg. To achieve this low weight, Canyon has employed its NeoBeam technology, which reduces the wall thickness of the carbon tubes without affecting the frame’s stiffness. Overall, the Endurace:ONfly maintains a sleek design and uncluttered cockpit, featuring a slim handlebar-mounted remote that changes modes and shows assist status.
Safety and Versatility
The bike comes with built-in safety features like a theft-deterrent motion sensor, GPS tracking (accessible via the Canyon app), and integrated lights at the front and rear. All models are equipped with 700c wheels and can accommodate tires up to 35 mm wide, even when mudguards are fitted. Each version is offered in seven sizes, ranging from XXS to XXL.
Canyon is marketing this launch as a direct answer to the usual compromises found in the e-road category, asserting that the ONfly provides the most natural, elegant, and lightweight riding experience available in today’s electric road bike market.
