Endurance bikes started to evolve into bloated flexy monstrosities until Gravel and All Road came along. Today, maybe we finally have really good endurance bikes again. Bikes made for those EPIC days out. In this video we take a deep dive into the nuances of geometry, the characteristics of endurance and offer an exclusive offer to Mapdec viewers.

We look at all the big name bikes in this category. The Trek Domane, Specalized Roubaix, Cannondale Synapse, BMC Road Machine, ENVE Melee, and Cervelo Caledonia. Then we build up a custom Wilier RAVE SL into what we consider to be a perfect Endurance Bike.

Thanks to @WilierTriestina @chicken_cyclekit . We did however pay for all these components. The video is in no way sponsored, but we obviously do hope to sell some bikes.
