Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056

Could you elaborate a bit more on that? I am really curious what kind of difference you've felt.

On tarmac no difference. The big difference was the road buzz when on a "klinkerweg". The Canyon was way smoother on that type of road than my Sonder.

A "klinkerweg" is a typical dutch road (in Belgium too I think), in several forms, usually found in urban areas/villages or older bicycle paths with have not been converted to tarmac yet. Is consists of cobbles but certainly not the Paris-Roubaix type.

I have attached an image of several forms of a "klinkerweg"

The current version can handle 38mm tires indeed. The information on the carbonda website is outdated.

I did my test riding on the Canyon with the same wheels/tire/saddle/seatpost combo which I transferred from my aluminum Sonder.

So all comfort/contact points except from the bars, where the same and I could clearly feel a difference between the two bikes.

Hi all

I am looking into buying this frameset for my next all road bike. I am wondering how the frame is regarding stifness and comfort.

Last year, I had the opportunity to ride a Canyon Endurace CF (newest model) for a week. The Endurace is known as being "comfortable", also in terms of vibration/road buzz damping.  I replaced the stock saddle and wheels for my own (pulled from my own bike) and made several rides on a standard route I often ride.
I currently have an aluminum gravelbike (Sonder Camino AL). The difference between the Sonder and the Canyon in terms of vibration damping, was big.

Is there anyone with a similar experience? Moving from an aluminum bike to the CFR1056 and could provide his/her experience regarding the vibration damping capabilities of the frameset?

Thanks a lot in advance.
