It notes that while high-end road bikes can be very expensive, it's not necessary to spend a lot to achieve good performance. The author tests a more affordable road bike, the Canyon Endurace CF, which costs €1699, a quarter of the author's own carbon road bike. The test aims to determine if a less expensive bike can still provide a good riding experience. The author has a history of investing significant amounts in their cycling hobby.",
