TBH Chris if you use the search function there has been loads of reviews in this forum on Canyons.

Yes it is better than a CAAD10.

Having owned both I can compare.

IMO the Canyon is one the best framesets you can buy.

In what way 'better'?
Not trolling, just intrigued what your criteria for 'better' are: weight? flex? geometry? quality? comfort? power transfer?

Gazzaputt

Comfort, geometry and flex.

Gazzaput, cheers , i am assuming the Canyon AL is more comfortable and has some flex.

i have heard the CAAD10 is more firm

thanks again
