Can’t decide between an Ultimate and Endurace. My old bike is a 9 year old tarmac, which has been comfortable and I’ve enjoyed riding it. I mostly do 40 mile rides on my own, 60 mile rides in a group and a couple of sportives a year. I don’t race, might do a couple of TT’s this year and will be 40 in 3 months………I can’t touch my toes either so not that flexible….

only input I can offer is…..my endurace cf slx if bloody mint. 🙂
I’m probably similar to you (bar the sportiness) and I think it’s an awesome bike, perfect for my needs

I have an Endurace and find it a nicer riding bike than my mates Ultimate, though his Ultegra Di2 is lovely.
