This is - IMHO - one of the best deals for a "beginner-to-serious" road bike on the market, or just a seasoned rider that would rather buy new and not used. This is a "racy" road bike, so not the most comfortable, upright position, nor huge clearance for big tires. If you commute through rougher pavement, look into a gravel/endurance road or hybrid bike: will be better in the long run.
If you are skin-suit curious, this aligns with this aspirations better
Full Shimano 105 Hydraulic Disc groupset, descent-looking frame geo, alloy frame w/ Carbon fork, thru-axles F/R. These are typically found in $2K bikes these days, this is barely over $1100 (+tax, + $79 shipping). AFAIK, the cheapest bike Specialized fits a full 2x11 hydro 105 on, is the Allez Sprint, which retails for $3K...sexy ass bike in my eyes, but please...
Yes, there are cheaper bikes on sale, on Bikes Online & elsewhere, but this is really good for the perceived quality.
I've owned and serviced Polygons and Marins (better part of the decade made by Polygon's mother factory) and they are good value and decent built quality vs. Taiwanese bikes I've owned and still own (Trek, Specialized).
I think this runs a bit small, but for sure the fitting guide on bike's Online website seems to be a bit off. I am just under 6'-00 / 182cm and it places me on a XL, when I know I should be on a 55-56 (M/L).
Do compare measurements/geo chart with a known bike frame you think/know fits you. This is a really handy website to keep in mind: https://bikeinsights.co

As someone who rides a rando Taiwanese frame (Fuji) with an Ultegra groupset...buy a legit frame. I'd sooner have a reputable aluminum frame with 105 (or Tiagra) and get nice wheels, especially now that everyone sands weld so they're visually very similar to carbon frames.
The headache of dealing with random bottom brackets, not being able to find specs, random aftermarket plastic bits to make stuff work, 0 customer support down the line or stocked parts is not worth it. If you're not ready to drop $2k on a carbon frame don't try to cheap out, you don't get the best of both worlds; at least direct-to-consumer companies like Canyon offer pretty solid prices.

Good call. This price would be amazing for a bike with 105 components.
There is a S5D wtih 2x8, and this is the S5 "Disc" with 105. Go figure.
The bike linked (should) be full 105.
For comparison:
A Canyon Endurace with 105 is $300 more (once shipping is factored in). Giant Synapse with hydraulic 105 is $1950.

Agreed from a Canyon customer who had a mechanical issue when I bought an outlet bike. They reimbursed me the shop fees. But, so did Polygon when I bought my kid's 20" bike from BikesDirect.

Agree 100% as well. In 2022, I got a Ribble 872 Disc, carbon frame, full 105 hydraulic for $1800 shipped. I've seen alloy 105 on their side for < $1200 at times, so there are definitely more reputable brands and deals out there with similar spec, that will definitely have long term support.
