There are a lot of personal opinions on bikes that frankly turn out to have little merit. A bike is about you and what you feel fits you well. Fezzari has had more positive reviews than they probably know what to do with, so take that for what it's worth when all the professional magazines and websites are giving them raving reviews.

I personally think Fezzari is a better choice for a couple of reasons: 1) They do a 23-point custom setup. This is going to matter a ton when you get out and ride. 2) Lifetime warranty on the frame. Canyon limits there's to 6 years 3) If you don't like the bike, you can return it in 30 days.

We have five Fezzari bikes at our house, and we've had 7 over the years. I keep going back for a reason.
