@@mathofmi2 I am happy with the 40mm rear and 45mm front. The 40 has plenty of space. I've never had an issue with it but I don't ride in much mud. I think it would be fine but I try to avoid mud. I also now have a separate set of wheels dedicated to road.
Cheers dude! I have a Canyon Inflite CF SL 6 for exactly the same purpose, and this information on real world maximum tyre clearance has been super informative!
Thanks for posting this, I bought the inflite as well and could never find info on the website about max tire size….I’m definitely going to mirror what you did with the 38mm rear and 45mm front👍🏼
I did the exact same thing with my inflite :) Nice to see someone else had the same idea! Its much faster than an Gravelbike and you can do long rides with an inflite too!
Hey! Thanks for the great content, very informative :) Just wondering if you have had some long rides with it (80-120 km), and if it felt comfortable? Really considering to buy this bike soon! Thanks a lot!
I have ridden 80-120k and it handles it well. I mostly just ride road with it now with a set of Zipp wheels and 30mm tires. I typically just do 1.5-2 hour rides, but the bike works well on longer rides if I'm up to it.
Hi, thanks for the video. I realise this was posted almost a year ago but I was wondering if you’d be able to answer a question about the bike for me? I’m actually looking to buy an Inflite for similar riding to you (road and gravel but not cyclocross) and I’d say I do 80-90% road. I was thinking the Inflite could be quite versatile with just a change of tyres to cover both road and gravel riding. I guess my two questions are: (1) with it being 1x hearing does the speed top out on the road? And (2) how is the position on the bike for road riding? Ie is it very upright/not aerodynamic enough for fast road riding? Thanks in advance!
It works great as a road bike. The position is similar to an endurance road bike. I ride quite often with the local road group and do a lot of road riding by myself. I keep up with the group rides well. I can do 40-50 miles at 19.5-20mph average in a group easy. I've never run out of speed other than on steep downhills, but the roadies run out too. It's pretty flat for the most part where I live. I can not max the speed out on flat ground. I love it for a road bike. I have 3 sets of tires, 45/40, 32s, and 28s. Last night I road with the roadies for 30 miles on my 45/40 averaging 18.4mph. I plan to get a dedicated set of road wheels this spring to put the 28s on. Maybe in another year or so I may get an aero road bike but until then I'm quite happy with my inflite.
Curiuos what your stem and h-bar setup is on this? Considering shortening the cockpit on my inflite w the H31 Ergo that came stock. Assuming you changed yours as well?
Something like that. I haven't had those wheels on in a while, I've had the road wheel set on for a year. I have two complete wheelsets for this bike, it's awesome 👌
Hi, I'm also interested in this bike. I'm looking for a bike to use it for both, long gravel rides and maybe some cyclocross races during winter. Does the cyclocross position and geometry bother you on long rides? Pls let me know, thanks
The longest ride I've done so far was 40 miles on the road. The most time spent was about 4 hours on a gravel ride. I was comfortable both times. I've only had the bike 2 weeks now but plan to do much longer rides. The geometry is similar to an endurance road bike. I highly recommend this bike, I'm loving it.
@@DearSoldierGP glad I could help. The bigger front just gives a tad more cush for the hands. You can't really tell they are different unless you get up close. Cross country mountain bikes are often set up this way. We use to run our BMX race bikes this way too.
@@daledubose3032 Thats also a great tip. I am looking for the ere research Tenaci they have 34,38 and 44mm. So i may try it . 38mm in the back and 44mm in the front :)
Can I ask what your seat height is set to (measured from the centre of the bottom bracket to the top of the seat straight up the seat post and tube)? Thanks!
@@daledubose3032 can I ask you for one more measurement? I’m wondering the distance between the center of the rail clamps on top of the seat post to the center of the handlebars in the stem clamp. I’m trying to get a sense of the true total reach taking into account the full top tube length, seatpost setback, stem length, etc. You and I have a near identical seat height, so what you measure would be really close to what I would probably experience. Thanks again for your help!

CORRECTION: This rear tire is actually labeled as a 40 on the tire.
Good to know. I plan to put a measured 41mm (labelled as 42c) Rene Herse tyre at the back and wondering if it fits. Now I think it can!
@@ahmadzuhairi Did you try already?
@@DearSoldierGP Yes I did fit it with a 650bX42mm rene herse. Fits nicely, with about 3-5mm clearance on either side of the chainstay.
Hi Dale! Are you still happy with a 40c at the back after many kms? Isn't it too wide when it's muddy for example? thanks!!

What Tyre size did you fit on back? What's the gap on each side to chainstay? Like a 1cm?

Is it true? Can we also have long rides with the inflite?
Awesome info! Thank you
I really like this bike; good honest review 2.
front tie 45mm and rear 38mm?
nice clean setup you've got there.
you use this for everyday commute?
well ride safe man😁😁
Not a commuter but I ride it as much as I can. Right now I'm trying to hit 100 miles a week. Thanks.

@@daledubose3032 that’s brilliant, thanks for the detailed response, really appreciate it!
@@daledubose3032 I also have it and use it also as a road bike, it's great!
Curiuos what your stem and h-bar setup is on this? Considering shortening the cockpit on my inflite w the H31 Ergo that came stock. Assuming you changed yours as well?
The stem is stock, I don't remember the length. I've since swapped the bar for a wider 46cm with a similar reach as stock.
Canyon website says 35mm max for the inflite...seems fine for the rear tyre, front is less a problem
Thanks. I run a 45 front and 40 rear with problems at all.
They say that officially to keep clearance to avoid mud building up
Thanks. With your 40c Tyre on back.... would you say there is like a 1cm gap to chainstay? Just comparing to my bike now.... cheers

@@daledubose3032 thanks for the quick reply, very helpful
Hi Dale. How tall are you? I noticed size M on the frame.
Considering buying an Inflite, but not sure, which size will be perfect for me..
If I'm honest I'd have to say 5' 11.5" (sometimes I claim to be 6ft) with about a 32" inseam. The medium fits me well.
It's an art work
What is the biggest tire you can put on it? 42mm or more?
I run a 45 front and 40 rear for gravel. The front might could go a little bigger but the rear is pretty much maxed out at 40.
@@daledubose3032 thanks! I will go with 38mm in front and back. Because i want the same in the front as in the back.
