    I worked at the local shop level for years. When Canyon hit the market we hated them. As a cyclist who now has to pay normal, non pro form prices I love the concept. I now refer to them as the “ex mechanics special". The Endurance CF I bought last year is as good as the equivalent spec’d red “S" model. That purp drank color is reason enough to buy that Grizl let alone the fact they have it on sale for $1600.

It's an entry level in their lineup, but hardly entry level in the market. The 700x50 Aggregates are great tires. I have a set of those along with 700x50 Kimberlites, also fantastic! They both roll along smooth and quiet, and they're very durable/reliable. In 2yrs I've never got a puncture with either set!

The saddle mine came with might be worse than the one yours came with tho as at least yours has the channel in the middle. An advantage of the AL frame is that it has rear rack mounts that the CF lacks. The bike has an "aggressive" stack and reach so flipping the stem was a must for me.

    I got the carbon version of this (at a nice discount because of my job). Swapped the saddle to something more comfortable. Put a wolftooth roadlink and a spuper wide 11-42t cassette on the 2x so I have tons of range for making it through hard climbs even though I'm not the most fit rider in the group. Put a more flared handlebar on for personal preference. The fenders were in stock in Germany so I have them on. Made it though tons of muddy and wet rides recently staying prettty clean compared to my group :) I actually really like the grippy saddle on my fixed gear bike though. It has so many mounts and is such a solid bike, I still go back and forth on whether I should have gotten the Alu version for the extra rack mounts. But the Alu version doesn"t come in the Curry Yellow color :)

    Got a Canyon Grail CFsomething-7. (The one with the floater bar/stem combination - which looks very cool.) The bike is generally good, but a couple of issues were: - the BB was crap-plastic. - Replaced that trash with with a bbinfinite, and creak fest is over. Much better. - the headset just will not stay setup right. Following C's instructions for assembly, torques etc. It works itself loose and you get slop in the front end. Bottom line, tighten it up again and again and agin... Overall my impression is that Canyon is not such a great deal. Next time I'll go with a maker that doesn't do weird shit with critical part designs (the headset) and doesn't hide garbage (that BB) in the frame to save a few bucks.

    This is the second review I’ve seen on the Grizl where the reviewer didn’t like the grippy seat - and looks like there’s a third mentioned in the comments of the other review. I kinda hope they keep this saddle in case I do decide to buy one. My experience with my old CAAD9 after an expensive laser fit years ago is that when I’m pushing, my butt automatically slides forward and out of the ideal position at the back of the saddle. I’d love a stickier saddle! However, I’m not experienced with trail riding, which it looks like you guys are doing. Maybe it’s more important to move around in those conditions. Now if you were really just sticking to gravel roads it might be closer to road conditions. You guys are basically riding it as a mountain bike from what I can see. Cool that it handles it!

    Missed my chance :( So I either bite the bullet and buy the Grizl 8 or wait for a 7 to top on on marketplace? Been looking at a Crux for years as I come from road cycling/commuting. Did a bit of track cycling at alpenrose but I've always had an appreciation for cross/gravel bikes. I don't always feel like riding my tarmac to work and the commute is only 11 miles round trip lol. But so many different routes to get home! I'm gonna start saving for this puppy I think. Also awesome video, wonderful and happy review on this bike. Very positive and refreshing, just like the gorge

    You can still support the small business and your local bike shop if you take the disassembled bike to a mechanic to assemble it for you. :) A bit extra cost but still probably lower than having a middle distributor.

Geometry of this bike is perfect, first bike I did not have to make profesional bikefitting, I just jumped on it made 70 km and no pain. I just love it - second thing is that direct sale give us better oportunity to have better groups comparing to other producers. btw You make grate job, Your chanel is made in such crazy and interesting way.

But I think this bike will be perfect for the terrain over here and there are gravel routes and events all over the place. I will have to wait 3 months tho…

    I have a top spec Spectral 27.5 from the year before they made the 29. (Fox 36 Factory, XTR, DT XMC 1200) It’s okay but I do at times feel like it’s a lot of nice parts hanging off a less than ideal frame. It doesn’t feel like the geo was all the way thought out - I had to slam the stem and find a negative rise one (they enduro team at the time was all doing the same) because the head tube is super long. The seat tube is also really long and my brother who’s about 2.5” shorter than me can nearly use a 150mm dropper in it (slammed). The external/internal hybrid cable management thing seemed cool before I got it but in practice feels cheap as the whole downtube is shrouded in black plastic. Feels like just a cost saving measure as it’s not really any easier to service.

    It's just too bad that a lot of potentially amazing bikes skip on proper fender and rack mounts. Living in the rainy dutch lowlands, that would lean to a no for me. How hard can it be to include them, the majority of people are not that (gravel)race focused. Rides/races! 🤘🏽😎 Oh and kudos for those Adidas kicks, love them!! 🙌🏾

    I got a Canyon Grizl CF 7 Rival AXS last year and it has been my everything bike. It's tremendous off-road and yet with a spare set of wheels running Panaracer 622-40 slicks it hoons along on road rides fast enough. Can't fault it - as for the mudguards/fenders I got them when I ordered the bike but they're the same as the Grail:ON set
