What Liked about this bike is the "power Assist" giving by the motor which makes Riding off road a lot easier + All the riding modes helps in Maintaining a longer life for the battery depending on what Mode you're using.

All well and good but having ex-pro review an e-bike is kind of ehh. , because he will never use it in real life.
Personally, I think this IS the one e bike that covers all the ground, road, off road and commute. I am 62 and tool up e biking just over 2 years ago with a Cube Acid Hybrid..I am hooked. I have ridden well over 10,000 klms and climbed over 50,000 mtrs this year. Last Saturday, I rode over 100 miles around The North York Moors with nearly 3000 mtrs of climbing. I am now looking to upgrade to the ultimate e bike. This Canyon Grail ON is it...It beats the Specialized Creo E Gravel bike hands down. BUT we have to find a way of persuading the regulators that limiting motor support above 25 kmph is truly ridiculous when I can descend without pedalling at 90 kmph. If you want a keen older GCN supporter who rides an e bike to help you guys out with tests I am dead up for it. E cycling is NOT cheating, it's e nabling and I can make it as hard work or as relaxing as I like. Paul Moore on Strava where you can see what I have been doing. The Canyon Grail ON is the future for serious all round e cyclists...I wish I had one...
As someone who has an artificial leg and therefore has difficulty with the short steep climbs found offroad, this bike looks like it would be amazing. I'm pretty sure I still wouldn't beat Powers, but it would be a lot more fun and allow me to ride in areas that I find physically too frustrating right now.

I talked to an older man in his 70s and he said he was about to give up mountain biking because he couldn't keep up anymore and it was too taxing on his body. He bought an e-bike and now he can keep up with the groups have a lot of fun and not stress his body so much. E-bikes are amazing for older, disabled or simply unfit people. The tech just needs to come down in price, it still is too cost prohibitive for alot of people.

Dav, you're totally right, the frustration of not being able to climb certain roads/tracks is gone, back to enjoying all my riding!
I got a Grail On: last week and rode it up into the mountains around Boulder, CO. IT WAS MIND BLOWING! After riding the Specialized Creo/Evo, its clear to me that the Grail On: is a superior bike because it has 1) a far better cockpit set-up, and 2) the power range is clearly better for gravel hands down. Best electric gravel bike on the market. Super fun, you’ll have a blast. From a 70 year old bike racer.

I know lol. Specialized and Trek are ripping people off by convincing that underpowered ebikes are the best thing cause they can be disguised as a regular bike. I have a buddy in Denver that I have to wait on when bad weather happens if we are riding together cause he is on a stupid under powered Creo. I have 2 of the Grail:on's, one for my house in Colorado and the other for our Atlanta house.
I don't drive and because of the dreaded virus I can't get a lift to work any more, its an hour and a half on the bus and half the people on there don't wear masks so I dug my old mountain bike out and decided to ride to work. Big mistake I'm in my 60s now and 20 kg heavier than I was 10 years ago its 12 miles to work with 850 ft of climbing so it took me just over an hour and I was knackered all day then had to ride back, and thats on a nice trek 8000 mtb so I bought a grand canyon hardtail emtb now its 40 min to work I can ride hard on the way home and in the last 3 weeks I've lost 1.5 kg ..the cheating remarks I've read here are not helpful to encouraging people like me getting back into cycling.

I have nothing against e-bikes at all, and the Grail was something that I was looking at for bike packing and for riding farm roads and paths in Bavaria, this Grail:ON is a game changer for this kind of thing and one that would be perfect for both intentions. Going to take a hard look at this in the coming weeks.

I love this video But I have a question that has nothing to do with this. I think using a dropper post on a road bike can definetly improve aerodynamics and improve speed and stability while descending. I ve used it on long descents in xc races, And could get ahead of the back with out even pedaling And it is safer than sitting on the frame Would be interesting to see an experiment.

GCN already tested that and it is indeed faster.
My commute is only 14km there but has 160m of decent climbing. I do this 13 days in a row and then have two days off. I only work short hours whilst at work but i do walk a few kilometres. Here is what I have found at 40 years old. Pains will typically come in one leg only. These pains are usually in the form of extensor tendinitus at the feet or knee trouble. When the first symptoms present, I put more power through the opposite leg and spin more. I also cycle out of the saddle and keep cadence as high as possible. After a few days the pain typically goes away. If hills are too problematic, then spin an easy gear and push your leg down with one arm all the way up the hill. I don't know how much additional power this offers compared to an e-bike but it feels like an additional motor. Also, if you do suffer from foot issues then loosen up your cycling shoes. Works wonders... As for burning off smug ebike riders. This I'm afraid I cannot help doing. Especially when they give you that smug look. I'm usually dead by the end of it but the satisfaction I get when I look over my right shoulder (just the once) is worth all my pain and then some.
I am primarily a roadie but I also have an hard tail Ebike. I wish there were more drop bar ebikes with this motor plus the bigger 625wh battery. Would be a proper mile muncher for commutes and options for road/off road leisure rides.

Hi Carlo, frankly I love my new Canyon Grail:ON bike and I'm really glad that I bought it. In order to keep fit, on mainly road riding, I have actually elected not to use the Bosch motor for about 95% of the ride time and only use it when I really need to i.e. going up steep hills, which is say 5% of the total ride time. There are four motor settings and the most I've ever needed is the second TOUR setting, which is more than enough to meet my needs and saves battery life. When using it like this, I can go out on quite a few rides of say 70km each, before even thinking about charging the battery up again. The bike feels very sturdy and weighs in at around 19kgs. Clearly the bike was very expensive, but to my mind, it was totally worth it! The only thing to consider seriously is who will maintain it for you, as there are no Canyon dealers even here in the UK?? Fortunately I can cope with most bike repairs, although if anything went wrong with the Bosch motor and gearbox, then I would probably have to send the bike back to Germany for repair. Just in case, I have kept the shipping box that it originally came in. Hope this is of some use, but please ask if you need anything else? Regards Paul

When Audi first engineered a carbon e bike it wasn’t for sale because it was all carbon and it would of cost a small fortune. Yet Canyon have just made an all carbon e rd gravel bike that starts under £40000 amazing. Don’t get caught up comparing it to a none motorised bike and just take it for what it is.

I was considering an e-gravel bike for commuting, since it´s about 50/50 asphalt and gravel, and i´m riding a cross country mountain bike right now. But the 25kmh speed limit is a deal breaker. It´s mostly flat terrain where i live, i can consistently hit 25kmh even without electric assist. The electric power would be useful on particularly windy days, but I´d have to derestrict it to see any other benefits.

Thinking about the Lauf Grit SL - it may work...
I would really like to try one!
Thanks for pointing out where the battery is... almost missed it 😂
Just got a subscriber from South Africa🇿🇦 I love road bike but I'm still using the old 1
I freakin love my Grail on. It handles the road and gravel roads with ease. Semi technical very well, a tad bumpy but its a damn Ferrari. Love everything about it except the charging port cover & dont much care for the odd handle bars. The chain stay protector sucks and it needs a real chain guide!
As an ex first category rider in the 70s, I now have spinal nerve root compression and a pacemaker for a heart Arythmia. Ebikes are the only way I can keep riding a bike. I wish the people who are fortunate enough to enjoy robust health and fitness would consider they may not always have the gift of fitness and they too may need a “helping hand” of an electric motor

Chris, you are so right....I have heart failure (35% ejection fraction) at 64 and have an eMTB. It has, literally, saved my life allowing me to continue riding. Now, I think I NEED one of these! E bikes can still give you a MAJOR workout (turn it off and anyone would be struggling!). The US needs to allow ebikes on more trails. They do NOT tear up the trails any more than an acoustic bike! Ride on.
What bottle cages are you using?? they look nice and minimal!
I love it 🥰
This is very appealing. Just wish I could buy it from a local shop. I hate the thought of bringing this to a local shop for service.
I think this is the best gravel E-bike on the market but can anyone tell me if they're available in Australia?! I messaged Canyon and even they were vague about it. TIA.
That squirrel would have had an even quicker... "relieve", if Dan had the E-Bike back then.... 7:53
Would you recommend I buy this or the Cannondale Topstone Neo?
Love the vids gcn you are the reason why I started cycling thank you so much for showing me this wonderful sport

That's awesome to hear, glad you're now cycling and enjoying it, that's exactly what we love to see!
Does it behave like a normal bike if you deactivate the assistance and take off the battery ? (except the weight of course)

Yup, it rides like a heavy Grail.
Can you attach fenders and a rack?
That display for the motor is the same as on my mothers €2000 city ebike.... For €5000 I would expect a better integration for the display. Better use of the ebike hype than on road bikes because who rides 25km/hour on the road? On an off road trail it's more useful I guess.
Imma gonna destroy some KOMs on strava
What size wheels does this bike have in large is it 700 c?
Great video! I'd love to see a comparison between this e-gravel bike and a Cannondale Topstone Neo Carbon Lefty 3.

I’m trying to decide which bike I’m going to pull the trigger on, Neo vs this Canyon. I’ve been looking for a direct head to head comparison but haven’t come across yet. Still oscillating….
I dont get it. An E-Mountainbike makes a lot more sense to me because you can offroad it more properly. 25 kph also isnt really much. I find my self going quite a bit faster on gravel on my gravelbike. Going up steep sections it is obviously a different story and basically the only region where this bike can exceeds.

Agree. I easily go 40-50 kph on gravel so I can‘t understand why someone needs an E-Gravelbike. It‘s fast already.
Can you charge an E bike with a SON hub? To extend the reach.
