For 2022, the Canyon Grail line-up has had some modest updates.<\/p>\n

While the tried and tested geometry remains the same and the carbon models retain the brand\u2019s signature Double Decker bar, a few new models across the alloy builds add some practicality and budget-friendly gadgets to the range.<\/p>\n

Winter-ready spec, or \u2018All-Weather\u2019?<\/h2>\n

While winter riding accessories have been available for the Grail for a while, this is the first introduction of guards and lights as standard.<\/span><\/figcaption> Canyon \/ Clement Hodgkinson<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

It\u2019s quite rare that we find gravel bikes<\/a> specced for true \u2018British conditions\u2019 (i.e. wet and muddy as hell half the year), so the option of the alloy Grail Al 7 model kitted out with bespoke mudguards (or fenders) and lights fresh out of the box is a pretty exciting one.<\/p>\n

This AW, or All-Weather, model costs an extra \u00a3150 and features a 1x GRX 600 drivetrain rather than the Al 7\u2019s 2x.<\/p>\n

The Grail-specific mudguards usually retail at \u00a361.95 at the Canyon store. The lights are from German brand Lupine, with the SL Nano AF 3.5 Ah up-front (retailing at \u20ac295) and the C14 at the back.<\/p>\n

Electronic shifting arrives<\/h2>\n

For the first time, electronic shifting is trickled down to the alloy range.<\/span><\/figcaption> Canyon \/ Clement Hodgkinson<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

For the first time in Grail history, you can now enjoy electronic shifting with the alloy Grail Al 7 model, thanks to the more wallet-friendly SRAM Rival eTap build.<\/p>\n

The modest price of \u00a32,149 \/ \u20ac2,249 \/ $2,349 \/ AU$3,449 should put the joys of electronic shifting within grasp of many more dirt-loving riders.<\/p>\n

New racing gravel tyres from Schwalbe<\/h2>\n

Schwalbe\u2019s new G-One R gravel racing tyres are specced for the carbon fibre CF SLX and CF SL models.<\/span><\/figcaption> Canyon \/ Clement Hodgkinson<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

While the aluminium alloy Grail line switches from Schwalbe G-One Bite 40mm to Continental Terra Trail tyres in the same width, all other models are now shod with Schwalbe\u2019s all-new gravel racing tyre, the Schwalbe G-One R.<\/a><\/p>\n

Sweet fades at the top end<\/h2>\n

There\u2019s a real earthy theme going on with the Sand and Forest colourways throughout the range.<\/p>\n

Opt for the top-tier CF SLX models and you can choose between either the sandy-bronzed fade or hues of peppermint blended with the darker green front end.<\/p>\n

Accessorise with new LOAD bags<\/h2>\n

Two complementary new bike bags are on offer from Canyon, the two-litre capacity LOAD Handlebar Bag with an integrated GPS mount, and the LOAD Frame Pack.<\/p>\n

Both offer extra space for snacks, tools and extra layers, and are compatible with both the standard and Canyon Double Decker cockpits<\/a>.<\/p>\n
