Progressive geometry and simplified front-end for much-teased gravel race bike <\/p>
Canyon has launched the new Grail, nominally a gravel race bike but with features to make it more versatile for everyday use.<\/p>\n
The bike has undergone a ground-up redesign, dropping the Hover bar found on the original Grail<\/a> and switching to a new integrated Double Drop bar.<\/p>\n The new Grail incorporates downtube storage and comes with Fork Sleeves, which help you mount extra cargo on the fork.<\/p>\n Canyon says it has made these changes because the gravel scene has significantly evolved since the original Grail launched back in 2018.<\/p>\n The Grail was the brand\u2019s debut gravel bike and it encompassed all types of gravel riding<\/a>.<\/p>\n The more adventure-oriented Grizl<\/a> was introduced in 2021, and now the Grail has been refined to target the gravel race bike<\/a> market.<\/p>\n We first spotted the Canyon Grail when it was ridden to Unbound 2023<\/a> victory by Carolin Schiff, with Tiffany Cromwell, Peter Stetina and Jasper Ockeloen also aboard the new bike.<\/p>\n There will be three tiers of Grail available: the Grail CFR; CF SLX; and CF SL. This is the first time Canyon\u2019s premier CFR tier has been an option for the Grail.<\/p>\n Pricing starts at \u00a32,599 \/ $2,699 \/ \u20ac2,699 \/ AU$4,199 for the Grail CF SL 7 and rises to \u00a39,500 \/ $8,999 \/ \u20ac10,000 \/ AU$15,100 for the limited-edition Grail CFR LTD.<\/p>\n How does it ride? Deputy editor Jack Luke has delivered a full review of the Canyon Grail CFR Di2<\/a>.<\/p>\n
