Summary
The Canyon Grail stands out in the gravel bike category with its innovative Hover Bar design, offering a unique blend of comfort and control. It's praised for its lightweight build, versatile performance on both tarmac and gravel, and stable handling on rough terrain. However, the Hover Bar's polarizing aesthetics and limited fitting options may not suit all riders.

The Grail is Canyon’s first gravel bike and is built around the Hover bar, an unusual new handlebar concept that is without a doubt the bike’s headline feature.. .

Leave it to Canyon to think outside the box with its new Grail. It’s a gravel bike that should be more than enough for most who want to venture off the beaten track, but before you do so, you’ll have to accept the radical design of the integrated handlebar, and prepare yourself for endless coffee […]
