Versatile and fun to ride
Excellent value for money
Lightweight and responsive handling
Unique double handlebar design for comfort
Solid build kits across models
Divisive looks may not appeal to everyone
Lacking comfort on rough terrain for some models
Limited tire clearance compared to competitors
Few bikes stand out as much as Canyon’s carbon fibre Grail with its unique double handlebar design.
This is a gravel bike for the recovering roadie.
The Canyon Grail AL has been like the little pressure-release on top of those Sistema microwaveable Tupperware pots for me, a way to briefly forget the world.

The Canyon Grail AL 7.0 SL is one of our most tested bikes. After awarding it the Best Buy in our 2020 gravel bike group test, it now has to prove itself as a bikepacking rig. Does the Grail AL have everything it takes for big adventures?
Top spec for the money
Braking performance
Good gravel all-rounder
Lacking comfort
Lacking mounting points
Some welds look rudimentary
Chainring too big

While some gravel bikes are trying to be more like mountain bikes with drop bars, the geometry and look of the Canyon Grail AL 7.0 suggests that it is more of a road bike with extra tire clearance. Canyon doesn’t take many risks with this aluminum gravel bike, but is it actually any good? As […]
Excellent value, solid build kit, familiar handling.
Staid color scheme, the usual quirks of buying consumer-direct.

The Grail is a capable gravel bike that will turn heads wherever you take it. Its unique cockpit is an acquired taste, and it has practical implications that not all riders will accept
Great spec with no weaknesses, generous gearing, lively frame
Hover bar makes mounting accessories and tweaking fit difficult

The same geometry and pedigree as the double handlebar Grail, the Grail AL is aimed at the gravel riders and races that like the stiffness of alloy and the price point it offers. - Mtbr.com
