Fast, balanced and versatile on almost any terrain, is the Canyon Grail the most complete gravel bike on the market?
Super fast on all terrain
Exceptional ride quality
Well-balanced handling manners
Unique handlebar assembly works
Relatively lightweight
Well priced thanks to the direct-sell model
Colourway not the most inspiring

Fast and well-specced gravel bike for milder off-road terrain
Fast ride
Quality components
Unique bars add comfort
Di2 groupset helps with shifting under load
Less compliance on the hoods than on the tops
Clearance and grip not that great with supplied tyres

A gravel bike in a road bike group test? Quite right! With the Canyon Grail CF SLX8, the direct to customer brand sends its stalwart gravel machine into the test. Is the upgrade to DT Swiss aero wheels enough to stand up to the competition? You can find all the answers here.
Comparatively high comfort
Well-chosen transmission
Mudguards available as standard
Versatility sensibly expanded with upgrades
Susceptible to crosswinds
Limited adjustability of cockpit
On-road abilities don’t extend to high-performance use

The Grail 6 is a fantastic all-rounder that will do a bit of everything and has no real holes in its spec
Versatility
Solid spec
All-rounder tyres are good for both tarmac and gravel
More expensive than previous AL 7.0 model and now 10-speed rather than 11
Old model had rack mounts
