Canyon Grail AL 7.0 SL in bikepacking review

Oct 2020 · Benjamin Topf

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?

Highs
  • Top spec for the money

  • Braking performance

  • Good gravel all-rounder

Lows
  • Lacking comfort

  • Lacking mounting points

  • Some welds look rudimentary

  • Chainring too big

2020 Canyon Grail AL 7.0 gravel bike review: Big fun, small price - CyclingTips

Highs
  • Excellent value, solid build kit, familiar handling.

Lows
  • Staid color scheme, the usual quirks of buying consumer-direct.

Canyon Grail CF SL 7.0 review

Feb 2020 · Matthew Loveridge

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

Highs
  • Great spec with no weaknesses, generous gearing, lively frame

Lows
  • Hover bar makes mounting accessories and tweaking fit difficult
