Mar 2023

For someone looking to get into gravel cycling and wanting a bike that will serve them for a long time, the Canyon Grail AL 7 eTap is an excellent option. It's easily one of the best gravel bikes I've ridden, in terms of comfort, components and value.

Highs
  • Well-priced

  • GRX groupset performs well

  • Good all-round handling on road, gravel and trails

  • Good spec across the board

Lows
  • No rack mounts

  • Slightly harsh handlebar and tape combo over rougher terrain
