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
