Canyon's all-new Grail is reshaped as an aero gravel race bike with integrated storage, a more conventional cockpit, and more refined handling…

We put one of Canyon's fast and light gravel bikes to the test and see how it rides outside its comfort zone
Rapid ride
Good value
Lightweight
Damped bar and seatpost
Seven frame sizes
Not the best on tougher trails

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
