Rapid ride
Lightweight design
Exceptional value
Unique handlebar assembly
Well-balanced handling
Limited mud clearance
Not ideal for tougher trails
Stiffer front end may not suit all riders
The Grail CF SL 7 eTap is well worth considering if you're looking for an extremely rapid, lightweight and agile gravel steed that's more forgiving than might first appear.
Bike PerfectIf I wanted to go bike adventure bikepacking, I’d surely pick a Grizl for the extra comfort. But when I want to go fast, it’s hard to beat the speedy feel of this new Grail.
BikerumorBarring the rather bland paint scheme, the Canyon Grail CF SL 7 eTap is a difficult gravel bike to fault.

With its Double Decker bar and flexible seat post, does comfort hinder the performance of the Canyon Grail? We put it to the test to find out.
High level of comfort thanks to the seat post and Double Decker handlebar
Polarising look with a unique paint job
Great spec at a fair price (including power metre)
Seat post tends to bounce at a high cadence
Poor cable routing rattles and scuffs the paint

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
Not the best long-hauler
