Key Quotes
The Grizl is hands down one the smoothest riding drop bar bikes I’ve ridden.
BIKEPACKING.com
It’s got just about all the best bits of the carbon Grail with none of the weirdness or constraints imposed by the funky cockpit.
BikeRadar logoBikeRadar
It’s a rugged workhorse of a bike that somehow never seems to teeter too far in any one direction.
Cyclist logoCyclist
The bike deservedly wins this test and is a glimpse into the future: gravel all-rounders will increasingly have active suspension – the performance says it all!

Canyon Grizl CF SLX 8 eTap Suspension gravel bike in review

May 2022 · By

We already know that the Canyon Grizl is a solid and versatile gravel bike. That means the main question is how adding a suspension fork affects performance. That's why the Grizl CF SLX 8 eTap Suspension with its Rudy suspension fork and SRAM Force electronic groupset had to prove itself in direct comparison to 18 of the best gravel bikes of the year.

Highs
  • Best comfort in test

  • Widest range of applications

  • Intuitive, very fun handling

  • Incredible price-performance ratio

Lows
  • Too little flare in the drops

  • Not as clean visually as its unsuspended relatives
