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.
BikeRadarIt’s a rugged workhorse of a bike that somehow never seems to teeter too far in any one direction.
CyclistThe 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!

Yes, this limited edition Canyon Grizl Throwback gravel bike isn't ashamed to admit that it's just a lightweight rigid 90s mountain bike!

You'll be hard pressed to find another rider who makes more use of the entire Canyon range of bikes than Mathieu van der Poel.

The Canyon Grizl 7 Suspension is a reasonably priced, top-rated gravel bike with an aluminum-frame. It shines on the descents and over rough surfaces...

What the hell is the difference between mountain and gravel bikes anyway?
Comfortable, fast, and fun to ride
Stable on high speed road descents and traditional gravel
Friendly geometry for technical terrain
Excellent power transfer
Good for mixed surface paths and gravel trails
Flexible platform with various build kits
Heavy, complex, and expensive suspension fork (Rudy)
Canyon speced a 1.25" steerer (disliked by reviewer)
Dropper post eliminates ride damping from previous flexy post
Canyon water bottles and cages not recommended
