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!

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
Fun to ride
Excellent power transfer
Stable on high-speed descents
Versatile on mixed surfaces
Dropper post useful for technical terrain
Rudy fork is heavy, complex, expensive

Stock handlebars not ideal
Previous front derailleur was disliked
Dropper post lacks ride damping of original post
