The 2023 Canyon Grail CF SLX 9 eTap in review - Our big gravel race bike shootout

Jun 2023 · Calvin Zajac

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.

Highs
  • 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)

Lows
  • Seat post tends to bounce at a high cadence

  • Poor cable routing rattles and scuffs the paint
