I tested the burly, top spec Grizl:ON which can cut it easily on MTB trails
Very versatile thanks to the power on-tap
Stylish looks
Will be at home comfortably in MTB terrain
Clever light and frame bag system
A mode adjust button on the handlebars from the factory would help
Some audible rattle over rougher ground
Some motor drag/lag on more technical terrain

Simple styling and a short, catchy name: can the Canyon Grizl CF SLX 8 Force AXS Trail prevail with its subtle Canyon styling and plenty of comfort features?
Easy, intuitive, and predictable handling
Superbly comfortable thanks to the Canyon S15 VCLS 2.0 CF seat post and RockShox Rudy Ultimate suspension fork
Timeless design
Limited mounting points for an adventure bike

Plenty of mounts for bags
Tire clearance
Sturdy and easy power output
Large range of sizes

Rattling cables
Low spec groupset

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.
