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...
Reasonable price
Suspension fork
Great on the descents and rough surfaces

What the hell is the difference between mountain and gravel bikes anyway?
Comfortable
Fast
Functional dropper post
Good suspension fork for rough terrain
Excellent for mixed surface paths and gravel trails
Power transfer is excellent
Apidura bags are durable and waterproof
Rudy fork is heavy, complex, and expensive
Previous Canyon post had better ride damping (flex)
Canyon spec'd a 1.25" steerer
