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...
Reasonable price
Suspension fork
Great on the descents and rough surfaces
Nice component spec
Comes in both carbon and aluminum frames and multiple builds
Fairly heavy
Longer reach
Fewer accessory mounts than rigid fork version

What the hell is the difference between mountain and gravel bikes anyway?
Comfortable and fast
Stable on high speed descents and gravel
Friendly geometry for technical terrain
Excellent power transfer
Dropper post and suspension fork enhance capability
Suspension fork is heavy, complex, and expensive
Build quality note: Canyon water bottles and cages not recommended

Bwilling acceleration and high speed on hardpack
Very good value for money
Plenty of mounts
High versatility of the frame platform
Cockpit ergonomics and compliance
Noisy due to rattling cables
Range of use limited by build compared to the competition
