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...

Canyon Grizl CF SLX 8 eTap Suspension gravel bike in review

May 2022 · By

We already know that the Canyon Grizl is a solid and versatile gravel bike. That means the main question is how adding a suspension fork affects performance. That's why the Grizl CF SLX 8 eTap Suspension with its Rudy suspension fork and SRAM Force electronic groupset had to prove itself in direct comparison to 18 of the best gravel bikes of the year.

Highs
  • Best comfort in test

  • Widest range of applications

  • Intuitive, very fun handling

  • Incredible price-performance ratio

Lows
  • Too little flare in the drops

  • Not as clean visually as its unsuspended relatives

Canyon Grizl CF SL 8 review

Mar 2022 · Paddy Maddison

Canyon is famous for delivering well-specified machines at competitive prices and its latest gravel/bike-packing rig is no different

Highs
  • More mounting points than you can shake a tent pole at

  • Confidence-inspiring handling

  • A lot of bike for the buck

Lows
  • Colour options won’t be for everyone

  • Weight

Canyon Grizl CF SL 8 1BY gravel bike review

Jul 2021 · Guy Kesteven

Grizl is the new adventure bike in Canyon’s gravel range, but how does it compare to the racier Grail and drop-bar all-rounders from other brands?

Highs
  • Excellent all-round balance

  • Impressively rapid and power happy

  • Rough smoothing ride

  • Stable without being dull

  • Super durable spec

  • Great direct delivery bike value

Lows
  • Potentially troublesome ThreadFit PF86 BB

  • Comes in a box, not from a shop

  • Luggage prices are higher due to Brexit
