Bike Perfect logoBike Perfect
Canyon’s claim of ‘all-you-might-ever-need gravel bike’ stands true to the test.
Cycling News logoCycling News
It’s a rugged workhorse of a bike that somehow never seems to teeter too far in any one direction.
Cyclist logoCyclist
The Grizl is an excellent gravel all-rounder, and missed out on the top spot by a narrow margin.
Gran Fondo Magazine logoGran Fondo Magazine
The Grizl 7 Suspension inspires confidence on the descent thanks in no small part to the suspension fork and wide tires. This bike rips.

Canyon Grizl CF 7 gravel bike review

Aug 2025

Canyon released the second generation of the Grizl platform back in July 2025, placing a special focus on its adventure gravel credentials and ability to bag big miles in the saddle. With the new model, Canyon has divided the range into two distinct lines: the Grizl OG (or Original Graveller) and the more adventurous, bikepacking-focused Grizl Escape models. Pictured here is the Canyon Grizl CF 7, which forms part of the OG line but still promises utility at a reasonably high level. Is Canyon working on an all new gravel fork?
