Good value for money
Ample tire clearance for up to 50mm tires
Comfortable and stable geometry for varied terrain
Multiple mounts for bags and accessories
Versatile and capable of handling rough gravel
Heavier weight compared to some alternatives
Rattling or semi-integrated cabling
Lower spec groupset on some builds
Limited suspension damping in rigid models
Fewer accessory mounts on suspension versions
Canyon has cleverly designed the chainstays to kink outwards near where the tire sits, providing more tire clearance, up to 50mm.
Bike PerfectCanyon’s claim of ‘all-you-might-ever-need gravel bike’ stands true to the test.
Cycling NewsIt’s a rugged workhorse of a bike that somehow never seems to teeter too far in any one direction.
CyclistThe Grizl is an excellent gravel all-rounder, and missed out on the top spot by a narrow margin.
Gran Fondo MagazineThe Grizl 7 Suspension inspires confidence on the descent thanks in no small part to the suspension fork and wide tires. This bike rips.

Canyon's latest bike is a full-on love letter to bikepacking. Read our Canyon Grizl Escape ECLIPS review here...
The most feature-rich bikepacking rig I’ve tested
ECLIPS system is pretty slick
Fidlock frame bag is very well designed
Stable and inspring geometry
Great value for what you get
Internal frame storage for the win!
Loads of bikepacking accessories offered that fit seamlessly
Incredibly lightweight, even with racks and lighting system
Could use more tire clearance
Stiff ride overall
Odd bike sizing
Internal headset routing
Full Mounty is not adjustable and won’t accommodate most aftermarket bikepacking bags
Rear rack mounts are not universal

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

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
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
More mounting points than you can shake a tent pole at
Confidence-inspiring handling
A lot of bike for the buck
Colour options won’t be for everyone

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
