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 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?

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

Well thought out bikepacking specific design features
Taller reach helps improve comfort when pushing in the drops
No 2x option

I tested the burly, top spec Grizl:ON which can cut it easily on MTB trails
Very versatile thanks to the power on-tap
Stylish looks
Will be at home comfortably in MTB terrain
Clever light and frame bag system
A mode adjust button on the handlebars from the factory would help
Some audible rattle over rougher ground
Some motor drag/lag on more technical terrain

Simple styling and a short, catchy name: can the Canyon Grizl CF SLX 8 Force AXS Trail prevail with its subtle Canyon styling and plenty of comfort features?
Easy, intuitive, and predictable handling
Superbly comfortable thanks to the Canyon S15 VCLS 2.0 CF seat post and RockShox Rudy Ultimate suspension fork
Timeless design
Limited mounting points for an adventure bike
