Canyon’s Grail is an optimized gravel racing machine, but is it the pinnacle of gravel tech or death by integration?
Very natural and intuitive handling
Long wheelbase makes the Grail extremely stable and controlled at speed
Frame storage and neatly integrated framebag options
Incredible spec for the money
Wide range of sizes
Lightweight build
Integrated bar limits fit adjustment and accessory integration
Doesn't include an internal frame storage pouch or the proprietary GPS mount
Canyon-specific accessories add additional costs
Seatpost is hard to adjust
Accessory availability can be an issue

The Grail's excellent ride quality, adaptability and decent(ish) value for money makes it my pick of the gravel race bikes on the market today
Calm, confident and stable handling
Well-designed integrated storage
Adaptable
Comfortable
Great build (though there are better-value options in the range)
Slightly fragile tyres, but they’re appropriate for a race bike
Mounts for regular mudguards would have been preferable
