Good value for money
Plenty of mounts for bags
Stable handling and comfortable geometry
Versatile and capable on mixed surfaces
Durable and robust build
Weight is heavier than some alternatives
Rattling cables
Lower spec groupset on some models
Suspension fork adds complexity and weight in certain builds
Canyon has cleverly designed the chainstays to kink outwards near where the tire sits, providing more tire clearance, up to 50mm.
Bike PerfectIt’s a rugged workhorse of a bike that somehow never seems to teeter too far in any one direction.
CyclistWhere the Grizl really excels is exactly where you’d expect – mixed surface paths and gravel trails.
NSMBThe Grizl 7 Suspension inspires confidence on the descent thanks in no small part to the suspension fork and wide tires. This bike rips.

I saw a piece of graffiti once that has stuck with me. It said, ‘Make things people want, make people
Comfortable
Lots of mounts
Integrated luggage
Smart dynamo and handlebar options
Big 54mm clearance
Competitively priced
Cables through the bearings is fiddly
More upright geometry won't be for everyone
Can feel sluggish at times

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

Anyone paying close attention to the new Canyon Grizl adventure gravel bike specs might have noticed some first-ever Canyon-branded carbon wheels. They start with just…

How does Canyon's new adventure gravel bike perform out on the trails of Girona?
Increased tyre clearance to allow for up to 2 1in or 54mm tyres
Well thought out bikepacking specific design features
Taller reach helps improve comfort when pushing in the drops
No 2x option
