The Grail is a super fast race-focused gravel bike.
Bike PerfectThe bike feels brilliantly fast on the tarmac, and I found its nature encouraged me to push hard on the road and carry good speed as I would with a road bike.
CyclistThe Grail really impressed me with its sheer speediness, and although the bike isn't the lightest out there, it propels up hills effortlessly and traces down them with confidence.

The Grail RIFT is an exciting chapter in the Grail's story and should please you if you are considering gravel suspension
Same exciting, engaging Grail platform

The fork works well and smoothes out bigger bumps

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

Slightly fragile tyres but they re appropriate for a race bike
Mounts for regular mudguards would have been preferable
