Canyon Announces Hoverbar-less Grizl Gravel Bike
Today Canyon debuts the Grizl, an all-new Gravel bike line that brings things down to just one level. The Grizl is Canyon’s answer to those looking for more adventure, more singletrack and more bikepacking featuring a standard drop bar handlebar.
The Grizl will be offered in two platform levels: The Grizl CF SL and the premium CF SLX, which features a lighter carbon frame (950g painted, size M, including small parts). Canyon USA will offer six Grizl models, ranging in price from $2,199 to $4,899. A limited selection of Grizl models will be available beginning May 11.
All Grizl models feature similar geometry to the Grail, and is offered in seven frame sizes (2XS – 2XL) for one of the broadest ranges on the scene. Similar to what the Canyon Grail offered, the two smallest 2XS and XS sizes use smaller 650B wheels, with bigger sizes rolling on 700C. Running 650b wheels on all but the smallest frames is not recommended by Canyon, as they say you won’t be able to run wider tires than what’s possible with 700c.
All Grizl models come with 45mm tires as standard mounted on tubeless-ready rims, with clearance for 50 mm. There’s internal routing for full dropper post compatibility. The Grizl is also both 1-by and 2-by compatible, debuting in America with Shimano GRX builds available on release.
Finally, Canyon teamed up with Apidura to create a set of packs tailored to the Grizl. The Apidura x Canyon Packs are as ready for adventure and as performance-oriented as the Grizl. The collection is exclusively available from Canyon and Apidura.com and will be available via Canyon’s website later this year.
