Canyon launches new aluminium Grizl

Canyon has launched a completely redesigned aluminium version of the Grizl, the brands adventure focused gravel bike. The new Grizl AL follows the trends of the second-generation carbon Grizl CF that was released last year, bringing many of the same updates to a more affordable price point. Canyon says the new frame has cut 120 grams off the outgoing model while adding increased tyre clearance, expanded mounting options, and simplified maintenance features aimed at riders using the bike for commuting, touring, bikepacking, and gravel riding. All models come stock with 45 mm tyres as standard, but clearance allows for up to 54 mm (roughly 2.1-inch) tyres. Canyon has also retained a threaded T47 bottom bracket, external cable routing, and a standard round seatpost with the Grizl AL. The range consists of three models starting at €1,299 / £1,250 / for the Shimano CUES-equipped Grizl 5. The line-up tops out with the €1,999 / £1,750 / Grizl 7 ESC, which includes Shimano GRX RX610 drivetrain components with a 10-51 cassette, and Canyon’s VCLS 2.0 carbon seatpost.
