Cyclingnews Verdict

This version of the Grail is massively capable in pretty much any riding scenario. The new, bigger tyre clearance opens up more options, and Canyon has executed it well. This model didn't feel quite as lively to ride as the old bike, but I do not doubt that it is more capable.

Reasons to buy

+ Up to date 57mm clearance

+ Confident handling in all terrains

+ Massively capable

+ Fast on the flat

Reasons to avoid

- The top tube storage bag material is quite rough if your knees catch it.

- Canyon computer mount is not included in the price.

- This build didn't feel as nimble as the previous bike
