Canyon Grail Cockpit Swap & Aero Bar Install

The new Canyon Grail - like an increasing number of high-end road and gravel race bikes - comes with an integrated cockpit, meaning the handlebar and stem are one piece. This looks cool, and can save some weight and some aerodynamic drag, but what if you need to change it for a better fit?

In this video, I swap out the stock bar for the pro handlebar, which is 40mm wide and comes in 4 lengths, and then I install the integrated aero bar too.

In doing so, I’ll show you what the process is for this bike and how it compares to other bikes, both standard cockpits and integrated ones.

Canyon sells consumer direct, which means good pricing, but this also highly limits options for adjustability - at least for those of us outside Canyon’s home country of Germany.

As of late January 2024, the pro bar, the aero bar and the computer mount are not available in the US, nor is pricing for them. If and when Canyon adds I will update a link here.
