Canyon's BEST Gravel Bike | NEW Canyon Grail Review

Jack Luke has been testing the third-tier Grail CFR Di2. It’s not exactly a storming bargain at £6,699 (US pricing TBC), but compared with similarly-priced bikes from its competitors, the build actually packs a punch.

This latest version of the Grail sees the demise of the infamous Hoverbar. Instead replaced by what Canyon is calling the Double Drop bar. This is a conventional one-piece bar/stem with some clever shaping that’s designed to improve comfort and compliance off-road.

Jack makes some bold claims when it comes to the performance of the Grail and believes it to be the best gravel bike they have ever made.

What do you think of the new Grail? Are you sad to see the Hoverbar go? Let us know what you think in the comments 👇
