Focused on dropping the complication and ramping up the usability and comfort, this gravel bike is a testament to Canyon's mantra: Drop everything and go explore. The heart of the Grizl is its light yet robust carbon frame, which brings into play all the advantages of Canyon's Gravel Pro geometry. We’re talking about a generous 50 mm tyre clearance paired with an extended wheelbase, ensuring you get extra stability when you're rattling off-road. And did I mention it barely tips the scales at 1.04 kg? That's the kind of weight spec that'll have you grinning as you effortlessly glide over rough terrain. The bike's front end is outfitted with the Canyon FK0087 CF Disc fork, which is more than just a piece of carbon to steer the bike. It comes with practical 3-screw mounting points on each side for loading up on long adventures. Shimano’s GRX RX810 brakes and the GRX RX812 GS derailleur handle the stopping and gearing with grace, promising a smooth and reliable ride across whatever backwoods trail or gravel path you decide to conquer. Rounding off this rugged adventurer are the DT Swiss G1800 Spline wheels. Built for the long haul, these wheels strike a balance between durability and weight, making sure you keep rolling comfortably without feeling bogged down. In essence, Canyon's Grizl CF SL 8 1by is a monumental nod to the free spirits looking to explore further. It’s a bike that makes a bold statement without saying a word, all the while promising an unforgettable ride across terrains less traveled. Canyon’s continued commitment to practicality, performance, and pioneering exploration shines bright with this model, making it a must-have for riders looking to stretch their legs beyond the beaten path. And with a sleek design to boot, you’ll not only ride efficiently but also in style.
