Review: Canyon Grail CF SL 8.0 SL | road.cc
It's a product of great engineering, not just the frameset but the Canyon components too. It's been designed as a complete package – you can call them gimmicks if you like, but wow, they all add up to an awesome ride.
The Grail is fast, smooth, comfortable, light and has great handling, but above all else it's masses and masses of fun.
This article does a great job of articulating the riding experience of our bikes (given that the Grail is endurance oriented and the Inflite is race oriented).
I have to say, most gravel bikes that I have ridden are rather boring. But the inflite at least (and apparently the Grail too) put a huge smile on my face and make me want to go ride more. I've ridden no other bike that is that smooth and yet accelerates so fast.
