A Revitalised Aluminium Frame
The new Canyon Grizl AL features a reworked aluminium frame that sheds 120 grams compared with the previous version. That modest saving makes the bike feel livelier without compromising its strength. The structural choice reflects Canyon’s intention to make the most of technical advances in manufacturing.
The brand is also emphasising a modular design, with more mounting points to take racks, mudguards or bikepacking bags. The Grizl AL therefore becomes an ideal choice for adventurers and urban riding alike. The 54 mm tyre clearance is a significant addition, turning this gravel bike into a machine ready for tougher terrain.
Performance and Simplicity
Canyon has taken a pragmatic approach with the Grizl AL, opting for simple, reliable mechanical solutions. External cable routing, a standard steerer, a T47 threaded bottom bracket and a round seatpost all make servicing easier. Decisions that will please long-distance riders who care about how long their kit lasts.
On the road, the Grizl AL offers reassuring stability and good comfort, even on demanding routes. The range starts at €1,299 with a variety of builds, such as the Grizl 6 and the Grizl 7 ESC for fans of long adventures.
Affordability and Equipment
The Grizl AL’s value for money remains competitive, particularly against rivals that often charge more for a similar specification. The entry-level model already comes with a solid package, with a capable drivetrain and tubeless-ready wheels.
With a focus on affordability, Canyon offers a genuine budget alternative to carbon. The Grizl AL appeals through its practical, versatile and affordable approach, without losing the pleasure of riding well-designed, well-equipped bikes.
