Limited-Edition Canyon Grail: striking and complete gravel bike –

There was a time when Canyon bikes were considered boring. That time is over again, fortunately. They have another special one, one for the gravel lovers among us: a Grail CF SL 7 Race CSR. A mouth full (too full actually), but what about a picture?

Something for you? Then you need to be there quickly. Now, the latter is already on the agenda when a new bicycle comes on the market, but only 100 of this Grail will be on the market. The design is derived from the bicycle on which Prof Tiffany Cromwell rode during her gravel races in the USA. By the way, she did not do that unduly with, among other things, winning the Belgian Waffle Ride Kansas.

The color scheme is unique, as is the disassembly. This is the Grail CF SL frame. So not the top model, that’s the CF SLX. Sorry, you might think, but that’s keeping the price a little lower. The bike has the characteristic Double Decker handlebars, but also the S15 VCSL 2.0 carbon seatpost which consists of two parts for comfort.

Furthermore, an SRAM Rival eTap AXS XPLR group and a still beautiful DT Swiss GRC 1600 carbon wheel set with Schwalbe G-One R tires to finish it off.

Like said a mouth full, the name of this Grail, but he may be seen, right? Last time a limited edition Canyon Ultimate came out with a circulation of only 50 pieces. This Grail seems to be a prelude to the release of the new models for model year 22 which is due to arrive very soon. This bike can at least be ordered from Canyon from today and costs € 3,499.
