Canyon Grail CF SLX 8 Shimano GRX Di2 2024 test review Build quality
The general quality of the Canyon Grail CF SLX 8 Shimano GRX Di2 2024 is very good, the assemblies are good, as is the range of available sizes and colors.
It doesn't cost a fortune, it has an excellent quality/price ratio, the assembled Shimano version costs around 5100, the only real flaw is the online sale only
Canyon Grail CF SLX 8 Shimano GRX Di2 2024 test review Frame
The frame is completely new and is perfectly made.
New gravel-specific geometries, integrated cable routing, all very well done.
Specific fork for this version.
Good weight, 8.5kg for the assembled Shimano version.
Not bad ...

Canyon Grail CF SLX 8 Shimano GRX Di2 2024 test review Comfort
Very high, the comfort is very good and even superior to many competitors, even if there has not been a real upgrade compared to the past.
Overall, it ranks among the best gravel bikes ever in terms of ride comfort, just below the much more expensive and heavier suspension versions.
Comfort could still improve with a better saddle.
In terms of ride comfort, this is an aspect in which the Canyon Grail 2024 is unmatched, at least with the same type of chassis.
Canyon Grail CF SLX 8 Shimano GRX Di2 2024 test review Guide
A true competition gravel bike, stable and safe, but above all easy to handle, reactive and fast.
It requires a certain driving experience on difficult off-road sections and at high speeds.
It is not a very stable, touring gravel bike, but an excellent proposal for athletes who like performance.
With two road tires it doesn't look out of place even against a racing bike.
Very easy to handle, quick to enter corners.
With barely sensitive steering at high speeds, but still safe on descents and on the most difficult off-road sections.
Braking is also very good.
On the road it is similar to riding a racing bike, reactive and fast.
Off road it is equally competitive, especially on fast routes.
More difficult to ride on technical off-road routes.
Excellent gravel bicycle suitable for powerful and fast athletes, even expert riders, who will find a top frame for riding performance.
Canyon Grail CF SLX 8 Shimano GRX Di2 2024 test review Performance
The Canyon Grail is a very fast gravel bike, with a light weight and very competitive on fast routes.
Its performance is in line with other gravel models of similar weight, often much more expensive.
Excellent performance on the flat and off road, on flat and fast surfaces.
Equally competitive are the performances on the most difficult climbs.
It loses, if you don't have the riding skills, only on really difficult routes, off-road routes almost like mountain bikes, but where you can let the bike run it has top performance in the category.
With a strong and experienced athlete in the saddle it doesn't have many rivals, none at a similar price.
