It’s still a road bike at heart, according to the Grail’s engineer, Daniel Heyder, but is designed to hit that ride sweetspot between tarmac-driven thrill and adrenaline-fueled adventure. 700c or 650b wheels? Oversized road rubber or borderline mountain bike tyres? Suspension or no suspension? Road, cyclo-cross or off-road geometry? Take a look at what’s already out there and you’ll find bikes which offer combinations of all these and more.Ĭanyon is no different in offering its own interpretation of the gravel bike (that’s the name we’re sticking with for now), but the brand hopes the Grail to define the genre. Almost every bike brand has launched a knobbly-tyred, adventure-seeking, drop handlebar bike over the past few years, but no one machine has set the standard as the benchmark machine. Gravel bikes, adventure bikes, all-road bikes – call them want you want, but they’re hot right now.
