Moved from stans grail 25mm profile, those 40mm zipp 303 firecrest are sweet things

Edit : its a grizl cf sl 7

I received my Aeroad and just finished putting it together and noticed this crack. I bought this in the outlet section and even if this was just a gouge in the frame, the photos they had put up never showed this damage. I’m pretty sure it’s a crack/delamination since there’s like ripples/bubbles under. It’s located on the left chainstay.
What should I do? I already emailed them. I will call them first thing in the morning.

Anyone ever put a seat mounted rack on their Endurance Allroad? I know it says not to, but why? I like to carry a small bag on long rides. It was fine on my old Trek, and it had an aluminum seat post too.

New canyon grail slx 7 di2 size L

Changed groupset from 717 to 827, cassete, crank powemeter 4iii and cl900 rotors
Replaced 45 tyres with vittoria terreno t50 50 with vittoria air-liner front/reat
Saddle pro stealth superlight

Final weight 9.5kg including pedals, tubeless, frame vinil…

Since it’s started to rain in norway and will continue to rain until next year, i’m using the rattle free DEFEND fenders set on my endurace.

However, it has a quite annoying rattle noice when riding, and it is caused by a little movement in the click-release buckle between the fender and the bracket on the bike.

Anyone else with this issue? Is there a fix?

Hi, ich hab seit einer Woche mein neues Canyon Grail CF 7 und bin sehr glücklich damit. Leider passt mein altes Vorderlicht nicht mehr auf den Aero-Lenker deswegen bin ich auf der Suche nach einem passenden Vorderlicht. Ich würde mir eine Befestigung der Halterung mithilfe der Gewindebohrungen im Lenker wünschen, brauche aber keinen Extra mount für einen Fahrradcomputer wie beim Canyon FLASH 800 GEAR GROOVE Frontlicht Set. Hat jemand Tipps?

Looking to buy the Grand Canyon AL 7 (2026, size S) as my first bike. I was considering the Grizl, but I have mild kyphosis so the drop bar position isn't ideal for me - flat bar feels much better for my back.
I'll mainly ride trails and gravel in Greece, but occasionally want to do longer rides (50-80 km) on mixed terrain. Anyone here riding a Grand Canyon on longer distances? How does it handle? Any tips?
Thanks!

I ordered the new Grail CF SLX 7 Di2 in XS, but I’m unsure whether I should switch to 2XS before it ships.

My measurements:

• Height: 5’5¼” / 165.7 cm
• Inseam: around 31” / 78.7 cm
• Arm span: 67.5” / 171.5 cm

Canyon recommends 2XS, but I’m right near the XS boundary in the attached screenshot. I want a sporty position but also want to be comfortable on longer rides. My concern is being stretched out on XS or cramped on 2XS.

Would appreciate any input on how to make this decision, whether you’ve been between Canyon sizes yourself, know about bike fitting, or have experience with the Grail. You don’t need to have the same measurements as me.

What would make you choose one size over the other? I can still change my order and just want to get this right.

Thank you!

So my arms are very slightly bent with the saddle all the way forward. What size did you guys for for with similar height and inseam?

Hey people,

on Monday I took delivery of my new Exceed CFR Gravel. I would have loved to post a bunch of NBD pictures, but couldn’t go on a first ride yet.
Sadly the freewheel seems to be broken.

The good thing is, that Canyon customer service has been taking good care of me so far. I started a ticket right after assembling the bike and noticing the problem. Yesterday there was a phone call and I was sent to one of their service partners to have the wheel checked. Today I was at the service partners‘, obvious result: broken freewheel.
Another call with Canyon and now I’m waiting for their solution / the shipping notice for the new wheel.

Can’t wait to go on the first tour with it.

Cheers

Absolute love this gen 3 Grail! Pro 100mm stem is a must for me. I’m 184cm. Aeroad 26 in M with 110 pro stem. Tubes in this is 209 grams each. First time tubeless an love it. My girlfriend has the CFR and that had tpu tubes (much lighter) so she didn’t save going tubeless but hey, 2XS CFR is light vs mine. I need bigger front ring for my fast flat rides and I dream about smaller cassette too, but I can’t go for smaller cassette because of long cage? Ride on!

SRAM 12 speed vs 13 speed.

Hello All.

I can for the life of me not figure out the compatible parts between the two systems.

Background.

Both bikes mentioned is 1x

I have on my current gravelbike ( Ridley ASTR) SRAM 12 speed (AXS). The frame is UDH for the derailleur. I have 3 wheelsets all with XDR driver and 12 speed casettes.

I'm now looking at a Canyon Grizl. It's also with AXS, but 13 speed. And UDH frame.

My thought would be to keep the wheelsets so I don't have to change tires. I have one with 32mm slick for road, one set with 50 mm cinturato all road for hardpack and bike packing. And one set with 50 mm Cinturato gravel M for when it's more muddy and wet gravel.

I'm down to 3 solutions.

1. Change the 13 speed derailleur and cassette on the Grizl to a 12 speed setup.

( probably cheapest option 350 -400€ and the i maybe can resell the 13 speed derailleur and casette)

1. Change the derailleur and 3xcassettes to 13 speed. ( expensive as fck appx 1000 €).

2. Finding an alternative to the Grizl with a 12 speed axs setup from the get go ( but the Grizl tick all the boxes for my upcoming need, bosses for mounting racks front and back and so on).

I'm so annoyed if there isn't any backwards combability from SRAM. It's like apple, making small increments and the rendering a perfectly usable product unusable.

Am I missing something. Is there an easier solution I haven't thought of??

Hey everyone,

I’m currently looking for a solid front light setup for my bike and came across the Canyon Flash 800
Before pulling the trigger, I wanted to ask the community: Does anyone have experience with this specific light, or are there better alternatives out there?

My main criteria are:

Clean integration: I’m running the Pace Bar Cockpit and really want a sleek, integrated look

Easy handling: It needs to be quick and painless to attach and detach for charging or daytime rides, without having to unscrew the mount every time.

How does this light perform in real-world use (brightness, battery life, quick-release mechanism)?
Or is there another setup that looks even cleaner and works better on the Pace Bar?

Appreciate any recommendations or thoughts!

Hi guys, I ride an Aeroad CF SLX 7 DI2 C46 and Im pretty happy with it. However I need opinions on light options for the front. My bike has the CP0048 Cockpit and I already use a garmin mount.

I also already have a light with a go pro adapter, which I want to use but I cant find an option to combine a go pro mount with the already purchased garmin mount from canyon.
Do you have any ideas? A friend of mine printed a few prototypes which combines the mount and a go pro adapter but they where not very durable. If there is a possibility I would like to safe some money instead of buying a new adapter.

If there is no workaround then I would appreciate if you can suggest some good working models.
Thanks in advance!

I couldn't find a clean way to mount my Wahoo radar on the Aeroad, so I designed and printed my own holder (photos attached).

Hey everyone,
I’d really appreciate some real-world input from anyone riding the current Canyon Grail or who has experience comparing these builds.

The Situation:
I just received a brand-new Grail CF 7 with mechanical Shimano GRX 1x12. I actually love the bike itself, but the drivetrain is driving me crazy:

• In gears 1 to 4 (under load on the largest cogs), the chain is extremely noisy, rattling and rubbing while pedaling forward.
• When backpedaling on the big cogs, the chain instantly drops 1–2 gears down (I understand chainline physics on 1x, but the forward rattling under load is unacceptable on a brand-new bike).
• The local authorized Canyon service partner brushed it off with: "That’s normal, just ride it for 20–30 km and it’ll break in." (Spoiler alert: after putting on those test miles, absolutely nothing broke in or got quieter).

This isn’t my first Canyon arriving with drivetrain alignment issues out of the box, and my patience with mechanical cable stretch and bent derailleur hangers is basically gone. I’m currently deciding whether to initiate a 30-day return or upgrade to an electronic build.

My Profile & Use Case:

• Background: I come from mountain biking (been riding 1x12 Shimano XT and SRAM GX for years, both completely quiet and flawless).
• Usage: Short after-work loops and a permanent companion on camper van trips (regularly strapped down and transported in the van’s rear garage).
• Fit & Features: I’m perfectly happy with the standard 2-piece CF cockpit. I do not need the internal downtube storage compartment of the SLX.

My Questions for the Community:

1. Grail CF 7 Speed (SRAM Rival XPLR AXS 1x13): Since the derailleur mounts directly to the frame/axle via the UDH Full-Mount interface (eliminating the traditional hanger entirely), is this system genuinely as robust, quiet, and foolproof against transport knocks as claimed? Does it run dead silent on the big climbing cogs under load?
2. Grail CF SLX (e.g., with Di2): As far as I know, Shimano Di2 still uses a conventional derailleur hanger and runs a 2x12 setup on the SLX. Besides saving ~150 g and gaining the frame storage hatch, is there any real-world benefit for an MTB rider, or is the SLX complete overkill for casual evening rides and camper van duty?

Is making the jump to the CF 7 Speed worth the price bump to finally get a quiet, hassle-free gravel bike or just ask somebody with competence to fix my GRX and forget the Upgrade!?

Thanks for sharing your experiences!

Hey Guys. Looking into buying my first bike and well, pretty sure about the brand😉. I’ve got a bike on my mind and I’m gonna check it out in a few days. I am wondering for the correct price of this beautiful machine. If you could help me out it would mean allot❤️ i’ll post some details about it and yeah, thanks!

Its a Canyon Endurace cf slx disc 9.0 LTD 2018 with sram red etap’s ( 11 speed ). It has DT Swiss ERC 1100 dicut db wheels.

European market.

I bought my Aeroad CF SLX 8 di2 2026 in crystal white February this year, and the metallic acid was released some months later.
I really like the metallic acid, and it annoys me that this wasn’t an option when i bought mine. I’ve ridden my bike outdoors around 1700km, but it’s well maintained.

Would it be stupid to sell my bike just to buy the exact same one in a different color? Has anyone been in the same situation?

I’m worried that I’m just overthinking, but this annoys me more than I’d expect.

In general, extremely happy with the bike.

FYI, i have DT swiss ARC 1400, while the current configuration is ARC 1600 on the website. That doesn’t really bother me

Hi all, my 2027 Endurace CF SLX 8 Di2 arrives soon, and Canyon confirmed no tools come with it. I want to carry a multitool, tubeless plug kit, CO2 + inflator, a TPU tube and maybe a mini pump, all inside the frame.

1. Which tools actually clip onto the door? The FIX Minitool 6+1, the 3-in-1 Minitool, or only the Canyon CO2 inflator?
2. Does a mini pump or small electric pump fit inside without rattling?

A photo of your setup or the underside of the door would help a lot. Thanks!

Hi everyone!

I’m currently hesitating between the Canyon Endurace AllRoad and the Nakamura Allroad 250, and I’d love to hear your opinions and real-world experiences with these bikes!

My riding would be roughly 80% road and 20% gravel, with some commuting as well. Most of my sporty rides will be on tarmac, including group rides with friends who ride road bikes. I’d like to be able to keep up with them reasonably well, including on climbs, which is also why I’m leaning towards a 2x drivetrain.

At the same time, I want to be able to venture onto gravel paths and forest trails without having to worry too much about the terrain. I’m not looking for a pure road bike, but I do want something that feels efficient and enjoyable on tarmac.

My feeling is that the Canyon might be better suited to my needs, as it seems to have a more road-oriented geometry, whereas the Nakamura feels more like a dedicated gravel bike. However, the Allroad 250 also seems to offer a very compelling spec for the price!

Which one would you choose for this kind of riding? In particular, I’d love to hear from owners about how these bikes perform on pure road rides: efficiency, comfort, handling, and how they feel when riding at a decent pace. I’d also be especially interested in hearing about their climbing performance, particularly when riding alongside people on road bikes.

P.S. I’m also considering the Giant Revolt 1, Kona Rove and Van Rysel Sword. If you have experience riding any of these on tarmac, I’d love to hear your thoughts too! My main concern is that they might be a little too gravel-oriented for my predominantly road-based riding.

Thanks in advance!
