The bike with the weird handlebar, the Canyon Grail CF, gets some second generation updates. The handlebar’s still here.

For 2020, Canyon, the direct-to-consumer power house, have redesigned their innovative carbon endurance-gravel bike. The second generation of Canyon’s gravel specific line will introduce a flagship model CF SLX 8.0 ETAP which will set you back by ‚¬ 4,899 ($5,379 USD) and weighs 8.3 kg (18.3lbs) according to the manufacturer’s specs. That bikes comes specced with SRAM Force eTap AXS/ Eagle AXS drivetrain and DT Swiss GRC 1400 SPLINE DB carbon wheels. If you prefer a two-by drivetrain, the ‚¬ 4,599 ($5,050 USD) Grail CF SLX 8.0 Di2 comes equipped with Shimano’s new electronic GRX Di2 drivetrain and weighs in at 8.3 kg. Canyon also rely on Shimano’s gravel-specific GRX drivetrain for the remaining models in the lineup.
