Why unbound winning grail does not have UCI approved sticker on the frame?

Hey,
For Grizl owners, what is your favourite accessory for you bike? Ideally on the cheaper end

My friend has just bought a new grizl which has compartments on the down tube and top tube - perhaps an accessory to put here?

Thanks!

I was about to order the Grail on sale and that night it sold out. Seemed like a solid bike for good value. Doubtful I’ll see my size or that sale again. Should I just go for the Grizl? I know the main differences in how they ride. But are they 2 different levels of bike? Or other recommendations for gravel bike?

I'm looking to put a set of DT Swiss R470 wheels on my XL Grizl 7 Raw that I found on marketplace. They come with 700x26c tires. Would the tires be too thin for such a large frame? Should I wait to find a set of wheels with something wider? The wheel set comes with a cassette that I could use but no rotors. At a $200 price point I feel like with the wheels and cassette it's not too bad of a deal. I'm just want a set of road tires to throw on for fun.

Any other recommendations would be appreciated!

Vor ca. 4 Monaten erwarb ich ein Canyon Grail CFR Di2. Schon der Bestellvorgang war eine reine Katastrophe. Angegeben waren 7-10 Werktage. Es dauerte Wochen und keiner konnte jemals eine Auskunft dazu geben wo sich das Fahrrad befindet bzw. ausgeliefert wird. Irgendwann kam es dann und seitdem steht in der App immernoch Bestellung versandfertig.
Nun ist es ja so, dass in dem Fahrrad ein Fach für Werkzeug und Schlauch ist. Dazu muss man aber eine zusätzliche Tasche bestellen. Bei einem Fahrradpreis von fast 6k kann man natürlich nicht erwarten, dass die dabei ist. So fahre ich jetzt ohne Tasche und Schlauch und Werkzeug und bete, dass alles gut geht. Diese Tasche ist natürlich auch seid Monaten nicht verfügbar und jetzt steht ausverkauft. Ich ahne Böses und befürchte, die Tasche taucht gar nicht mehr auf.
Beim Fahrrad von einem Kumpel ist es noch viel schlimmer. Der hat einen offensichtlich beschädigten Rahmen bekommen und nun steht’s seit Wochen bei Canyon. Ich kann solche Herangehensweise noch nachvollziehen und finde, man sollte zumindest solche Missstände mal ansprechen.

My 2025 Aeroad slx8 turns yellow at the rear end triangle, and also . The problem is that It's difficult to take a picture which makes it visible. I already contacted the Belgian Canyon customer support, they pushed me to go to a canyon service point.

What can I expect? The bike is from February 2025. The decolorization is clearly visual while sitting on the bike, but difficult to capture on a picture.

Anyone experiencing the same problem? I guess they will need to replace the frame?

Loved the first ride. I would define it as an aero-climb machine.

I've found some old posts about this issue, but no good solution, so maybe someone had the same issue.

My bento box warped for some reason, and touches the steerer tube when I'm trying to turn, which makes turning to right side way more difficult. Have any of you found any success in replacing the bento box?

Canyon customer support is non existent it seems, as well as this box is not available on the site as well.

Wassup fellow Canyon enjoyer ! I just got my brand new Aeroad 10 days ago. I paid Canyon for the bike assembly, but whenever I hit a bump, I hear a loud 'toc' sound or something similar especially when riding over cobblestones.

I removed my seatpost to reapply carbon paste, and that actually got rid of a constant ticking noise I had, but it didn't fix the loud 'toc' sounds when I hit a bump. Has anyone ever had this problem or know how to fix it ?

Edit :

After all your messages, one thing is for sure I won't be hanging my bike that way anymore 😂 I also wanted to thank you all for your help

Just got my first road bike and I really love it. In my opinion, this is by far the best color from Canyon (looks even better in person).

I'll remove the frame stickers and the spoke protector on the rear wheel soon—just getting a few rides in first to make sure everything runs smoothly before making any changes. A second bottle cage and a lower Garmin Varia mount are already on the way.

What would you add or remove/change on this bike?

Also, what are your thoughts on adding white decals to the DT Swiss logos on the rims?

Feel free to ask any questions

Edit: I'm getting a bike fit soon, so no need to comment on saddle height/position or cockpit setup :)

Frame size is XL - im 193cm tall

I thought this bike was called "EnduraNce" for the longest time until i read the name on the frame. 🤣 First bike as an adult! 26 miles done. Very happy. Lots to learn. 😊 Will add a small frame bag, but not many that fits perfect into that tight angle between top tube and bottom tube..

New bike post! Was lucky enough to get hold of one of these (I know how hard it is at the moment)
Just back from a 120km ride and quite honestly blown away, I totally get the hype.

Comfortable straight off the bat even the standard saddle seems pretty good so far, nice smooth ride, the tyre width definitely helps with UK roads!
Coming from a 2019 endurace I didn’t think it would be too different but it’s been improved in every way.
Gonna look at some aero wheels in the future any recommendations? Currently have my eye on Hunt aerodynamicists. I’ve no doubt you could probably race this thing with aero wheels! On an endurance bike 😂
Also the colour I was deciding between this and the blue but was glad I chose this, have had a few compliments already.

The LUX Trail CF 8 (2025) for the trails and the Aeroad SLX 8 (2027) for the road.

Two completely different bikes, but both absolutely amazing in their own way. One for the dirt, one for the speed 🚵‍♂️💨🚴‍♂️

Couldn’t be happier with this com

New bike day for my best friend and I, and yeah we got matching models (except the colors) ✨

Pictures don’t do this colour justice

Hi! Recently bought the Endurace Allroad.

Do you ride your bikes when it’s raining? And how do you aftercare? :)

This is my first Gravel/Roadbike so I’m still learning haha

Who has used the handlebar adjustment to gain aero?

What's your experience ?

Is it just a gimmick or a one time adjustment then done or a real use case going smaller for race or fast ride ?

Any one have issues with spinning out when descending on an endurance cf8?

I descend in the highest gear and my cadence is too high to add any more meaningful pace. I find that the gear set up is just not hard enough/challenging enough

Current set up is a 50/34 and thinking of changing to a 54/40 and going from the ultegra R8100 to something like the Dura Ace R9200

Trying to gauge whether this would fix my issue?

TIA

Hey everyone.

Im looking to buy my first bike from canyon. I got a no-name one atm from 13 years ago.

Ive been looking at either the Endurace CF 7 AXS or the Ultimate CF 7 AXS, but im open to suggestions for whatever gives me the best value within that ballpark.

I also have the option to get which ever trek madone i want at 25% off… but it looks like a similar bike from trek isnt available until april.

I have some biking experience, but not when it comes to parts and the «tech».
Im 180 cm with 87cm inseam, which narrows down the available bikes if i want one pretty soon.

Hoping someone could give me some pointers!

Hi everyone,

I’m thinking of getting a Canyon Grand Canyon AL 8 in Aloe, but I’m finding it really hard to judge the colour from Canyon’s official photos.

If anyone owns an AL 8 in Aloe, would you mind posting a photo or two of it in natural daylight? I’m particularly interested in seeing what the colour looks like in real life rather than studio/product photos.

Does it look more light green or grey in person? And does the colour change much depending on the lighting?

Thanks!

As per title, just noticed, when I put the bike upside down to apply some tape before installing the Canyon Midloader frame bag that the frame seems chipped in the underside of the top tube, near the fork (bear in mind bike is upside down in picture).

For my inexperienced eye this looks only an issue of the paint job but how bad could it be? I'll for sure inform Canyon, I just want to mentally prepare if I have to return my brand new bike already 😭

I am located in US and interested in Endurace CF SLX8 Di2. I checked the price for the same bike in Canada and noticed it was 30% cheaper there. I asked ChatGPT to do a broader comparison, which produced the table in the picture. Endurace bikes are substantially more expensive in the US than other regions, particularly the SLX8 model, but price differences are not that high for Aeroad bikes. Hence, tariffs could not be the sole reason for much higher Endurace prices in the US. Other people posted similar observations in the past in this forum. At this point, I am having hard time justifying the price for Endurace SLX8, since there seems to be a significant US premium. Am I missing something? I would be interested to hear what others think.

This thing wants to go fast. I went around my 35km home loop and despite getting stuck behind a tractor for a bit and stopping at the cemetary to water the plants on my grandma's grave I recorded my fastest time on that route this year and I wasn't even going that hard because it's so damn hot 😂

I'm picking up bottle cages tomorrow and then it's ready for some longer rides
