My Honest Opinion of Cannondale Lefty Topstone: ruclips.net/video/03tJnvXKSPQ/видео.html
Dude...I can't imagine, or believe why you don't have at least, 1,000,000 subs!
The work and effort you put into creating your videos deserves AWARDS!
Too Portlandia with the puke purple. That’s why.
Facts! This is one of the best biking channels there is.
Wow, thank you!
I got a Canyon Neuron and I´m mucho impressed with the stock accessories and wheelset it came with. No changes besides saddle.
Been road biking for years but was interested in trying out the gravel craze. Didn’t want to drop an insane amount of money for a quality Gravel bike so I love what brands like Canyon and Fezzari offer. More for less. After seeing this video I pulled the trigger on getting one for myself. Couldn’t be more stoked! Never thought I would’ve ever bought a Fuchsia colored bike but really, it’s sick!
Also great content! Thanks for the work you put in and the quality in which you do it.
Yes!!!! This is the review I’ve been waiting for!!! I am in LOVE with that Grape Grizl!
I was thinking about grizl, but decided to go with cheap Poseidon X Ambition and upgrade it with few parts.. since I am more MTB, and gravel is not my primary bike. love it.. the only con - max tire width is like 44mm for 700C wheels and 1.9-2 for 650b...
Great video, Dustin!
I have a Grizl 7 AL suspension and it works like a charm. I agree on the saddle being too grippy and I will be changing it. I also had some doubts about riding on the road, but now it's totally fine. Cheers! 🍻
I worked at the local shop level for years. When Canyon hit the market we hated them. As a cyclist who now has to pay normal, non pro form prices I love the concept. I now refer to them as the “ex mechanics special". The Endurance CF I bought last year is as good as the equivalent spec’d red “S" model. That purp drank color is reason enough to buy that Grizl let alone the fact they have it on sale for $1600.
For curiosity sake, what about Canyon didn't you like? I've been eyeing their bikes for a while now.
@@josephcaserta5692it’s because they worked at a physical store. So, direct to consumer is always “hated” because they are less expensive thus reducing the number of bikes sold in store.
@@smccrode Yes, and No. Typically what I see is Fantastic marketing and sloppy support after the sale.
1 guy got very lucky they warrantied his 3-4 month old cracked frame.
IMO, Canyon are still too expensive. The bike industry has to come back to sanity.
I'm looking to finally pull the trigger on a good quality, versatile, gravel bike and happened upon your channel and absolutely love your approach to showcasing bikes. Concise, entertaining, good editing, and very even volume tones with no wind noise. Well done! Also this bike is at the top of my list from the research I've done.
Matt, I appreciate your good words. IF you go with the Canyon let them know I sent you ;)
Great video. Nice combination of fun, fact and opinion. Strong technical/aesthetic as well. Happy trails!
Nice! My wife has the 6 on order. Similat bike with 2x grx400 looks like like a pretty sweet setup for 1300 bucks
I have the Grizl CF SL 7. Been riding it almost every day for a year and a half now. Love it! The saddle mine came with might be worse than the one yours came with tho as at least yours has the channel in the middle. An advantage of the AL frame is that it has rear rack mounts that the CF lacks. The bike has an "aggressive" stack and reach so flipping the stem was a must for me.
This is a great video and the Capita Neo Slasher in the back made it even better. I like this guy.
Great video, loved the edit with the music, and cutscenes. I got a Grizl 7 Al too and really enjoy it! It's fast, capable and reasonably comfortable. On top of the saddle I switched the handlebars as well, rather poor stock bars
Hi there, I have the Grizl CF 7 and just love it!! I did replace the handle bar for a carbon one, the saddle and put a redshift stem on it. Thanks for great video content! 😊
Man, I think you are a magician with putting this adventure together for my viewing on a Saturday night!
I literally been looking at this exact machine dude. Look forward to see your insights.
i love my grizl! My 8th Canyon since 2000. Tip: Also a good colour matching for the canyon matchia (green/grey) colour is the specialized Recon 2.0 Gravel/Road bike Shoe in blue (the blue is more of a grey).
Great review! I love the looks of that bike. Modern aluminum frames are much better than the early years. Those first gen cannondales (had an '85) were harsh. Will you talk about those shoes more?
I got the carbon version of this (at a nice discount because of my job). Swapped the saddle to something more comfortable. Put a wolftooth roadlink and a spuper wide 11-42t cassette on the 2x so I have tons of range for making it through hard climbs even though I'm not the most fit rider in the group. Put a more flared handlebar on for personal preference. The fenders were in stock in Germany so I have them on. Made it though tons of muddy and wet rides recently staying prettty clean compared to my group :)
I actually really like the grippy saddle on my fixed gear bike though.
It has so many mounts and is such a solid bike, I still go back and forth on whether I should have gotten the Alu version for the extra rack mounts. But the Alu version doesn"t come in the Curry Yellow color :)
I recently bought the Grizl CF-SL7. Made it tubeless and changed that horrific saddle. The bike is fantastic!
Just got the Grizl SL7 carbon a week ago and am loving it! My first carbon bike upgrading from a salsa journeyman and holy cow.
Mega vid, another ace route.
Bike looks mint 🏁🏁💪💪💐
Dude i've been on the fence about a grizl. Thanks for this. I'm jumping it on it now.
Just found your channel, I appreciate the production quality and nice edit, subbed.
Much appreciated!
One month ago I got the CF SL 8 in rim brake mafia. You're right the saddle has to go, way too grippy. I slapped on some Mercury S5's with 28mm tires. I'm really digging this bike. Note: sizes run big so talk to a rep before ordering.
❤the video man !!! wish I was there with you guys !
Player!
Hey Dustin! How cool are your videos. Thank you for that quality. Greetings from Ibiza!
Hey, thanks!
I've been canyon curious for a while!
Great review. very informative and entertaining.
I ride a Grail AL and love it. Canyon sell their own fender kit that goes to those small bolt holes and it is actually really good right out the box. Mine is on the bike all year.
I have a Canyon Grizl CF SL 7 1by and I love it. I did upgrade the saddle immediately but that's standard practice and upgraded the wheels a few months after purchase. Got her down to 19 pounds!
Hey Dustin! I've got a Canyon Grail Al with electronic shifters and bought the AXS dropper and it's so much fun. The fender situation is something you got to get from Canyon themselves. Got rid of the butt-rubber as well. Munched away my pants! Thanks for the awesome vids and keep on Gravlin'!
That is awesome!
I have got those canyon fenders, they are solid!
The thing with Canyon is if you want no-problem 10-minute assembly accessories (mudguards, racks, kickstands) then you have to go with their stuff. They are good, they fit perfectly but yeah... that's a vendor lock-in.
I have a Canyon Aeroad, its damn fast, feels fast, but you can still ride century's (miles) with ease. I also have a Grail Sl with the hover bar and split seat post running 38's and 2X. It the perfect all round weapon. Not as fast as the Aeroad but more than capable on-road and is tough enough for abuse off-the-road too and with the 48th big ring you can go faaast on the smooth gravel/ fire roads here in the UK.. Great content.
The scenery! Wow!
Bike and shoe color 🙌 and that bunny hop from Mr. D 👊
Hardtail mtb > gravel bike.
bunny hop was awesome!
I have a canyon Lux World Cup CF mtb and I love it, rides super nice and the remote lockout is sweet.
That's one of the top rides we got, soooo good. Nice to see uncle Seth in the mix!!!! I agree on aluminum frames as long as we run the bigger+tubeless tire setup. Great review.
Where is this ride? Wow looks fun.
@@SteveBrehaut This is parts of The Dalles Mountain 60 (if not mistaken).
I had to watch @3:07
a few times to figure out what you did there. Nice editing!
Got my hands on a grail and lovin' it. Know the issue with the fenders but there is a solution! Canyon sales specific fendors for their bikes. Easy to install but sadly a little bit to short. Ride on 🤙
Keep making vids, I don’t have time for that long of rides, but I am living vicariously through y’all 😂
I GOT YOU🤘🏻
the section with the grx stock bit.. pure lols
Great video - you guys are so lucky with the amazing terrain you have to ride on - those views!!!!! I’m a big fan of canyons - I have their endurance road bike, and have had a grail previously as well.
We are blessed with the train, but we pay for it with the weather. 🤣
Appreciate you, Phillip
Where did you ride?
Definitely like my Grizl CF SL 6 with 2x10 GRX for big bikepacking adventures with pretty long paved sections.
Great review which was also entertaining and funny
I have and LOVE that saddle. A cheap, short, crazy comfy gravel saddle that feels just right. I hear you on the sticky factor, but I like that vibe, the more "slippery" saddles can be challenging on a gravel or mtb because slipping out of position is worse than a temporary adjustment of starting in the wrong position, IMHO
I have the same bike, and switched out the saddle as well, for it being too sticky. Just goes to show that saddle choice is very personal.
Saddle is good 👍😊.. personal preference 4 sure 😊👍👋
Bought a Canyon Grail 6 last spring. Love it!
I love m’y Grizl !! I just had a problem with the crankset but all good. The bike versatile and fast. I agree with your cons and it needs a dropper for sure haha
got a Grizl CF SL 6 and I‘m freaking LOVE IT🤯🤘🏻
Cool Video! Did a small test ride on one last year and was impressed for the money.........Purchased a CF SL 7 1by with the dropper and rode it for 6-7 months. It came with the same terrible seat and the same gearing. I quickly swapped out the stock 42t for a 46t xt cassette and it was a much better climber. I had a few issues with the seat post slipping which seems to be kind of a thing with some Canyon's, however Canyon has good support and helped to sort out.
I also have the Canyon Grizl...light green color 2x drivetrain...love it!
The shoe/bike matchy match game is STRONG! Much enve😜
❤
I got the Grizl 8 and I am super happy with it. Just finished my first 4 day trip with the bike and could not be more happy.
Super cool video. It makes me want to ride with you guys!
I'm a road bike person, but I just got this bike. I took it for its first ride today, and I dig it. I don't hate the saddle, but I did regret forgetting my gloves- my hands wanted more padding.
I have the same bike just smaller and it came with the grx810 rear derailleur and grx600 everywhere else. Love this bike! 👍🏽
This has the 810 derailleur. The default GRX600 groupset build has 600 shifters and crank, 400 brakes, and 800 derailleurs.
I have the Canyon Grizl (Carbon Fiber) since it came out. Absolute love it.
I have this bike in green and I love it. Mine came with a WTB saddle, and I switched the carbon seat post to a Tranz X suspension seat post.
I have this pink beauty and I love it. Ive been a die hard enduro rider for ever, and bought this bike to dip my toes into gravel riding. What a BA machine! I did 30 miles my first ride on it because it was so fun and zoomy haha.
WHY DOES THIS GUY ONLY HAVE LIKE 100k SUB??!?! subbed!
🤜❤️🤛
Man, the video is so awesome and you deserve more views. I can't wait to receive the Grizl 8 1by EKAR. I have already a MTB grand Canyon CF SL 6.9 and a CF SF carbon.. and they are greaaaaat.
Ohh man Im stoked for your Ekar Grizl thats going to so much fun!
Great vid once again Dustin! I have the Grizl CF SL 7 eTap since late 2021. Now gone full Xplr mode with dropper and Rudy fork and it’s one hell of a mountain machine but a load more fun than those ‘official’ mountain machine bicycles. Plus there ain’t no mountains on the South Coast UK 🤦🏻♂️ Don bike tho 😂
Lovin’ the channel!
Appreciate you Dana!
I got a Canyon Grizl CF 7 Rival AXS last year and it has been my everything bike. It's tremendous off-road and yet with a spare set of wheels running Panaracer 622-40 slicks it hoons along on road rides fast enough. Can't fault it - as for the mudguards/fenders I got them when I ordered the bike but they're the same as the Grail:ON set
Have had a Grail for nearly three years - LOVE IT! Got it just before the Grizl was announced. Going back to Koblenz in a couple weeks to try one for my wife.
changed the saddle of my grizl at once to a wtb gravelier. great.
I have a Canyon XC MTB...the Exceed CF SL. Love it!
I have an Endurace 7 and I love it. And I completely agree with you about the saddle. I have the same one and it’s too grippy to the point where I almost fell over because I waited a little too late to get off when I came to a stop. I’m going to get myself a Fizik Argo Tempo R3. Which saddle will you replace with?
Canyon Ultimate owner since 2020 and love it. My only complaint would be the 1 1/4” steerer tube width which makes the inevitable post purchase stem customization a pain
I got the Grizl 7 AL with Rock Shox suspension. I Love everything about it besides the saddle it came with. Got Fizik Terra Argo instead.
hi ! Thanks for th evideo and the review of the bike. Do you have your patagonia jacket reference please ? Would love to get one, it's really nice!
I ride with he Grizl CF SL 7 eTap, its a great bike. It's been my first direct to consumer bike, had some minor issues with the seat clamp but canyon sorted out right away. I also appreciate canyon offering a true XXL frame that fits taller riders.
An XXL?! How tall are you? Usually ride MTBs but looking at the Grizl and at 5'11" canyon is saying small frame?!
I got 2 Canyon’s, road and gravel, absolutely love it.
You should do a review on the Poseidon x bike
The was fun to watch! :)
Bought a Grail Al at the beginning of covid. Bought the Canyon fenders - they come with the proper bolts for those lil holes - they are great!!
I was looking for those on the website and it only showed fenders for the Grail. So I didn’t know if the grizzle Ashley had its own fenders. Now I know and thank you.
Grizl fenders have been out of stock forever :(
Agreed, I have the 2020 Grail and while I wish there were more options for fenders, the Canyon ones are solid.
Great videos. Very entertaining. Well done.
Thank you very much!
Omg im so jealous about that beautiful place wow that’s a hell of a ride 😮, that’s amazing
I love, love,love canyon. Have an endurace di2 and grand canyon hardtail. If you know what you want without trying out bikes there is no better option. Their fit guide is spot on.
The only thing weird is the geo and sizing on the Canyon Grizl.
But I'd also hardly call it an "entry level" aluminum @ just under $2k. It's an entry level in their lineup, but hardly entry level in the market.
The 700x50 Aggregates are great tires. I have a set of those along with 700x50 Kimberlites, also fantastic!
They both roll along smooth and quiet, and they're very durable/reliable. In 2yrs I've never got a puncture with either set!
Добрий день.
Який у вас зріст та який розмір рами обрали.
Зарання дякую❤
great video!
You shoud do a video about sun care. I also ordered the sunblock that you recommended. Hopefully it doesn't blind me when I'm riding (like the others)
Amazing video Dustin. Im in the Netherlands and riding a Grizl SL 7 for gravel. Curry yellow ofcourse. Love the bike and with 2.3k euro is bang for buck. GRX 600/800 mix and carbon. It rips!
I have a Canyon Endurace CF8 LTD. Love it! Definitely looking at a Grizl.
Have one the same Colour, grx also 2x front. But the frame finish It’s smooth, you can’t see the welding in the frame. Mine’s last year model.
have a very similar grizl AL, same colour, but with the double chainrings. I love it, as you noticed too I changed the saddle with a Prologo but for the rest it's 100% stock and works great. Best money ever spent on a bike.
I just ordered Grizl 7 AL with a suspension fork, 2by (matcha). Was "forced" due to out of stock of the other one with rigid fork, because who knows when it will be available again. Didn't want to wait and hope. Paid extra 200 Euro. Hope I made a right choice! Can't wait to try it!
I have a top spec Spectral 27.5 from the year before they made the 29. (Fox 36 Factory, XTR, DT XMC 1200)
It’s okay but I do at times feel like it’s a lot of nice parts hanging off a less than ideal frame. It doesn’t feel like the geo was all the way thought out - I had to slam the stem and find a negative rise one (they enduro team at the time was all doing the same) because the head tube is super long. The seat tube is also really long and my brother who’s about 2.5” shorter than me can nearly use a 150mm dropper in it (slammed). The external/internal hybrid cable management thing seemed cool before I got it but in practice feels cheap as the whole downtube is shrouded in black plastic. Feels like just a cost saving measure as it’s not really any easier to service.
Bought the grail cfsl8 2 months ago. Loved the ride, especially the 2 peice seatpost, but sent it back because I could not dig the pastel yellow and black. Extremely easy return process. Wish I had this review before, I was worried the grizl would be sluggish on the road.
I almost bought a Canyon a few years ago. I still love my Chumba Terlingua, steel. Ordered it straight from Chumba, had it together in under an hour.
Canyon still interests me.
Looks like a great feature full package!
I had a Canyon Grizl CFSL8 last season. The vibrations were violent, I sold it and bought a fairlight faran.
Thanks for video,.....waiting for the Grizl CF SLX 8 eTap Suspension in XL to hit he market, these bikes are the best value going right now.....
man! what beautifull surroundings you have to bike. I live in the Netherlands and am so jealous of you riding possibilities! Oh and love the grizl 2 . I have had a Canyon MTB (Nerve) and have a Canyon Ultimate race bike. I absolutely love the brand and their bikes. Great value!
I have the Grail 7 Al. Love it.
I love these budget bike reviews! Please do a Salsa Journeyer next, prove it can be a budget Cutthroat!
Thanks for the entertaining review! I have the same bike... I suppose european version is different. I have 2x cranks. Agree with the both of you observations: the saddle is crap (already changed it) and the feel of the ride with tubeless is just super for the money.
I have the same saddle on my Giant Revolt Gravel bike, and it is indeed very grippie! But it get's less over time, but sliding is still not possible. And about fenders: canyon sells custom grizzl fenders!
Hello!
I have 2 canyon bikes, road and gravel….love them, for the money I have a lot
I have one of the first gravel models in aluminum Inflate, love it I went through a different terrain and always responded good.
The big plus is that Canyon and Shimano has support for their products at the Unbound Gravel race. I'm not sure about other gravel races.
