Ergonomic evolution

For long days on gravel roads your contact points have to be on point and the new Double Drop Bar delivers the perfect mix of ergonomic and aggressive riding positions thanks to in-depth testing and collaboration with our pro riders. The aero-optimised bar is easy to travel with thanks to semi-internal cable routing.

Suspension fork: smooth out the bumpy stuff

When you hit the roughest sections of your next gravel ride or race, some extra suspension will keep your speed up. With 40mm of fork travel, you can glide over the bumps, absorb the vibrations and focus on the win.

Open or locked- you’re the boss

Accessible from any hand position and seamlessly integrated into the Grail’s cockpit, the PUSHCONTROL remote lockout lets you quickly select suspension or a rigid fork. Ideal for race scenarios, find the handling you need for the terrain you're riding.

Get in the groove

From pushing to finish the race before sunset to big days out exploring with friends, gravel riding comes in many forms and the best bike can adapt to however you want to ride. The Gear Groove on the Grail’s new Double Drop Bar allows you to elegantly integrate aero bars as well as smartphone, bike computer and light mounts to the handlebars.

Locked and loaded storage

The Canyon LOAD FidLock QuickLoader bag fits seamlessly into the frame and was made specially for the Grail. You can easily attach and remove it using a special magnetic clip system, and when removing the bag you can also access the Grail's down tube storage. This unique design lets you securely stash an inner tube*, levers*, and inflator* in a special noise-dampening pouch*, while your mini tool (included) and pump* lock into an easy-to-access hatch within the down tube.

Loaded and locked

The Canyon LOAD FidLock QuickLoader bag* was made specially for the Grail and can be easily attached and removed using a special magnetic clip system. The bag fits seamlessly into the frame and even improves aerodynamics by 1.5 watts in the wind tunnel. *Parts sold separately
