The Canyon Grizl 5 is a versatile gravel bike that is characterised by its robust construction and high-quality equipment. With a price of EUR 1299, it offers excellent value for money. The frame of the Grizl 5 is made of aluminium, the Canyon Grizl AL to be precise, and contributes significantly to a total weight of 11.08 kg.

Braking power is provided by a combination of Shimano Sora R3000 brake levers and a Tektro lockring brake disc with a maximum diameter of 160 mm. The gears are also from Shimano and belong to the Sora R3000 GS series, including shifters and front derailleur. These components guarantee precise and reliable shifting.

The bike's fork is the Canyon FK0087 CF Disc, which provides additional stability. A reflector set is included for lighting, while the pedals are not included in the package and must be purchased separately. The bottom bracket is the FSA BB86 with alloy cups, and the crankset is an FSA Omega Mega Exo in the colour black with a length of 170 mm.

The handlebars, a Canyon HB0064 Ergo, and the matching handlebar tape, the Canyon Ergospeed Gel, offer comfort and control. The stem is the Canyon ST0035 with a clamping diameter of 31 mm and a handlebar width of 400 mm. The tyres are Continental Terra Trail ProTection SL in size 40-584, mounted on a Rodi Cyclone DB SH11 wheelset with a wheel size of 27"/630mm.
