That unique bar, called the CP20, flexes to absorb vibration while the lower section stays rigid for confident sprinting and out of the saddle efforts. It was controversial but it works. Canyon has since introduced a more conventional handlebar option alongside the original design, which makes the Grail accessible to riders who found the double bar too unusual. The frame itself is a proper gravel machine with clearance for up to 50mm tyres, mounting points for bikepacking, and geometry that splits the difference between stable off road handling and on road efficiency. The Grail has found a strong following in the UK gravel scene, and used examples are increasingly common as the initial wave of gravel converts upgrade or adjust their setups. Prices are competitive, especially compared to the Specialized Diverge and Trek Checkpoint. ## What it's like to ride With the original CP20 handlebar, the Grail rides unlike any other gravel bike. The flex in the upper bar section noticeably reduces hand fatigue on rough surfaces, and the lower section gives you a solid platform for road riding. If you have not tried it, reserve judgement until you do. With a conventional bar, the Grail rides like a well mannered gravel bike. Stable on loose surfaces, responsive enough for road use, and composed over washboard gravel tracks. The wide tyre clearance means you can run genuinely chunky rubber for proper off road riding. The geometry is slightly more aggressive than some gravel bikes, which makes it faster on tarmac but a touch less relaxed on very long off road days. ## Who it's for Gravel riders and bikepackers who want Canyon's value proposition off road. Road cyclists looking to explore bridleways and gravel tracks. Mixed terrain commuters. Adventure riders planning multi day trips. Anyone curious about gravel who wants to get a lot of bike for the money. ## Good points - well designed CP20 handlebar genuinely reduces vibration on rough terrain - Excellent value compared to rival gravel bikes at equivalent spec - Up to 50mm tyre clearance for serious off road capability - Multiple mounting points for bikepacking bags and bottles - Available with conventional handlebars if the CP20 is not for you ## Considerations - The CP20 handlebar divides opinion and feels unusual at first - No dealer network means no test rides of the unique bar setup - Canyon sizing needs careful checking without a test ride available - Heavier than a dedicated road bike if you plan to spend most time on tarmac ## Year guide The second generation Grail (2022 onwards) brought a refined frame with better clearances and an updated CP20 bar. These are the ones to look for. The first generation (2018 to 2021) is still a good bike but the CP20 had some early production issues that were addressed. Make sure any first gen CP20 has been checked or replaced. A 2022 CF SL 7 is the value buy. ## FAQs ### Is the double handlebar actually good? Most riders who try it for more than one ride end up liking it. The vibration damping is real and noticeable on long gravel rides. It looks strange but the engineering is sound. If you are still unsure, Canyon now offers the Grail with conventional bars so you have options. ### How does the Grail compare to the Specialized Diverge? The Diverge has Future Shock suspension for comfort and a strong dealer network. The Grail is cheaper at equivalent spec and has the unique CP20 bar option. Both are excellent gravel bikes. The Diverge is better supported. The Grail is better value. ### Can I ride the Grail on the road? Absolutely. With 32mm or 35mm slick tyres the Grail is a perfectly capable road bike. It will be slightly heavier and more relaxed than a dedicated road machine but for mixed rides, commuting, and solo road rides it works well. ## Buying tips - Decide whether you want the CP20 or conventional handlebar before buying. Switching between them is possible but costs around £150 to £250 - Check the CP20 bar for cracks or stress marks at the flex points. This is the part of the bike that takes the most strain - The CF SL 7 is the sweet spot in the range. Shimano GRX groupset is purpose built for gravel and works brilliantly - Look at the bottom bracket area for signs of water and grit ingress. Gravel bikes work harder in dirty conditions - Ask about tyre sizes. The stock tyres on some models are road biased. Budget for proper gravel tyres if needed ## Live data - **Browse listings:** https://www.cyclesite.co.uk/bike-brands/canyon/grail - **Sold prices:** https://www.cyclesite.co.uk/sold-bike-prices/canyon/grail - **Get a valuation:** https://www.cyclesite.co.uk/value/canyon/grail - **Programmatic search (MCP):** https://api.cyclesite.co.uk/api/mcp/search?brand=Canyon&model=Grail - **Valuation (MCP):** https://api.cyclesite.co.uk/api/mcp/valuation?brand=Canyon&model=Grail --- Source: [https://www.cyclesite.co.uk/bike-brands/canyon/grail](https://www.cyclesite.co.uk/bike-brands/canyon/grail) Cite as: Cyclesite (cyclesite.co.uk), accessed 2026-09-20.
