Created with everyday practicality and exploration in mind, the new Canyon Grizl:ON is positioned as an e-bike that promotes active riding and adventuring.
The bike’s features include Canyon x Lupine Sight Stays lights, a Canyon VCLS seat post and a Fidlock Quick Loader bag, as well as optional fenders and 40mm of front suspension for increased off-road capability.
The Grizl:ON’s adventure-ready frame is amplified by the compact Bosch SX drive unit housed in a lightweight carbon frame. At 2kg, the mid-assist Bosch SX system is lighter than the company’s CX version and promotes human-powered active riding rather than a full-power e-bike experience.
The smaller motor makes for more responsive handling and lighter overall weight. And with 55Nm of torque available, the Bosch SX motor offers light assistance and high torque, providing its peak power with a high cadence riding style.
With a 400 Wh battery plus 250 Wh Range Extender option (making 650 Wh total battery possible) there should be plenty in the tank for the long days in the saddle. For added peace of mind, the Bosch Flow App and Connectivity Module brings a two-stage alarm and effective location tracking should the bike end up in the wrong hands.
Another innovative feature of the new Grizl:ON is the lighting system. At the rear is the Canyon x Lupine SightStays system which sees two built-in highly visible rear lights sitting neatly within the contours of the rear side of the seat stays. This providing visibility from multiple angles even when riding with panniers.
Up front a bright Lupine Nano SL headlight illuminates on-road or off-road paths with an on-bar remote, mounted on the new gravel-optimised HB0064 flared handlebar to control the beam setting. Cable spaghetti is avoided with a reworked Nano SL housing matching neatly with the frame’s cable exit port. All lights are powered by the main battery and will run for two hours even after the motor runs out of juice.
The S14 VCLS 2.0 comfort seatpost exploits the material properties of carbon with a lightweight leaf spring construction. The S14 VCLS 2.0 with +2 to -10 mm setback also helps to take the edge off harsh surfaces.
The S14 VCLS 2.0 features across all GRIZL:ON models, apart from the more progressively-spec’d GRIZL:ON CF TRAIL, which benefits from a wireless RockShox Reverb AXS XPLR dropper post with 75 mm drop.
The GRIZL:ON comes with a healthy dose of control thanks to a new gravel optimised 16° flared HB0064 BAR and short 60 mm ST0037 STEM along with a slackened 69.5° head tube angle. A 74° seat tube ensures climbing comfort and efficiency with a more laid-back riding position than its non-electrified stablemate for comfort on big days out.
The new ST0037 STEM comes with new out-front mounting options from the stem faceplate to hold a bike computer or phone further forwards.
With four carbon fibre models to choose from, the Grizl:ON CF has a build to suit a mix of tastes and budgets.
All Grizl:ON CF models come with RockShox Rudy suspension, DT Swiss wheels, Schwalbe tyres, Canyon HB0064 Ergo AL handlebars, and Fizik Argo Terra X5 saddles, plus the Canyon x Lupine SightStays system and Lupine Nano SL headlight with on-bar remote.
All Grizl:ON CF models are available in five sizes, from XS to XL, catering for riders from around 166 cm to 194 cm.
