- Nice to see you here again!
In todays video I share my thoughts on why I don't need all the racy features of the great Canyon Aeroad, and how I want to spend the extra money on experiences to bring you guys better content!
And also let me know if you guys think that the Canyon Grizl can function as a Road bike aka All road bike?
- What upgrades would you make to the Canyon Grizl?

Nice video, beautifull Quality! Cant wait for another one!
Thanks buddy, it means a lot! 🙌
I’ll do my best to keep ‘em coming ;))
Dude, I leave a like and subscribe. This video was awesome and I'm lucky to found it. It was a joy to watch and your mustache looks great man.
I ordered the Grizl with the campangnolo ekar now it has a discount on it (at least in Germany) and now I'm really looking forward into it. I'm a bit afraid I got the same problem as you 😂. Keep going, greetings from Germany
Haha thank you so much man!
I hope you will get a lot of great experiences on the bike.
Is it your first Gravel Bike? 😃
@@tobiasTbager thx man, yeah it will be my first gravel bike besides my Hardtail and a really nice Roadbike
Oh wow that’s sounds amazing!
Total gear junkie here and I’ve had 5 bikes in the last 2-3 years . Road bikes and gravel bikes. I finally landed on the specialized crux expert and I’m very happy with the bike!! I’m currently running 35mm sworks mondo tires .
I also have the new super six evo and a grizl. I decided to put the super six for sale and I’m planning on making the grizl an everyday flat bar gravel bike for fun
Haha great! I also really think that the Grizl would be a GREAT commuter/fun bike.
I’m currently on Mallorca riding my Specialized Crux with 30 mm GP 5000 and it’s awesome! Such a versatile bike 🙌
Great quality video and enjoy following your adventure... I am on sideline between Aeroad and Grizl as well... I am very torn because I have a Cannondale Super X Cross bike that converted over to gravel but really like the Grizl. So hard to decide, wish I had $ to buy both :)
Thanks buddy!
Yeah that’s a tough one 😅
Nice review, thanks! Btw, cool chill background music, may I ask trackid? 🚴♀️
Thanks! Accordingly to my shazam app the song is called Round and Round by T. Bless
For me the gravel bike is only for bad weather and the colder months but also there I mostly prefer to ride via Zwift… would miss the Sport factor in the summer, just to be fast, aggressive and competitive while a gravel ride is more chill to me, there I also ride without powermeter because I know that I would ride more for fun than for training
I totally get that!
The position is probably also the biggest downside in the Grizl if you want to sit aggressive and be racy.
However most of the races I tend to participate in are longer gravel races. So for it was just a matter of prioritizing the type of riding I like the most.
Would love to have both a gravel and a road bike at some point again :))
Basement child lol
Nice video! Just ordered my CF SL 7 eTap and was wondering the same. Not doing any racing, mainly group rides with friends so I think it'll hold up. Also what bike computer mount you're using? Looks really neat.
Thanks a lot man! Hope you get to have a lot of fun on the bike with your friends.
I use the Hide my bell raceday direct mount. Super convenient to have a bell when riding through Copenhagen everyday 🙌
I love riding my Grizl on the road to get to gravel. Ive been beating times set on my road bike with it. Granted, I don't have an Aeroad for my road rig haha. It's all in the legs.
Haha that sounds great man - love it!
nice yeah, I got a Grizl too, but what bike is your friend riding in the video? That looks nice
Cool!
He is riding the Specialized Crux
ah yes! what do you think of Cruz vs Grizl? Doesn't have the mount points I can see right away@@tobiasTbager
Funny..you ride so happy a Crux and talk about the Grizl. :-)...Actually I am between both candidates ..the Crux Comp and Grizl CF... and don't know which one is the best for me to do both road/grvcl. I am coming from an old racy cx. What do you mean? Cheers from Kiel..I love your places in DK...(like and subscribed it)..
Thanks buddy!
I’m actually riding a Grizl at this point. My brother is on the Crux.
In my opinion the crux is a far better do it all bike for various reasons. However the grizl is a phenomenal gravel bike that also can be used on the road
nice video, I have the grizl 6 with 2 sets of wheels, road and gravel.
I have two bikes in one
Thanks!
How cool!?!
Are you running a 2x setup or 1x?
@@tobiasTbager I'm running 1X
What size chainring - the 40 tooth?
@@tobiasTbager 40 tooth
I sent you a picture the bike on IG
Ever since I bought a bike that can take bigger tires I have not touched my old Trek Madone with 25mm tires. I'm very much considering the Grizl has my all rounder bike. Maybe with an extra set of wheels with some 32mm slicks. Most of my rides are road to gravel and maybe a bit of single track. Think the Grizl is good for all that or should I got Grail and be "limited" to 42 mm tires?
Personally I think I would go for the Grizl as it has the clearance for 50 mm and is a bit more classic looking.
Although I will say that if the grail had a normal handlebar I would probably be more inclined to recommend that. Love the internal storage!
@@tobiasTbager I'm torn. The new Grail has a "normal" handle bar, but I wish it would at least take 45mm tire.
@@scottamy404 Hah yeah I guess compared to the old Grail you would call it "Normal" but to me it's nothing like a standard handlebar.
I do not like the size offerrings and that it has to be their one piece handlebar nor do I like the backwards sweep the tops have.
@@tobiasTbager so you find the handle bar on the new Grail weird as well? I'm so torn on my new bike hunt after I had to return my Lauf for warranty reasons.
@scottamy404 Hmm maybe not that weird, I just think it’s a shame that you can’t choose the width and change out the stem length easy. You know typical problems with an integrated cockpit.
If it fits you probably no worry :)
Just like the simplicity of the grizl that’s all
Hvad er det for nogle dunke? Ret fedt at de matcher stellet
Jeg mener de hedder “Specialized Purist 750 ml”
I think having both if great if you can afford it and have room to store both. But some gravel bike’s geometry make them virtually indistinguishable from road bikes accept the tire clearance.
I agree very much!
Do you have a road bike and a gravel bike or just one?
@@tobiasTbager
Just a gravel bike right now and it’s more touring oriented.
@@Daniel-yf9iy Sounds cool! What bike is it?
@@tobiasTbager
It’s a 2022 Kona Rove DL. VERY smooth and comfortable to ride, surprisingly fast too with 650b and 47mm Maxis “Receptor” road/packed dirt tires.
If you want a more aggressive position, get a Crux and two wheel sets: done! Otherwise, why not be chilled on the Grizl?
The crux is such a cool bike for racing! However with my economy at the moment as a student I just get so much more bike for the money at Canyon. So that’s basically why I want to make the Grizl just a bit more aggressive.
But I also don’t want to make it too aggressive as I still really enjoy bike packing and stuff like that where speed is not my main concern 😃
@@tobiasTbager I get it. The Crux is not cheap. I sold two bikes to finance it. And, if you want to still go packing, it won't serve the purpose.
Bang for buck, Canyon almost always wins. And, their frames are well made.
@@marcowalther7867 Thats so cool! Do you have two wheelsets for it? And what groupset did you get?
I very much agree with your point :D
@@tobiasTbager Yeah, two wheel sets: one with Conti 28 and one with Rene Herse 42. I run a mix of Sram Xplr: Rival Shifters, Force derailleur and cassette and Red cranks to save some weight.
@@marcowalther7867 Cool! Is it the slick tires from Rene Herse? I have been wanting to try them out for a while now :D
And how do you like the 1x setup when doing road rides?
Got my completely new Canyon Endurance friday, rode for 30 minutes and broke the pedals and pedal arms
10-14 days wait time for new components due too shortage😭
#FirstRoadBikeExperience😅
No way man!
How the hell did that happen? 😅
@@tobiasTbagerI Think the pedal arms were not tighten enough and then when I stood up on Col de Kalvebod the pedals bent down and messed up the pedal arms😬
Oh wow that sucks. I hope that the parts gets shipped faster miraculously 🙏
@@tobiasTbager Thanks🙌🏼
Great content btw🔥
@@MortenCharlie Thanks a lot man!
I hope that you get to collect some awesome memories on your bike!
Get 25 mm road bike tires, you got yourself a roadbike. You'll have to voluntarily take a more aggressive riding position, I have achieved this by tweaking with the height of my seatpost and the positioning of the seat. But, I guess all this is known to everyone. 😂
Yeah I have been thinking about that. But I’m a bit imitated by the clearance for the front chainring. At the moment Canyon says that it is able to fit a 42 and maybe a 44 t chainring 😅
And for the position the stem is slammed at the moment. But I might invest in a longer stem and a narrower handlebar 😃
@@tobiasTbagerYeah, agree with the stem change. But the 42 or 44t chainring might need tinkering (or replacement) with the front and rear derailleur. It would also be a tad expensive or some extra work. On the other hand, you need a bigger chainring or the road bike peloton will drop you.
But yeah riding a gravel bike on the road with gravel tires is no fun.
All the best, look forward to the video of the conversion.
@@SanJuan39 Yeah true. But to be for real I might even need that 44t chainring just to hang in gravel races at the moment :D
But yeah its of course all a compromise.
Thanks for following the vids man, I just enjoy making this stuff. But it sure damn motivates me to engage in conversations like this in the comments!
@@tobiasTbager Yeah, I saw the gravel paths in your videos, they are very well maintained. One can surely race at full throttle on these roads, I understand the need for the 44t chainrings.
Also, the asphalt roads that you're riding on in some of your videos look well-maintained to the point of being beautiful- says a lot about the biking culture of your country. You must show it to the world!
You are making nice content, with which many common people (non-pros) can also relate to, reminds me of the Rose Bikes Cycle Stories ads.
I am just here to learn. I will watch more of your videos when I get time. Thanks for your reply. 👍👍
Yeah the infrastructure in Copenhagen is top notch 🙌
Thanks you so much for the kind words man!
