Canyon Grizl 8 1BY Review for Gravel and Bikepacking

I bought a Canyon Grizl 8 1BY and this is my review.
I look at the bike packing and gravel capabilities of this bike.
I also show you how to order the bike, assemble the bike, and which accessories I bought.
I love this bike because of its versatility, and the components used are great.

Nice bike. Think my next gravel bike will be from Canyon unless I can find a good deal on a Cannondale Super Six Evo.

Hi. You talking alot about your bags. What about your bike? Comparing old bikes vs ne bike. Thank you and keep on going. 💪

[@BoostMountainbiking]

Hi! You're right. My previous bike was a 160mm full suspension, so I figured it wouldnt be fair to compare it to that bike. I have never owned a gravelbike before, so that would also be a fake comparison. Thats why i stuck to what I know: its a versatile bike, that handles great, love the brakes and the shifting is nice and crisp. If you have any specific questions let me know!

​​@@BoostMountainbiking Thank you for your answer. Don't know how this comment comes to your video. :D
I wrote it to another video, where it is not clear which bike it is....

[@BoostMountainbiking]

Haha makes a bit more sense now;) thnx!

Hi! Great review! What size of Canyon Midloader you bought? Thank you

[@BoostMountainbiking]

I bought the biggest size possible, which is only 2.5L. It looks great, because it's sleek and pretty stiff, but that does mean the room is limited. At the upside: because of the stiffness, you won't have problems hitting your knees.

[@ZlodeyMr]

Thank you for the video! Could you tell what is the size of the bike and midloader?

[@BoostMountainbiking]

The bike is the XL, the midloader is a 2.5L (biggest size possible) :)

Hello. How do you feel 1by is on normal road (tarmac) when you reach 40ish km/t. Do you feel that you then are ``missing`` som gear with 1 By?

[@BoostMountainbiking]

Not really, but I was already used to it on my mountainbike and I like it on the trails. I do notice it whenever I do a few rides on my Road bike and then switch to my gravelbike. If I were to buy a gravelbike again, I would opt for a 12speed, but a 1by for sure.

Thanks. I am looking at the grizl 6 1by. Which is 12 s. Thank you again for your reply
