Hi all – canyon grail here. How can I move this piece in such a way that the saddle can be straight? By default on a canyon grail the saddle is not fully straight but the back of it is slightly downward. Thanks!

I have never adjusted canyon seat posts, but judging by this video it should be fairly straight forward.

I would install the saddle and put the bolt but loose, then try to adjust the angle by using the saddle to twist it. If it is stuck you might have to carefully pull both sides apart by tapping them to disengage the mechanism that keeps them at this angle.
I think you’ll need a different seat post. People do *cough* sometimes install the seat post backwards but looks silly
It should be straight forward as another user mentioned. Once saddle is on it should be easy to tilt. So follow that, but if it’s not new, it might have corroded, if so gently tap with a hammer see if it moves. Might need to use some spray to loosen it up. Clean and add grease.
There have been a few posts on /r/canyonbikes on this. It may just be hard to turn.
