After previously posting about looking into getting either a Canyon Roadlite or a Canyon Pathlite, I’ve gone down a bit of a rabbit hole and I have finally decided that I was going to stretch a bit more and get a Canyon Grizl.
Looking at what is available in my size in the UK, it’s pretty much these two:
Grizl CF SL 6 AXS
[https://www.canyon.com/en-gb/gravel-bikes/adventure/grizl/cf-sl/grizl-cf-sl-6-axs/3696.html?dwvar\_3696\_pv\_rahmenfarbe=R095\_P11](https://www.canyon.com/en-gb/gravel-bikes/adventure/grizl/cf-sl/grizl-cf-sl-6-axs/3696.html?dwvar_3696_pv_rahmenfarbe=R095_P11)
£2399 in the UK
Or
Grizl CF SL 8 1by Ekar
[https://www.canyon.com/en-gb/gravel-bikes/adventure/grizl/cf-sl/grizl-cf-sl-8-1by-ekar/3471.html?dwvar\_3471\_pv\_rahmenfarbe=R095\_P08](https://www.canyon.com/en-gb/gravel-bikes/adventure/grizl/cf-sl/grizl-cf-sl-8-1by-ekar/3471.html?dwvar_3471_pv_rahmenfarbe=R095_P08)
Currently reduced from £3199 to £2699 in the UK.
They seem to have very similar specifications when compared. Is it worth the extra £300 to get the 8 with the Ekar groups, or is the SRAM AXS electronic groups better?
TIA
