The new Canyon GC looks like it could be a great affordable option for Bikepacking.
Purchasing the entry level spec and upgrading fork and brakes would still make it a good price.
I just can’t get past the seat tube bottle mounts. They are real nipples. Seems like an after thought line they forgot to drill them and welded them on later.

following. I think for a bit more I’d rather a rangefinder or timberjack, but looking forward to hearing other thoughts.
Well apparently some models aren’t repairable outside of warranty so be weary of that. I wouldn’t buy a bike that uses proprietary parts if I were bikepacking since repairs are a pain if everything is custom sized.
