Hi 👋
Currently using Giant Defy Advanced 1 size S and looking for a gravel with more tire clearance to discover the hills around Buda side of Budapest. It will be a nice mix of road, easy and not so easy gravel, up/downhills, and with the chance to try some off road. I will try to avoid the heavy one 🙂
Budget is tight right now (<2.5K € with pedals and accessories).
I was looking for a basic Grizl Al but not many are available in Europe atm. the only available is the “Grizl 8 RAW Ekar 1by” which is the same price of the “Grizl CF SL 7” with carbon frame.
Here below their urls:

https://www.canyon.com/it-it/bici-gravel/adventure/grizl/cf-sl/grizl-cf-sl-7/3244.html?dwvar_3244_pv_rahmenfarbe=YE
The first one has better components; the CF SL one has carbon frame and mixed grx groupset.
Is there any expert who could advise me about the better choice between these two? What would you prioritize between components and frame?
Open to lister if you have any other model to suggest.
Thanks a lot
Damiano
