I have been in the market for a Grizl, landed on the Grizl CF SLX 8 Di2 from the outlet because it's the only 2by option + Di2 + better wheels, but right before I pulled the trigger I noticed that the stack height was far shorter than every other model:
Grizl CF SLX 8 Di2 (size XS) stack: 537, reach:385
compare to:
Grizl CF 6 (size XS) stack: 559, reach: 380
Grizl CF 8 ESC w/ ECLIPS (size XS) stack : 559, reach 380
Even Grail the equivalent Grail, which is supposed to be Canyon's race-oriented model has a way higher stack height:
Grail CF SLX 8 Di2 RS (size XS) stack height: 556, reach 385
Why on earth is the stack height on the Grizl CF SLX 8 so much lower than every other Grizl and Grail? Am I missing something?
I was interested in the Grizl because I wanted a more comfortable, upright gravel bike for longer rides, but these numbers seem awfully aggressive. FWIW, the Canyon size calculator says I should fit an XS and normally I ride a Specialized Roubaix SL8 in size 52.

Use the messaging function on the Canyon website for this, I doubt people here will know.
The reason is because the stack height is directly proportional to the…

You’re comparing the old and new Grizl frames. Canyon said they’ve made the newer frame more upright. As for the Grail, you need to account for the components as well, to assess the real reach and stack to the hoods, to truly compare the rider position.
