I tried calling Canyon but so far no luck getting someone to pick up the phone.
Just noticed that the new SLX has integrated headset routing.
I’m assuming the frame specs are the same for the CF and the AL regarding measurements and that they are using the same carbon fork for the Grizl CF and the AL.
Any thoughts ? Would love to be able to fully integrate my Grizl AL.
All the best !

No, the fork is different to allow the hose to come out of the steerer tube.
UPDATE : just had a rep on the phone, not possible, BUT he informed me that a fully integrated Grizl AL IS in the works, but he couldn’t give any more info at this stage. We shall see !

All due respect, and as owner of a Grail SLX, the benefits of internal cables on a gravel bike are highly overrated and honestly just marginal even on a aero road bike at speed. And since you’re referring to an AL model, can I assume scratching out every ounce of performance isn’t you primary goal? Low price and versatility are what’s important here and internal cables should be at the bottom of your nice-to-have list
