Background: I own an Endurace CF SL 8 and a Grizl AL 6 that is too big for me. I wanted to sell both and buy the Grail CF SLX as a 1 bike solution, however my size and colorway sold out.
So now, I am considering keeping the Endurace for all things road and replacing my Grizl in XL for an L.
This bike: https://www.canyon.com/de-ch/gravel-bikes/adventure/grizl/cf-sl/grizl-cf-sl-8-1by/3697.html?dwvar_3697_pv_rahmenfarbe=R095_P10
The reason I wanted the Grail is because I don't do serious road group rides where speed is king. Either with friends who don't care about speed or solo. One thing I never liked about road biking is that I can't get off the roads. Sometimes, you come across that gravel road you want to explore and the feeling that you can't always rubbed me wrong.
Anyways, my questions:
- Grizl frame may be due for an update (in frame storage would be my bet). Wait or pull trigger?
- GRX 1by 12speed: Covers all bases for Switzerland? Or is 2by the way?
I welcome all opinions, thank you for your input!
