Hi everyone!,
I’m 23, living in Paris, and I’m planning to start bikepacking this spring. My ultimate goal is a long trip across Europe this July. I'm currently looking for my first bike to make a bikepacking setup.
Here are some details:
Height: 169 cm (5.54 ft)
Budget: 2000€ max
After some research, I’ve narrowed it down to these two bikes:
Canyon Grizl 7 AL
Giant Revolt 0
I’d love to hear your thoughts on which bike would be better for bikepacking and if there are better options

If you want to spend a bit less, you can get the Grizl 6. Same frame with all the same bikepacking features, but cheaper and the only difference is that the 6 is 10 speed while the 7 is 12 speed. Both are 30/46 in the front and 11/34 in the rear. The range is therefore the exact same, but there are two more gears towards the harder side of the cassette. For me, not really worth the 300€ extra. Especially since 10 speed isn’t bad in any way.
I do want to mention that the Grizl are very “racy” gravel bike. I haven’t ridden the Giant, but from the stack to reach ratio, it will put you in a more relaxed position than the Canyon.
