Last year I spent several months test riding and massively enjoying getting out and about on the non-electric version of the Canyon Grizl CF gravel bike, which I absolutely loved (and absolutely hated giving back), so I was very excited to get in the saddle of the e-powered Grizl:ON. On paper, this bike offered everything I’d liked about the purely pedal-powered Grizl, but with some extra assistance when I wanted it.
There has been lots of debate about the use of the best electric bikes on- and off-road over recent years, as the popularity of these steeds has grown enormously across every style of cycling, but I think everyone is pretty well convinced now that the rapid evolution of technology that’s delivering ever-lighter and more sophisticated battery powered motors for bikes is a good thing, offering all kinds of riders extra options to go further and explore more.
