We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.

It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.

If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

Summary of Reviews

We have read all expert and user reviews on the Canyon Grizl:ONfly. In summary, this is what cyclists think.

12 reasons to buy

  • Canyon's Grizl:ONfly is available in two builds: CF 7 (1x11 Shimano mechanical, alloy wheels), and CF 9 (1x12 SRAM AXS, carbon wheels).
  • In range testing, the Grizl:ONfly lasts up to 44 miles on mountainous terrain and 60 miles on flatter terrain.
  • Testers enjoy this bike’s balanced and confident feel when descending fire roads.
  • Experts adore the comfortable upright riding position.
  • Testers agree this bike is capable on the road, and excels on everything from technical terrain to muddy trails.
  • Reviewers praise the Grizl:ONfly's predictable handling when descending through rough tracks, enhanced further on the CF 9 by its stiff carbon wheels.
  • An expert praises the fast, smooth action of the CF 9’s RockShox Rudy Ultimate XPLR 40mm fork.
  • The Bosch Flow app makes it easy to tune the power delivery.
  • This bike has integrated lighting, with an StVZO-compliant Lupine headlight and rear lights built into the seatstays.
  • The frame has clearance for 50mm tires (45mm with fenders installed).
  • Reviewers relish the off-road grip of the 45mm Schwalbe G-One Bite tires.
  • The suspension fork and carbon seatpost absorb the worst vibrations, according to experts.

5 reasons not to buy

  • Some testers dislike the basic top tube-integrated controls, saying the optional bar-mounted control unit should be included at this price.
  • Riding at full power rapidly drains the 11.1Ah battery.
  • The long cranks (170-175mm) increase the risk of pedal strikes.
  • The suspension fork dulls handling compared to gravel bikes with rigid forks.
  • The top tube lacks bento-bag mounts.

Bottom line

Reviews are of the EU's 15.5mph Grizl:ON, not the USA's 28mph Grizl:ONfly. For anyone seeking an electric all-rounder for everything from commuting and bikepacking to enjoying near-MTB levels of off-road prowess, the Grizl:ONfly is likely unrivalled. Buyers with deeper pockets should enjoy the CF 9's wireless drivetrain and carbon wheels, but in CF 7 form, the Grizl:ONfly seems to offer great value as a versatile and comfortable way to cover big miles everywhere from downtown to rural trails and far-flung adventures.
