Hello,
I’m looking to buy my first bike for commuting five times a week, covering a 40km round trip.
I was thinking of the Grizl for my journeys in town and the nearby suburbs, as well as for weekend rides in the countryside.
What do you think of the Grizl 5 with Shimano Cues for daily use, i.e. 200km a week? Is it reliable?
Is the GRX worth considering and does it offer any added value for commuting compared to the Cues?

Finally, is a carbon frame worth it or not? I’m thinking of the Grizl CF 6. Is it worth the investment in the long run?

Thank you for your feedback. ☺️

I’m about to buy my first gravel bike, mainly for commuting five days a week on a 40km round trip.
My route is mostly on flat tarmac, but I’d like to use it at the weekend on gravel tracks and in the woods (I live in Bordeaux).
I’ve spotted the Canyon Grizl 5 , do you think it’s suitable? Is the Shimano Cues reliable for daily use?
Or should I opt for a carbon frame for greater comfort and to reduce the bike’s weight, making my commute easier? In that case, I’m looking at the Grizl CF 6.
I’d like to make a long-term purchase and keep it for at least 5 years. Thanks! 🙏
