As the “gravel bike for the masses,” the Grail AL is finally here in the States. At a mere $1799, this Shimano 105-equipped gravel bike is affordable and capable enough to generate a huge following. The only bummer is Canyon will have a tough time keeping these in stock. The upgraded Grail Al 7.0 SL features SRAM Rival 1x and is only a $100 upcharge.

A native of the Pacific Northwest, Jason quickly developed a love for the outdoors and a thing for mountains. That infatuation continues as he founded this site in 1999 -- sharing his love of road biking, mountain biking, trail running and skiing. With extreme attention to detail, he has been a technical product manager for top 10 web properties, eCommerce businesses and SaaS companies for 20+ years. The combination of outdoor experience and technical savvy gives him a unique perspective that is channeled into every gear review. Utah's Wasatch Mountains are his playground. He rigorously tests every product and usually uses them beyond their intended purpose -- just for the sake of testing. (Note: Jason receives sample products in exchange for authentic reviews. He is not paid, nor influenced to share anything other than his honest opinions.)
