2 years agoI love love love my Creo, but man, this bike is cool! Court, how loud would you say this is compared to the Creo? I would upgrade to the Kiox display for sure.

2 years agoHi Jack! I’d love to test the both side-by-side, but my gut feeling is that the Bosch Performance Line Speed motor on the Grail:ON is louder. It’s a lot more powerful on paper, and in person. I love the Specialized SL motors because they are so light, and impressively powerful, but Bosch takes the win on power, weight, and noise with their offering ;)

2 years agoGreat review and a very nice German carbon ebike for a great price imo. Question, is the display upgradeable to NYON? Also, your hard work to do this reviews, edit, etc… that should not be free! Ads and reputable reviews are worth a lot of $ for companies.

2 years agoHi Ebiker01! Great question… Yes, I feel pretty confident that the Bosch Purion display can be upgraded to Nyon. My friend owns a shop in Southern California and he has done this before. You would need to pay for the part and some service, but I think it’s possible. Perhaps you could contact a local Bosch ebike dealer to ask about ordering and installing :)
Yes, I appreciate your encouragement to get paid for the work done here. I do make some money from YouTube ads that automatically play, but I try to limit them to start and stop vs. the middle of videos because that’s annoying. I also make some money from shops that advertise their location here on our directory, and some bikes pay to be promoted. My goal is to keep the site clean and easy to use, not mislead people in any way. I want to be objective and balance the profit model with creating a nice space. Glad you enjoyed this review!

2 years agoI’ve spent considerable time riding both the Grail:On and the Creo Expert Evo. I would say they have different, but partially overlapping strengths. They’re both fantastic machines fully comfortable on both tarmac and dirt. The Creo is a lighter, more svelte, a more road-oriented bike. The motor’s integration with peddling is incredibly smooth, even at the middle setting it’s sometimes hard to tell if it’s on, though turn it off and then you realize it definitely was! Riding without any power is a joy. The full power is less than the the Grail, but still considerable at the highest setting. In more tricky dirt, the bike seems less stable, partly given the tires are thinner than the Grail. The Creo also does not look like an e-bike, and only the keen eye will notice what it is. Alternately, the Grail:On looks like a bike from the near future. While the battery is well integrated into the down tube, it clearly reads electric bike. It’s heavier than the Creo, but still feels relatively light and maneuverable. I also find the the sitting position and cockpit configuration very comfortable. The fatter tires make the ride a bit softer and significantly better on rougher dirt. The motor is a blast… almost like riding a motorcycle at higher levels, and is really fun on steep climbs. The motor is louder than on the Creo and is not as smooth on its power application. So, if you want a go anywhere at anytime bike, particularly if your focus is more off road, I think the Canyon is the better choice. If you want a beautifully engendered, state-of-the-art stealth e-bike that feels like a regular bike, the Creo is the better choice. In short, they’re both great but are targeted as slightly different use cases.

1 year agoI have a friend with the Creo Comp ($6k range not $9.5k), and it’s a beautiful bike. Rides very easy. I choose the Canyon Grail on cf8 for the options it offers for different riding possibilities, (came with peddles fyi, that I won’t use). First ride was 60.5 miles ended with 2 bars left on the battery. I kept it on eco thru out with a few steep inclines to test how long battery would last on a full charge. Bike is a medium I’m 5’8″ fits perfect. This bike comes with top 800 series GRX no skimping on parts. Great build quality. This my 3rd e-bike (I think I may have an addiction).
I would like to change display to Cobi or Nylon not sure what it will take or possible. If anyone knows how or if possible I would like to hear. Also is possible to put on 48 tooth front sprocket on the GRX?
