Anyone paying close attention to the new Canyon Grizl adventure gravel bike specs might have noticed some first-ever Canyon-branded carbon wheels. They start with just a single GR 30 CF model, spec’ed on a couple of the new Grizl builds. But the wheels are also available separately, and recent Canyon bike buyers can upgrade for a limited time at a discount. Plus, Canyon tells us to keep our eyes peeled, as more disciplines will get their own Canyon carbon wheels in the future…

Affordable aftermarket Canyon carbon wheels

More and more bike brands create their own branded component and wheel offerings. It’s essentially a way to keep more of the profit internal vs. paying 3rd party component suppliers. But often also means that buyers can get more bang for their buck. That seems to be exactly what Canyon is doing here, still offering both entry-level alloy wheels and top-tier carbon wheelsets from supplier partner DT Swiss.

But now it the middle, Canyon-branded wheels provide a cheaper upgrade to carbon.
