Kicking off with the Grail 7 1by. It features Shimano's new single chainring GRX drivetrain. Up front it gets a 40 tooth chainring and it's paired with an 11-42 cassette which results in a 381% gear range.
Then onto the Grail CF SLX 8. The pricier bike is graced with SRAMs' two by Force e-Tap AXS wide groupset. It will replace the SRAM one-by drivetrains features on several Grail CF SL and CF SLX bikes. They come with 46/33 rings at the front and a 10-36 cassette which provides a large range while keeping gaps between the gears small.
Also found on many of the new Grail models is a new saddle from Fizik in the form of the Argo. It's a shorter saddle and it's claimed to offer more comfort over long rides. It'll come on all CF SL and CF SLX bikes apart from the 7 and 7 WMN models.
In the range there will be 13 models with prices starting from £1,400, going up to £4,650 for the flagship, CF SLX eTap bike.
