    Canyon Grail:On vs. Specialized Turbo Creo SL Comp Carbon Evo

    Hi @All, to wrap things up - I went for the Turbo Creo SL Comp Carbon evo with that green-ish color. Looks great even with the Specialized fenders mounted. It's fun to ride and I'm happy I made this decision. Thanks a lot!

    Canyon Grail:On vs. Specialized Turbo Creo SL Comp Carbon Evo

    @Amoto65 : May I ask how tall you are? I sat on the L and M version and on both i had the feeling that I sat 2 tads too dynamic. Didn't want the kind shop owner to switch or turn the stem to allow a more upright position. 5'10" - that's my height by the way.

    Canyon Grail:On vs. Specialized Turbo Creo SL Comp Carbon Evo

    This is the closest info that I could find in the Specialized manual: "Batteries have undercharge and overcharge protection, so that they can be charged/discharged as needed".

    Canyon Grail:On vs. Specialized Turbo Creo SL Comp Carbon Evo

    Here's what the Specialized manual says about temperatures: "Only operate the battery between the temperature range of -20°C (-4°F) and +60°C (+140°F)" ... "Only charge the battery at an ambient temperature between 0°C and +45°C (+32°F and 113°F). If outside temperatures are too hot or too...

    Canyon Grail:On vs. Specialized Turbo Creo SL Comp Carbon Evo

    It seems to me that the Grail:On is more suited to rougher terrain. I mean 50mm tyres on road sounds like there's something odd. But you do get that additional "suspension". And don't get me wrong - I'll use it primarily for trips to work and back home where the trip contains 70% smooth road and...

    Canyon Grail:On vs. Specialized Turbo Creo SL Comp Carbon Evo

    Thanks for your replies! When I visited Canyon I tried literally EVERY Pedelec that was available (inkl. Pathlite:On and Precede:On). The Fazua enabled bikes were simply not as much fun IMHO. There was also that annoying clacking sound each time you re-start to actively push the pedals. This is...

    Canyon Grail:On vs. Specialized Turbo Creo SL Comp Carbon Evo

    Hi, I'm planning to leave my car @home more often and commute to work via pedelec (that I don't own yet...). The idea is to travel to work (around 12 km - one way) with as much assistance as needed to NOT arrive all sweaty. On my way home I'd like to reduce the motor assist so I have some sort...
