Grizl:ON CF Daily

This road-speed measure focuses on efficient pace on asphalt, where drag and rolling resistance matter most. In day-to-day use, it's more about stability and usefulness than feeling fast. The biggest contributors are a heavier build, very wide tires that create extra drag, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding.

Uphill performance score: 7.5/10. Within e-road bikes, this comes out above average. On climbs, the lowest gear feels very easy. That lowest gear comes out around 18.0 gear inches. For the low gear, it’s right at the easy end — easier than about ~98% of similar bikes. Think of “gear inches” like a difficulty score for your easiest gear: lower = more spin-friendly on climbs. At about 17.7 kg, it’s a heavy build; the low gear matters even more when the slope kicks up. E-assist can take the sting out of steep ramps, especially at lower speeds. Good for keeping cadence steady on climbs without overcooking it. Different builds can shift the feel a bit, and some manufacturer specs aren’t always publicly listed, so consider this a helpful direction.

On the gravel side of things, aero-wise, at 4.0/10, wind-cutting speed isn’t the main theme with comfort and composure as the trade-off. What that means on the road is: it’s more about stability and everyday comfort than cutting through the wind. Its gravel label helps explain the balance between speed, comfort, and versatility. The wheels are on the shallower side (around 25mm), so frame shapes and position likely matter more than wheel depth here. That wheel depth is more all-round than purely aero-focused. Tyres around 45mm are clearly aimed at comfort and control, and that usually adds some drag in the wind. That typically translates to easy, confidence-inspiring riding rather than chasing speed in the wind.

Balanced fit - a versatile position for long rides and faster efforts. This is mainly because the cockpit sits 85 mm below the saddle (a large drop), and the cockpit stretches you forward by ~572 mm (long). Expect a lean angle around 36 degrees. Gravel geometry often balances comfort and control over rough surfaces. Estimated spacers: ~19 mm.

This rating is mainly driven by the parts that affect adjustability: Separate bar and stem components keep fit changes practical, Less routing complexity makes swaps and adjustments more practical, and The listed seatpost details do not show clear restrictions or extra flexibility signals. Overall, it is in the Highly Adjustable bucket. Put simply, it describes how practical it is to reconfigure your position later.

This scores 6.7/10 for comfort, so it feels comfortable out on the road. That’s the reason it lands as Balanced. It’s running about 45 mm tires on 700c wheels, and wider tires let you drop pressure a touch, which smooths out rough pavement on rough lanes and gravel patches. The posture is neutral (posture 6/10, torso ~36°), which balances comfort and responsiveness pretty well.

This sits in a nice value spot for its category. The value score is 1–10. Higher means better value for money; lower means the price is high for what you get. Uses MSRP as a baseline; real-world prices can be lower (discounts can change the value). On the spec estimate, the price is close to what we’d expect for a comparable build. In its peer group, it tends to be better-priced than many, beating about 68% of listings. Quick reference: €5.774 listed versus about €5.991 for a comparable build. Overall, it looks like a strong buy in its category.

This bike is ready for gravel roads while staying efficient on paved stretches. Tires around 45 mm are well suited for gravel roads and unpaved connectors. Overall, the setup matches this surface range well.
