The new series features three frame grades: CFR, CF SLX, and CF, with the top-spec CFR AXS model priced at £7,600 / $8,999 / €8,000.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The design of the Grail was heavily influenced by Rosa Klöser, whose requirements necessitated a clearance above 50mm. This led to a 1x-only design and a solid driveside chainstay, which was a first for the Grail line.
