not even the grizl with a <gasp> suspension fork?

From Canyon's website:
The short answer: Both are gravel bikes. The Grail is optimized for smoother off-road surfaces, while the Grizl is better suited to rougher terrain. The Grail is more efficient on-road, but slightly less capable than the Grizl off it. Along those lines, the Grizl is more comfortable on the rough stuff, but not as fast on the smooth.
So yeah, there are a couple other minor differences that make one more the backwoods-bikepacker than the other: 45mm tires on the Grizl vs 40 on the Grail; the Grail has fewer mounting points for racks and stuff; the (minor) geometry tweaks. So, going off of one sentence (heck, just a portion of a sentence at that), I thought I'd poke the discussion
