Canyon has expanded from manufacturing bikes to introduce its own carbon wheels. Its first wheelset is the GR30 CF, which it will sell standalone as well as fitting it to two specs of the 2025 Grizl gravel bike. It promises additions to its wheel line-up in 2026.
According to Canyon’s senior product manager, Maxime Brunand: “This is a new chapter in the Canyon story. We’re entering the wheel market with decades of cycling know-how and expertise distilled into a trusted performance product that works in perfect harmony with Canyon bikes.”
Canyon has built its own testing facilities in its production centres, aiming to ensure top quality in its new wheels, which are not yet available to US buyers.
1,525g wheelset weight
The new wheels, as their name denotes, are 30mm deep and have a wide 27mm internal/33mm external-width hookless rim. Canyon claims a 1,525g weight for the GR30 CF wheelset – 715g for the front and 810g for the rear wheel, including rim tape.
Canyon’s new wheels are laced to DT Swiss 350 Spline hubs, which Canyon says have an unbeatable reputation for reliability and performance. Canyon also looks to DT Swiss for its Aerocomp straight-pull spokes.
Tyres up to 54mm wide
The wheels come ready-fitted with a Shimano Micro Spline freehub for compatibility with Shimano GRX 1x12-speed groupsets. They’re supplied with a SRAM XDR freehub body too, so you can convert tool-free to run SRAM cassettes. Canyon also supplies tubeless valves.
To make it easy to ensure tyre compatibility, the GR30 CF wheel rims are printed with tyre-width compatibility details and recommended pressure ranges. Canyon says you can use the wheels with gravel bike tyres up to 54mm wide. Its rim tape is printed with recommended sealant volumes.
The Canyon GR30 CF wheels are priced at £859.95 / €899 a set, significantly lower than many competitor gravel bike wheels. They'll also be specced on the Canyon Grizl OG CF 8 Di2 and Canyon Grizl CF 9 Escape gravel bikes.
