- Can a carbon gravel bike survive big MTB freeride jumps? I push the Canyon Grizl gravel bike to the limits on a huge stair set, massive bike park jumps and even europe's biggest indoor skatepark, how long will this bike last?
I ride the Canyon Grizl as hard as possible all while holding onto the drop bars in this crazy video about pushing this bike to new limits on big jumps at Twisted Oaks bike park and even getting upside down on the biggest skatepark in Europe! Gravel biking is awesome and I show you just how wild you can go on these kind of bikes. From normal MTB trails and huge jumps to blasting through the woods at full speed, this bike can really do a lot more than I ever imagined! Would you ride that big pro jump line on this bike?
I hope you enjoy the video!

Nice try bot, nice try
Try Road bike, like Tour de France 🇫🇷 bikes 😂
@@mathieulabrie6185 Look for „Road bike party “, Sam and Martyn Ashton did some wild clips years ago 🤟
canyon watching this while crying at what he's doing to the bike
But where's my prize ?
Man. Sam could shred a shopping cart and make it look easy. Skills for days!
"People always say their bike sounds like a shopping cart. Guess what, mine is a shopping cart!"
@sampilgrim Shopping cart challenge!! 😂
excellent video can tell some effort went into the one!
Cheers dude!!
Wait wut? 2 of my favourite youtubers in one comment section? From two opposite ends of hobby spectrums. My head has just blown apart 🤣
@@seansamurai1981was just thinking the same. no1 biker ,no1 rc top bloke's
No way do you ride kev
Colabbbbbbb 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
This has to be the best advert for canyon bikes. If it can survive the Sam Pilgrim treatment it can survive anything
Halo Whels can survive anything too
That video he did cutting the spokes on a halo wheel was crazy how strong they are.
fuuuk thats for sure!! was thinking the same!!!@@ByronAllis
@@ioanbola blatantly needed the halo wheels for this vid
Pretty sure it is, not the first MTB pro doing this on canyon bikes in recent time. Seen other videos like this as well.
Would be fun to see more of the locals' reactions to these bikes and tricks
I really like how canyon is giving him all the bikes and let him go wild 😎
Sam has to be the most versatile rider of all time, what a G!
And in my humble opinion that makes him one of the best (mountain)bike riders of all time
No doubt he's a HUGE legend, he's the tony hawk of mountain biking imo
Ye now he needs to goto tour de france to claim this
The amount of skill I've watched Sam lay down over the years, the versatility of so death machines
Sam is literally the best
If I worked for Canyon I'd be trying to get Sam to help make the best gravel / bike advertisement ever. Some sort of insane cuts from road and gravel group riding then splitting off on a shortcut to some other genre's, an intense mtb and park hit, a trials move, a skate park, and back to the streets doing some street move then stairs meeting back up with the group at a coffee stop.
Uhm... this is exactly what happened here.
If they´d advertise this directly as canyon branded, it might bring a bunch of lawsuits to their mailbox. It remains a fact that this bike is in no way designed to withstand the forces presented here on a regular basis.
Who knows, maybe there were even a bunch of snapped frames/forks/wheels during filming ?
I sincerely hope nobody will try to mimic this.
Sams skills are mad, ordinary people would probably just die from some of his stunts :)
@@Shub-23 LOL! No it's not, unless I missed the group road and gravel ride and the "shortcut" edit to meet back up with the group at a coffee stop, LOL; read before you write; this is a typical good video for this CZcams channel, not produced as commercial advertisement. You also seem to be confused and contradict yourself saying this is a commercial but not really and somehow immune from repercussions made by the same company that would be sponsoring this if it was an advertisement; plus who said anything about random people mimicking these stunts?
Do you really think Sam broke a bunch of frames and wheels, really? You obviously know nothing about how strong and capable this level of bikes are, ever heard of "Road Bike Party" or seen the number of videos attempting to destroy this level of components without success, until cutting spokes, etc. Are you an engineer at Canyon, doubt it, but you somehow know for a "fact" that this bike isn't designed to take these forces huh, doubtful your an engineer, have ever designed or made anything yourself, there is more to it than simply designing something to be as weak as possible for said use, it could very well be designed to take these forces without ever being intended to do these stunts for all you know.
No it would not bring "a bunch" of lawsuits, if you can't do these stunts on any bike no court is going to rule a pay out because you got hurt trying it on this bike; if you can do these stunts on another bike, Sam just showed it can be done on this bike(very highly doubt Sam's replacing his bike or parts at all in this video), just because a rider isn't Sam doesn't mean the frame is suddenly going to snap doing the same moves, and in any case this is known as an inherently dangerous sport and why you don't hear of people winning lawsuits all the time, if your logic had any basis the car manufactures would be out of business for paying out lawsuits on broken trucks and car wrecks doing what is done in advertisements, and why there is fine print at the bottom of such ads to protect against the morons who try to sue for being morons or participating in inherently dangerous actions where part of the known outcome is breaking things and getting hurt sometimes.
Go waste your time and money trying to sue a company for such nonsense if you believe you're right.
@@willjones7132[insert "daddy chill" meme here] Jesus dude take a sedative or something 🤣
not everybody knows how sponsorship deals work, seems like this guy thinks it's the same as a commercial. it's not. he did not say outright at the start that "THIS VIDEO is sponsored by Canyon" and there was no "advertisement" label which is required by UK law, which you can see on any GCN video that is sponsored by only one brand. plus, it included mentions of GoPro and Halo Wheels, which a directly sponsored video would NOT include. so this falls under his standard sponsorship the general details of which Sam has dicussed before, where he gets paid by mentions of the sponsor, in this case being GoPro, halo, and of course Canyon. I didn't notice if he was wearing a Swatch, but if that was there then it includes them as well. if he does anything inappropriate with those products then he could lose their sponsorship, but I don't think he has to clear the standard videos through them before posting. Directly sponsored videos however usually WOULD have to be cleared by the brand before he was allowed to post it, but that might vary depending on his contract.
Regarding the dangers to viewers who actually try the stunts, EVERY one of his videos is like this, and I would think if there was any danger of that, he straight up wouldn't have ANY sponsors by this point.
to address the other issue if he ever snaps a frame, or bends a wheel, that shit is CZcams gold, and there is no way he would ever leave that out of the video.
I think Sam just voided the warranty :P not that he gives a flying
Sam is the man STILL! Flinging a gravel bike around like it’s no big deal is just bonkers. Is there anything SP can’t do with a bike? The guy is a living legend when it comes to pushing two wheels to the limit. Sam, when you’ve had enough of putting videos on CZcams, how about teaching others to do this stuff?
I feel like Sam won't be in heaven... You'll find him outside bombing the Stairway to Heaven for eternity. 🤘😇🤙
🤣
Awesome video, thanks Sam.... 😁👍
And doing backflips in cloud bowls
Sick to see in person, I was in room 2 at the same time 🤟
Really enjoyed that: Sam I love how you prove time and time again that you don’t need to spend a fortune to have fun on a bike, your bike control is top tier👌
Thanks dude!
you need money to not get catastrophic failures that will result in loosing your teeth though 😁
you seen what the grizl cost these days lol
For anyone wanting to get a serious MTB, you don't need the latest and greatest and maintenance will always be expensive, find a platform you love and ride it till it can't (within reason).
I've comment this before, but man, people today needs to appreciate how good wheels has become. Back in the late '80s, early' 90s, you'd bend a mountainbike wheel to a pretzel just sneezing hard. 😆
So true! I mnt biked the most from 92 to 2004 and the progress made during that period was mind blowing. Going from no sus to full, cantilever breaks to hydro disk, just insane how much the bikes changes during that time.
I haven't really mnt biked since, dirt bikes and dual sports fill the itch, but I do miss it.
@@squidsleap Then I gotta say that the progress in wheels from 1987-1992 was also HUGE. And the leap from then to today is just another level altogether... But before 1990, MTB wheels were like whet noodles, just amazingly weak... 😆
@Farmfield I remember my friend doing a wheel through the quad when we were freshman (so must have been 92) and his back wheel taco'd
@@squidsleap Land anything but straight and they just folded, like it was nothing. 😆
Those were still the days, though - crap brakes, no suspension, and so much fun.
Nice editing Sam. That transition using the tree at Twisted 🙌
It was an excellent transition, quite smooth.
Strong Road Bike Party vibes.
To the sky!
What can you not do Sam? Wow! Kids bike, road bike, gravel bike...Amazing!
While we rode through the woods and urban commando'd on our 1987 Yetis, Tomac replicas and Cooks Brothers equipt fancy Moots mountain bikes, my buddy David ripped right beside us on his Cannondale H300 hybrid with Shimano Acera or something like that.
Its the rider...
Always fun to watch Sam have fun ! 😊
And that's why i know i suck :D
Today was EPIC, Sam and Lewi, y'all rock! Love the gravel bike. To the sskkyyy! Peace
Hi Sam I'm a new subscriber and have been watching your videos all day today and they are fun and epic!! Thankyou for an awesome funday Sunday!!🤘🏽😉🤘🏽
Yewwwwww insane mate
Yes! More crazyness on the Grizzle ma nizzle, plz 😂🤘🏼
And balls of stone sir, to keep it even in the lower-grip-bar-thingies while jumping! (Ofcourse, there’s the brakes too…but still…😅 mad respect 🙏🏼 )
Yes, let’s have more gravel bike insanity! That would be totally rad dude!
Man, you make every bike look great! You pull off stunts on any bike with such ease. More of this Canyon gravel bike please!
I cant believe you rode on the drops the whole time, aero all the way
More leverage on the brake levers, and slightly wider since the drops are flaired
The new hoodie looks fire and i just ordered it as well as the long slide on grips your the best bike content creator out there with all your amazing ideas and sendage keep shredding🤙
Gotta say this guy Sam is a real cool guy. Took a break from watching for about 2 years to come back and get the same stoke from a video like this. This guy loves bikes and I love his energy all on his own out there
As always. Proving what a badass you are!!! Well done my brother 💪🤙
The airtime on Big Line was just insane! what a bike
Thank you Sam, I love watching Trials guys on the gravel bike's, well any bike I like and love trials
Great advert for gravel bikes they really are very durable. Probably similar to where MTB was in the 90’s. Awesome riding Sam
I'd say even better. We used to bend forks every couple of months back then
@@stirfrybry1 What? Why? How?
@@hydorah Jumping big. used to bend forks a bunch until I got switch blades. LOL then got a suspension bike and it was ON!
That backflip was gnarly!!! and with that frozen wood wtf lol
This has a lot of Road Bike Party energy. Incredible stuff. So impressed. Great editing too.
I have a Grizl 7, I'm not that surprised yours took that level of abuse. I love that bike, no matter how much you beat it up its always so smooth and quiet. Absolute beast, crazy good value too.
I have one also guess no worries on durability. ha
yooo like the new video's keep the good work up💯
Love watching you hangtime man❤❤❤
Keepsafe always sky king more power💪🚴
More content on the gravel bike please! I thought it was very stylish!
production levels are to the MAX! great job sam!
I'm going to rewatch Martyn Ashton road bike party after this
That stairset of doom is in Castle Park, Thetford, and it's famous because (1) Bodicea used to have a hill-fort on top of it (you could have done one of your little history pieces Sam) and (2) me and my mates used to do mud and snow slides down it on milk crates in the 1970s, long before that stairset was built. Next time I'm back there, I'm going to have a go at riding it myself, but I suspect I'll end up spread-eagled half a mile away with my bootlace threaded through my ringpiece.
I once sledged down castle hill and left my phone in my back pocket and bananad it 😂
All thetford crew in here lol! Castle park aint the same u can't rag a crosser onit anymore
the definition of get me on any bike 🤣🤣 love your videos and thanks for getting me into MTB
Sam your bag of skills is insane! Love this video mate 👊🏽
Your positive energy has me in stiches. Never change mate.
Only Sam can truly make a gravel bike way cooler than it should be. I see one and all I think of is it needs a dirt velodrome......actually that would be fun. Sam just turns it into the ultimate fun machine and Lewi makes it more epic with those excellent camera angles. Tom had the right idea with the cannonball but the flip tuck was truly epic. How did you get back to the bars so well Sam? Loved it. The Grizzle is a winner.
Love the Gravel bike content, it’s fun to watch you push them to the limits…
Crazy how the wheels did well on the strairsets of doom. Great video Sam👊🏿
tbf they are a $600+ wheelset they should handle it just fine
sick!! the bike looks so funny with that freeride height and seat position
Gravel bikes seam quite interesting! 💕
Another EPIC vid ! Thanks Sambo🤘😎 well good
The Canyon would CRUSH some urban trails lines, get it done!!
I'm totally impressed with canyon's engineering, i kept waiting the entire video for you to taco the wheels, but they held up! Genius marketing. Great vid, cheers.
Epic skill levels Sam 👍🏼
Sam, you are mental. Those shots of you on the dirt jumps at 5 mins are hilariously crazy. On a bloody rigid!
I was watching video and when you showed the stairs, i paused the video and thinking whats gona happen😂.
Keep it like that Sam👍.
10:35 Cannon Ball? more like Canyon ball! Nice riding bro, you're a beast
Yes Sam sick vid 🤙
Excellent love my Gravel bike go anywhere do anything cool... sam nice skills as always 😊
Watching Sam just shows it’s all about the rider not the bike he can do stunts, jumps downhills uphills literally every on any bike from £50 - £10000+ he’s so good
This video is just crazy. Crazy skills, crazy action with the bike. :)
What's almost as crazy is that Canyon sells the Grizl as a "Bike Category 1CX" bike:
Bikes of this category are designed for riding on hard-surface roads where the wheels remain in permanent contact to the ground. These are in general road racing bicycles with racing handlebars or straight handlebars, triathlon or time trial bicycles. The permissible maximum overall weight comprising rider, luggage and bicycle should not exceed 120 kg. Under certain circumstances this permissible maximum weight can be further limited by the component manufacturers’ recommendations for use. Proven cyclocross and gravel bikes with racing handlebars and cantilever or disc brakes are a special case in this category. In addition, these bikes are also suitable for gravel paths and off-road trails where a short loss of tyre contact with the ground due to small stairs or steps at a height of 15 to 20 cm can occur.
15-20 cm... That is no more than a high curb. Made me question the sturdiness of the bike once. Not anymore. :D
Your production quality has gotten really good over the years. Respect to you and your brother. :)
Absolutely mental holy shit! You're a legend mate!
I like the new style of videos but I have to say that I liked it better when the uploads were more frequent 😅
Really enjoyed this format! A lot more flowy!
Gravel bikes are proper good fun, banger edit 🤘
The gravel bike party i have been waiting for!!!
Thanks Sam, this video made my day.
Glad ya liked it!!
Love your vids
You are a legend Sam
Those rims are fresh as hell, you never see silver rims anymore.
Wow, you go proper all in here man!
really good videoo keep up mannn
The sheer honesty in telling canyon did you really think id lesurely ride this 🤣🤣🤣 abaolutely love these videos adds so much excitement to all forms of bikes and riding 🔥🔥
Let's be real: all these companies saw your video of you offroading on the roadbike and just slapped a label on their spare road bikes.
Thinking anything else would just be wrong, thoose gravel bike tyres seem like a joke to me
And a price raise from 800€ to 1800€
Amazing skills, man!
Fantastic video, incredible skill !
Insanely EPIC 🔥🔥
Dude….. Straight 🔥
Sam, your´re so crazy, i love it
That was the best one !!!🎉🎉🎉
