Grizl 5 vs Grizl 7 ESC 2026

Currently looking for a new bike. Test driven the old Grizl 7 with the 2by and loved it, more than the 2025 Grizl 5 with 1by.

Now that they both have 1by, I am unsure if I can justify the 700 ' price difference.

Could anyone ride it already, is the GRX 610 feeling-wise a worthy upgrade over the longevity of the Cues? Also the weight is of course lower with the 7 vs the 5.

I am indifferent about the cockpit and will be doing daily hill ascents during my drive to and from work through the forest.

Would love to know your opinions.
