Specialized or Canyon. New to cycling.

Canyon Grail CF SL 7 vs Specialized Roubaix SL8?

  • I'm new to cycling and looking for a bike I can keep for years.
    • Me:
      • Beginner/ female
      • Want to try doing Olympic-distance triathlon
      • Budget up to around CAD $5,000.

Or are there any other bikes in this price range that I should seriously consider?

Which one? Help choosing between Canyon or Specialized

New to cycling. I spoke to a couple folks (all men) and now can't decide which one I should get. Please help.
Canyon Grail CF SL 7 AERO vs Specialized Roubaix SL8.

  • Beginner cyclist
  • Planning to train for an Olympic-distance triathlon
  • Most riding will be on pavement, but I'd like the option to ride gravel occasionally.
  • Comfort and confidence are more important than speed
  • Budget up to around CAD $5,000.

I'm deciding between:

  • Canyon Grail CF SL 7
  • Specialized Roubaix SL8

Which would you choose and why? Are there any other bikes in this price range that I should consider?
