My gravel-tuned Canyon Inflite CF SLX

This is my Canyon Inflite Pro RACE 9.0 (2018) crossbike with 40mm on the rear (max width to fit in there) and 45mm at the front to make it more into a gravel bike. Next I'll replace the derailleur with a long caged Force 1x to gain some easier climbing gears without sacrificing top speeds.

It's such a great bike and I'll probably never find another bike that handles this perfectly overall.

I've compared it to the 1st gens of Grail and Grizl and this thing is so much more agile and stable on descents and in tight corners on loose gravel. If I could just a little bit more clearance at the rear, it'd be absolute perfection.
