Welcome to my channel. I'm PJ and this channel is about my passions: cars, travel, waterski, cycling and alpine ski. If you are new, take a look around, leave a comment and subscribe if you want to see more. It's free!
Channel history:
2009: I created a channel called vdvpj, uploading mostly car (supercars, hypercars) videos from my time in London and spots all around the world.
2014: The vdvpj channel got accidentally deleted. We used to have +1.4K subscribers and +1.4 million upload views. We failed to recover the account so we're back with a new channel called PJ's CarChannel! Nothing can stop us!
2019: I decided to merge this one with my second channel (traveling, waterskiing, alpine skiing) and called it Life Of PJ. 🔥

Happy World Bicycle Day! What better way to celebrate it than with a new bike day! I just received my brand new Canyon Ultimate CF SLX8 Di2 race bike, unboxed it, put it together, and took it out for a first spin!
I ordered the bike in a size small. It is equipped with the Ultegra Di2 groupset, DT Swiss ARC 1400 wheels, fully integrated cables, aero cockpit and is painted in the beautiful Arctic Blue gloss and matte color scheme.
I absolutely love it.

Lookin good. Hard to tell from the video but it looks like you’re coming off edge a little early through the wake. Keep the good work up
Thanks so much! I've been working on pulling/holding my angle through the second wake, which allows me to move everything more outward and ultimately to arrive more slowly at the bouy. My skiing improved quite a lot since the video, especially after the 3-day clinic with Rob Hazelwood. Also, I did not buy the Radar but upgraded to the D3 Ion 2.
How tall are you? What are your measurements? What is your inside leg length? Because you ordered size S...
I'm 174cm, 83cm inseam. The size guide on Canyon's website is accurate. I have a Grizl in size S as well and both fit perfectly.
I just bought the same one and the free hub doesn’t make any noise? It’s a DT Swiss 240
When walking the bike, it barely makes any noise. When coasting, it makes enough noise to not need a bell 😄 it becomes louder with time. I think it depends on the amount of grease in the hub.
@@LifeOfPJV thanks! It is nowhere near as loud as this video but hoping it is soon
have this one in my cart. Hoping they can get my size (and eventually an end of season sale ;) )
Awesome! Have fun with it. I bought it just before the sale 🥴
Hey could i know the price?
Hi. You will find the most accurate price for your market on Canyon's website.
what are the specs on those wheels/tires?
The wheels are BMW 763M in Frozen Gold.
Awesome video! I’m looking at this same bike and can’t decide which size to get. How tall are you?
Thanks man! Appreciate it. I can highly recommend this bike, it is amazing. I did not test any other bikes in this price range so I cannot compare, but I can just say how I experience this bike. I have a size small and am 1m74 (5ft8,5). This size guide on Canyon's website will give you the right size.
yuyyuy
This is not a larini exhaust. This is the gts exhaust, with larini x pipe
Thank you for clarifying Steven! Can I ask, how can you tell?
@@LifeOfPJV i have also the gts mufflers, inrecognize the sound, but they are a bit rougher, which is the effect of the x pipe
Absolutely awful 😞. I miss simple form old clocks…
Different times, different cars. I do love the classic dashboards with just a simple clock and gauges, but the wide touchscreen displays are really nice and add a lot of comfort to long rides.
x6m can boogie
It sure can! 😄
Hi, are these road tires?
Hi Thomas. Thanks for your comment. Yes, these are road tires indeed. Continental GP5000 S TR in 32mm (but as they are mounted on gravel rims, the true width is probably about 35mm).
@@LifeOfPJV thank you for your rapid answer!
Мощный БМВ
I don’t hear the exhaust. All I hear is the stupid music
Thanks for the very valuable feedback. I see you can spell charbonfyber correctly, which proves even more how important your opinion is.
ماشاء الله تبارك الله

Yachting Blue is a good color for a Targa.
I definitely is. But I quite like the discreteness of the color in contrast with the rawness of the GT2 RS, don't you?
@@LifeOfPJV Yes. Like a boxer in a Savile Row suit.
Super initiatief! Respect.
Thanks Matthi! 🫶🏻
Respect man, heel mooi!💫
Merci Stijn! En voor de Super Thanks 🫶
I hope that this trip can inspire others. It's heartwarming to see the love for Babouche. Thx for the support from Team Boven de Wolken 💗
Thank you so much Stefaan & BDW for the support. 🤍💫
your son is proud watching his dad do this for his sake from heaven, brother. all the best to you and the wife
Thank you so much mate! 🫶
What an incredible challenge! What a beautiful tribute to our son 👏🏻💪🏻🤍👼 best dad ever 🥰😘

Hi, how tall is your height since your bike is a size small ?
Hi! I'm 1m74 (5ft8.5).
5'-3”
Enjoy!, always the best day! I love the grey (I've go a Canyon Ultimate CF SL 7 rim brake "true grey" myself) Canyon is just so much value for money, love it. I came here because of checking out users with a Grizl CF SL 6 (I was checking out the Curry Powder edition 🙂) 👍🏼
Thanks! Really love the bike. I'm taking it on a bikepacking trip in a 6 days. 1000km, 10000m of vert in 5 days. I will be documenting the trip so keep an 👀 on the channel if you're interested in the setup, my thoughts on the bike, ...
Sz Small bike? How tall are you?
Correct. I'm 174cm or approx. 5ft9. Bike fits perfectly.
👍👍👍
Thanks Dan!

Good video I have Grizl AL 7
Thanks! What are your thoughts on the AL 7?
@@LifeOfPJV so far so good. It’s a bit heavy and the chain dropped a few times. The area at the crank isn’t well protected. Other than that very happy. Did 1,7k kilometers since September. Transformation to tubeless was very easy with the tires and wheels provided. Didn’t have a flat since then.
The chain kinda blocked when shifting from big to small ring and then grinded into to the paint. It really is the area where there is no protection, because there is a welding I guess. Also the holes for bottle cages are to narrow, i.e bottles touch each other
I had some shifting problems at first, but I'm guessing it was just one of the derailleur's cables that wasn't tightened enough. Other than that, only fun times. It is heavier than my roadbike of course, but at 10kg it is pretty light considering it has wide tires. I'm thinking of taking it on a 1000km bikepacking trip in May (centre of Belgium to the French Alps).
@@LifeOfPJV I wanna ride Flanders divide soon as bikepacking and do more Gravel in NL. Another trip to Nice is also planned. I live near Valkenburg, but in Germany. I did a trip to Girona last year to Girona on my road bike, but I had to skip the Alpes. Considering the shifting I don’t know why, but I was when going uphill and maybe I didn’t pedal enough. When I pulled the crank back, it fixed itself. Apart from the blocking, I only had one chain drop at the front. I usually ride in Mergelland in NL or Belgium in that area
Qp5 makes the w222 s class in front look so dull and boring lol
True lol! The QP is so iconic and timeless.
ua-cam.com/video/vTojSXpeRZc/v-deo.html Here is mine
Just bought my second jcw, waiting on delivery of my new clubman jcw in black and red
Kudos to you Phill! Enjoy the ride.
Grizl 6 vs Grizl 7? I dont know..
I have not had the opportunity to test the Grizl 7, so I'm not able to compare. The 7 has better gearing.
Taxi sign ?
Where do you see a taxi sign?
How aree you?~ friend.thank you. this is amazing channel,see ya!~=)
Thank you sir! Hope you are well.
Hi there, how’s it going with the bike now? Any problems with GRX 400? Also, does Canyon provide any clear film on the downtube to protect the frame from stone strikes? Great looking bike!
Hi! Thanks for your comment 🥰 The bike is still doing great. I'm in the middle of waterski competition season, so I don't have a lot of time to go out and ride unfortunately. The bike comes with quite some clear film, especially to protect from rubbing from (bike packing) bags.
Thanks for the reply!
promosm 😒
I didn't quite understand 🙈
Is it worth to buy it now?
Of course. Why wouldn't it be, may I ask?
@@LifeOfPJV maybe other models from different companies could be better in this prize
It depends on what you're looking for. Not being paid to say this but the Grizl CF is a great bang-for-your-buck bike in my opinion.
@@sysispgm2791 you can also consider Cannondale Topstone or Rose Backroad
nice gravel bike hope soon get one new subs mate from philippines 🇵🇭 ride safe
Thanks mate, hope you can get one soon too! Welcome aboard!
Can I ask how tall you are ?
I'm 1m74.
Congratulations!🎉🍾🎈 Now riding Endurace 7.0 Al, but considering to switch to Grizl 6/7, cuz it is more versatile bike for all seasons 😎👌
Thanks! It is a great bike but comes standard with 45mil tires so not very fast on road surface 😄
Top! Hi! I saw that like almost every new bike has that plastic disc behind the sprocket pack. Horrendous😅 I saw that rightly, you removed it. How? Also I would like to ask you, the size of the pedals? Thanks!
Thank you Roberto! Indeed, the plastic comes standard on most bikes. Easily removed it by hand. You might need scissors. Standard size for the pedals, I have put on MTB pedals (Shimano PD-M540 MTB SPD) and I'm wearing MTB shoes on the gravel bike for the reasons explained in the video. Hope this helps. Have a great day!
