Can the same rider take different sizes on these two bikes?

Yes. Frame labels are not standardized, so the same rider may need different sizes. This comparison deliberately avoids a generic matched-size answer and hands your measurements to Bike Fit instead.

Which frame has the higher front: Canyon Grail CF SLX 8 AXS or Orbea Terra?

The frame front of Orbea Terra is slightly higher, by about 7 mm. That difference alone does not settle your position.

Canyon Grail CF SLX 8 AXS vs Orbea Terra: which bike is right for you?

Fit verdict: the frame positions are close, a few millimetres apart. The frame alone will not decide this; use your measurements to see which size and setup gets nearer to your position on each bike.
