Canyon Spectral CF 9.0 (1 von 1)

Jury Verdict

The new CANYON Spectral CF is a lesson in understatement. This trail bike doesn’t need an attention-grabbing paint job to draw your eye; even stationary, it scores points with its pure elegance, use of form, and product design. On the trail the balanced handling and suspension tick every box. Punching well above its weight, it feels like it possesses far more than 140mm of travel, inspiring confidence and demonstrating great versatility. The rider is always in full control whether on Alpine terrain or flow-trails. The light and rigid carbon-fibre frame forms the perfect basis for an all-round machine whose adventure capabilities are underscored with a 2×10 drivetrain and ergonomic finishing kit.
