With the new Spectral:ONfly, Canyon introduce their second ‘light’ e-mountainbike. According to the German manufacturer, it’s the “do-it-all bike” in their portfolio, featuring a TQ HPR 50 motor system and 160/150 mm of travel. But is the Spectral:ONfly truly a companion for all occasions?

After introducing their first light eMTB in spring 2024, the Neuron:ONfly, Canyon unveil yet another light-assistance mountain bike, the Canyon Spectral:ONfly, which is meant to bridge the gap between the analog Spectral and the “full-fat” Spectral:ON. Whether analogue or electric, the Spectral has always been Canyon’s “do-it-all bike”. The new Spectral:ONfly features a full carbon frame, 160/150 mm of travel (f/r), and a mixed wheel setup with a big 29″ wheel at the front and smaller 27.5″ wheel at the rear. Moreover, it’s Canyon’s first e-bike featuring the K.I.S. steering stabiliser. Pricing starts at a comparatively affordable € 5,599. We tested the LTD flagship model, which retails at € 8,999 and tips the scales at just 18,6 kg in size M. Read the full review to find out how it performs on the trails and what else it has to offer!
