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.
