Excellent value for money
Responsive and playful handling
Smooth and supportive suspension
High-quality component spec
Comfortable and efficient climbing
Some models have narrow handlebars
Suspension may require tuning for optimal performance
Limited sizing options for taller riders
Tire choices may lack grip in certain conditions
Cable routing and bottle cage placement issues in some frames
The Spectral rewards the rider who likes to descend creatively and corner hard—and it has the snap to carry you up almost any hillBicycling
In the end, I find myself going just as fast and having just as much fun on this bike than I do on other, way fancier bikes in my bike rack.

The updated, longer-legged Canyon Spectral has conservative numbers on paper that make for innovative riding on the trail.
Nov 2018 · Sarah Moore
Canyon's Spectral WMN has 140mm of travel, 27.5" wheels, and uses an entirely different frame than the men's version.
Playful on descents
Lightweight
Well thought out details like cable management system
Long 440mm seat tube height on the size medium
Ardent rear tire doesn't provide much traction
Not super plush in rough terrain

Canyon launched their latest women’s line back in March this year under a “Made for More” campaign: topping the new range is the full carbon 150 / 140 mm Spectral WMN CF 9.0, boasting all the shredability of the hugely popular Spectral platform.

Canyon's Spectral WMN CF 9.0 SL is the top flight trail bike for women but tweaks make it fundamentally different from the men’s mountain bike in terms of suspension, geometry and spec. Although the suspension is well tuned, conservative design makes it more of a cross-country machine than a true trail ripper.

Bad-ass looking, beautiful bike for trail riding with all the bling kit for a rather surprising price, but the new women’s specific geometry gets a mixed response. Buy if you’re looking for a capable trail bike that’s fun to ride, particularly for smaller riders, but needs confident handling on steeper terrain
Incredibly well specc’d for the money, climbs well, fun and flickable on the trails, smaller sizes are great for shorter riders
If you’re towards the top-end of a size range, you may find the reach too short which impacts its performance on steeper terrain
Apr 2018 · Alan Muldoon
Make no mistake, the new Canyon Spectral CF 8.0 isn’t just a facelift with a nip here and a tuck there to extend the shelf life of an existing platform.
