This 150mm-travel 29er with a 160mm fork offers generous travel, balanced handling, and is surprisingly lively
Light and balanced or a long travel 29er
Easy to maintain
Squeaky chain guide
Slow rear hub engagement

The Spectral is back on big wheels for 2021, with 150mm of rear travel and a full carbon frame.
Very well spec'd for the price
Snappy pedaling performance
Reasonable weight makes it suitable for bigger days of riding
There's only room for a smaller water bottle.
Longer seat tube may prevent running longer dropper posts
Not the bike to pick if you have a smash-through-everything riding style

Our Trail Bike of the Year 2018, the Canyon Spectral AL is the 27.5in bike which all others are measured. It’s undergone revisions to make it more capable.

Looking to make it even more capable, Canyon has beefed up the suspension on its popular Spectral 27.5in trail bike for 2019. Compared to last year's version, the new Spectral gets a 160mm travel fork and 150mm out back, putting it into lightweight enduro territory. The question remains: is it a change for the better?
The lovely brushed alloy frame looks equally clean and industrial
High-quality Fox suspension package
Water bottle inside the mainframe
That tidy tool-free Quixle thru-axle
Seat tubes need to be shorter
Weight - this bike has a lot of it!
The Iridium dropper post lever is a little wiggly

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.
