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

The updated, longer-legged Canyon Spectral has conservative numbers on paper that make for innovative riding on the trail.

Canyon have reworked the bike, giving it more travel among other updates. But is the Canyon Spectral CF 7.0 still as versatile as before?
Capable and lively rear suspension
Look and quality of the bike
Loves demanding terrain
Value for money
Flat trails require an active riding style
Underpowered brakes

Top frame and killer suspension, but let down by tall head and seat tubes
Well-designed frame, killer suspension
The tall head and seat tube reduce versatility

Winner of our 2018 Trail Bike of the Year test, the Canyon Spectral proved beyond a shadow of doubt that it really is the compete package.
Lightweight and very capable.
Rear suspension is too progressive.

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.
