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

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.
