Canyon Spectral:ON 8.0 (2019) review

May 2020 · Mick Kirkman

Well-dialled, good-value package with a great shape and suspension, and sizes to suit all riders

Highs
  • Stable yet dynamic in the corners

  • Brilliant value for money, with great kit

  • Solid chassis with dialled geometry

Lows
  • Front end can feel a tad light on the steepest climbs

  • Steering suffers with the stock 50mm stem

Lows
  • Somewhat rudimentary finish
