With shorter travel and a lighter frame, the Canyon Spectral 125 CF 9 is designed to rip on a multitude of terrains.
Great handling
Plenty of adjustment
Sweet components
Not much weight saving over 150mm version
Carbon frame prone to chipping
Fair amount of initial set up

The Spectral 125 is Canyon’s newest offering in the busy, short-travel category. It’s a trail bike with 125mm of rear wheel travel matched to a 140mm travel fork, with geometry matching the newly updated Spectral 150 long-travel line.

When just releasing an aluminum version simply won't do.

Joining the 2022 Canyon Spectral lineup is this brand new mixed wheelsize option. Featuring a 29in front end that's paired to a 27.5in rear, the Spectral mullet promises the perfect balance between the two. But is it really the best of both worlds? Read on for our Canyon Spectral CF 8 CLLCTV review.
An absolute dream to rip corners with
Playful, jump-loving attitude
Supple and well-controlled suspension
Aggressive, high-traction tyres
Appealing spec for the money
Pragmatic and serviceable frame design
Not the best technical climber
Harder work on really rough & raw singletrack
Slow hub engagement

It’s definitely a Canyon! The Spectral:ON looks damn fine and is immediately recognisable as a Canyon with its distinctive carbon frame. For our budget group test, the German direct-sales brand enters the race with the € 5,199 CF 7, which integrates the EP8 motor system just as seamlessly as the flagship model. Of course, on the trail, riding performance is far more important than aesthetics. Can the light and nimble Canyon prevail against the strong competition?
Very high fun factor
Lively, nimble handling
Strong performance on long rides
Excellent value for money
Steep trails uphill and downhill
Long seat tube
Twitchy at high speeds

Excellent Cornering
Overall Handling
Supple, Active, and Poppy Suspension Performance
Shimano EP8 is a Solid System
Slightly Behind the Times With Geometry
