Summary
The Canyon Spectral enduro bike is celebrated for its playful and versatile ride, making it a favorite among aggressive trail and enduro riders. Its suspension performance, particularly with models featuring coil shocks, is noted for being supple, supportive, and progressive, enhancing stability and confidence on descents. While it excels in downhill performance and offers great value, some reviews mention limitations in climbing efficiency and suspension tuning.
Playful and versatile ride
Supple, supportive, and progressive suspension
Great value for the price
Well-sorted bike for aggressive trail and enduro riders
Impressive build quality and extras included
Slightly sluggish on climbs
Effective seat tube angle could be steeper
Limited in tuning the suspension without buying other springs
Pedal bob when seated
Stock brakes could be better
This is a really fun bike to get silly on.

The Canyon Spectral CF 8 K.I.S. is a unique carbon fiber mountain bike with a mixed-wheel layout, coil shock, and a SRAM GX AXS drivetrain, all for under $5,000.
FUN!
Looks great
Cornering and handling manners
Quiet
Good suspension spec
Room for improvement in parts spec, particularly the wheels and cockpit
K.I.S. is not a clear winner

The previous generation of Canyon’s Spectral:On was so impressive that our test rider Blake, who reviewed the bike, ended up buying it because he simply didn’t want to stop riding it. That bike was such a good ‘all round package’ it left us wondering, “what could they possibly improve on the next model”? Well, Canyon has answered that question with the new Spectral:On.

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 Big brawlin' Torque vs the go-anywhere Spectral - which one brings more business without spoiling the party out back?
Jul 2022 · Guy Kesteven
Canyon’s shorter travel Spectral is a sawn-off shotgun blast bike, but does a trail bike need heavyweight enduro spec?
Slack, long, stiff and confident
Top non shop value
Impressive short travel control
Enduro strength spec
Enduro spec adds weight
Suspension hard to balance
Not mullet or coil compatible
Unreinforced rear tire

The new-for-2022 Canyon Spectral 125 has pretty much the exact same geometry as the regular 150mm rear-travel Spectral. Why?
