We put the Canyon Spectral CF 8 KIS to the test to see how the new steering stabiliser works, and how it impacts your riding.
Improved cornering performance on loose terrain
Significantly reduces wheel flop on the climbs
Simple & lightweight
Adjustable slider is useful for different terrain
KIS system adds cost & complexity
There are notable quirks on the trail
Price of entry is relatively high

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

In our Canyon Spectral 125 CF8 review, we found its confidence inspiring and can ride terrain we usually don’t think about taking a 125mm bike in. Learn more!
Poppy, playful geometry
Progressive leverage curve
Just a fun all around bike
Quality, headache free components
Unsettled in big terrain at speed, which it will lure you into!

The Spectral 125 is a hooligan of a bike that encourages you to try things you might otherwise not dare
Aggressive shape
Super-fun personality
Frame easy to live with
Sluggish at low speed on mellow terrain
Not a sofa-like ride
Thin tyres
