Canyon introduces the new Spectral, which is one of the most multi-purpose bikes on the market. Since the previous model was unveiled in 2021, I have used it assiduously: long alpine rides, bike park days, weekends in Finale Ligure with shuttle service, and a lot of day rides on the hote trails. The Canyon Spectral 2024 hasn’t been overhauled, partly because it didn’t need to be, but it has undergone some interesting changes and is slightly heavier, but let’s go in order. The model being presented today is the CF, that is, the carbon one. So it is not quite

The Spectral is now a 140mm trail bike with in-frame storage, and a removable steering stabilizer.

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

The 2022 versions of the big brawlin' Torque and the "go anywhere" Spectral - which one brings mo business without spoiling the party in the back?

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!
Jun 2022 · Tom Marvin
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
