The updated, longer-legged Canyon Spectral has conservative numbers on paper that make for innovative riding on the trail.

Winner of our 2018 Trail Bike of the Year test, the Canyon Spectral proved beyond a shadow of doubt that it really is the compete package.
Lightweight and very capable.
Rear suspension is too progressive.
Dec 2018 · Christoph Bayer
The futuristic shape of the frame, paired with the black/gold paint job and lots of bling makes the Canyon's Spectral CF 9.0 LTD quite the impression.
Very easy and fun handling
Excellent rear linkage
Lots of clever details
Drool-worthy spec
Nervous at speed
Fork can't keep up
Long seat tube
Handlebar too narrow
Rear tyre not aggressive enough

Canyon's Spectral WMN has 140mm of travel, 27.5" wheels, and uses an entirely different frame than the men's version.
Playful on descents
Lightweight
Well thought out details like cable management system
Long 440mm seat tube height on the size medium
Ardent rear tire doesn't provide much traction
Not super plush in rough terrain

Canyon's Spectral WMN CF 9.0 SL is the top flight trail bike for women but tweaks make it fundamentally different from the men’s mountain bike in terms of suspension, geometry and spec. Although the suspension is well tuned, conservative design makes it more of a cross-country machine than a true trail ripper.

A solid, well-specced package, though I’d like a shorter front end. Buy if you want a do-it-all bike that’s at home pedalling across big hills or hitting steep, rooty trails
One of the tidiest frames on the market, still great value for money, hugely versatile
The high front end won’t be to everyone’s taste, feels a touch stretched at 150mm
