Our Trail Bike of the Year 2018, the Canyon Spectral AL is the 27.5in bike which all others are measured. It’s undergone revisions to make it more capable.
Jul 2019
Looking to make it even more capable, Canyon has beefed up the suspension on its popular Spectral 27.5in trail bike for 2019. Compared to last year's version, the new Spectral gets a 160mm travel fork and 150mm out back, putting it into lightweight enduro territory. The question remains: is it a change for the better?
The lovely brushed alloy frame looks equally clean and industrial
High-quality Fox suspension package
Water bottle inside the mainframe
That tidy tool-free Quixle thru-axle
Seat tubes need to be shorter
Weight - this bike has a lot of it!
The Iridium dropper post lever is a little wiggly

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.

Canyon's Spectral AL 6.0 is hard to beat, it rides well, is loaded with impressive specs and is priced less than the competition. Buy if you want one of the best deals in mountain biking and have the knowledge to make an informed buying decision
Insanely good specs for price, good ride quality, price
35mm bars too harsh, not a lot of 2.6in tire options, possible lack of bike shop support

At just $2,399, this sparkle pony delivers an incredible number of smiles per dollar, excellent components, and great ride qualities.
