Spot on geometry
All-rounder ability
The Spectral’s versatility brings playful, capable handling on the trail. Its long and low geo is slack enough to handle serious speed through the rough but also keeps things nimble when trails tighten up.
Shreddable Cat. 4 strength
Trail tough durability
Trail rides can get a little rowdy from time to time, especially on a fun-loving rig like the Spectral. So we've developed both the CF and AL frames to the same strength level as the Strive CFR – Category 4.
Have it your way
Rider-first wheelsizes
Different rider sizes, ride styles, and terrain types mean riders need choice. That's why you'll find mullet and 29er options on tap in the Spectral lineup. Ride it however you want.
Have it all
Trail tuned travel
The Spectral family rides on 150 mm travel forks and 140mm of rear suspension. Controlled and composed in the rough, responsive and poppy through flow trails, efficient and supportive on the climbs.
Spectral AL - not a carbon copy
Fun doesn’t need to be complicated. Performance doesn’t need a huge price tag. The Spectral AL takes everything you love about the Spectral CF - incredible versatility, shred-ready handling - and strips it down to the raw essentials of pure stoke. Tough, no nonsense, ready to rip any trail, anywhere.
Lightweight heavy hitter
Refined carbon frame
A reimagined carbon chassis designed around a 150mm fork and 140mm rear travel for that perfect trail setup. Engineering wizardry, a fresh carbon layup and one-piece rocker link deliver 'just right' levels of stiffness and class-leading performance. This thing feels dialled.
Pick now, swap later
Convertible wheelsizes
Pick your favourite wheelsize and know you can swap your wheels out to run full 29er or mullet setup. The chainstay flip chip lets you easily swap wheelsizes whenever you want.
Flip the chip and rip
Adaptable angles
A 64° head tube angle, 76.5° seat tube angle, roomy reach, and tight chainstays are on point for that modern trail bike feel. The geo flip chip raises the bottom bracket by 8 mm and increases the head tube and seat tube angles by 0.5°.
Pack it and stash it
In frame storage
Stash your every ride essentials in the frame, including our rattle free, perfectly shaped tool bundle (sold separately). Featuring an easy open, super secure lid latch that even the coldest, muddiest hands can operate.
Wear it and stash it
Crazy light rain jacket
Our 3L Lightweight Rain Jacket uses Canyon Defend Plus fabrics to deliver waterproof (10,000 mm) and totally windproof performance. Weighing just 100 g for a size M, it packs away so you can store it in your frame or pocket. (Sold separately)
Mount it and grab it
Bolt-on bags
Sometimes we need to take a few extra spares or have certain items quickly at hand. Our top tube mounts deliver instantly accessible storage, such as strap-free frame bags, frame-mounted tools, and more. (Sold separately)
Reach it and fix it
On hand minitool
An easy-to-reach Canyon FIX Minitool 6+1 handily stored and hidden underneath the Spectral CF’s top tube makes adjusting your setup quick and easy. Just pop it off, fine-tune your ride and get going again. (Sold separately)
Drink it and lock it
Fidlock bottle
Ride longer with our custom-shaped 850 ml Fidlock water bottle. The mounting system holds the bottle while riding and easily detaches when you need it. Or you can stick with a classic 600 ml bottle and cage. (Sold separately)
“I felt like I had some of my best laps on the bike. K.I.S. makes this a positive standout product for the year.”
The Loam Wolf
Editor’s Choice
“With its Keep It Stable steering tech Canyon is giving riders more confidence to ride harder, while the wheel size flip chip gives riders more choice.”
Alan Muldon
MBR
“The duel between Canyon and YT is a close one, as the bikes are similar in many respects. In the end, details such as K.I.S. and greater user friendliness decide a razor-thin victory.”
Peter Nilges
Bike Magazine
“It did all the things that I want a trail bike to do really nicely.”
