    Summary

    Expirience with the Canyon Spectral 125 AL 5

    Canyon Spectral 125 AL 5 Review The Spectral 125 AL 5 is available in many versions. The 125 models have an aggressive approach to the geometry and want to convey maximum descending fun - despite the short suspension travel. If you ride super fast on tricky singletrails, you will love the calm handling of the Canyon All Mountain. The combination of a long top tube and low stack value will make you sit sporty on the All Mountain of Canyon. Especially for light riders under 70 kilos, the weight of this bike is enormous. With 15,8 kg, the ratio of rider to bike weight could be lighter. The All Mountain of Canyon has still a ace up its sleeve. When it goes down the hill, the absolutely coherent geometry always makes you want to come back for more. With 6 years warranty, you can not go wrong.
