    Summary

    Expirience with the Canyon Spectral 125 CF 9

    Canyon Spectral 125 CF 9 Review The Spectral 125 CF 9 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. A low weight means more rideability on different terrain. If the manufacturer's indication is right, the 13,8 kg of the Canyon Fully counts towards the lighter All Mountain that you get for under under 6000 Euro. With a flat 64 degree head tube angle and a long reach, the geometry corresponds to the current trend. If you want to get ahead efficiently and quickly, you will welcome the sporty riding position. Despite this criticism, the coherent overall concept makes the Canyon Fully to in alpine terrain a buying recommendation in the price range 5499 Euro range. We like: 6 years warranty on the frame!
