Expirience with the Canyon Spectral 27.5 AL 6

Ludwig Döhl Fullys with 27.5 inch wheels have become rare. With this model, Canyon keeps this option open. A low weight means more rideability on different terrain. If the manufacturer's indication is right, the 15 kg of the Canyon Fully counts towards the lighter Enduro that you get for under under 4500 Euro. The handling of this bike remains balanced thanks to a moderate geometry. The view of the geometry data clearly reveals: the Canyon Enduro has a sporty seating position. For this, the shifting components are pretty much the best thing you can expect on a complete bike for 3099 Euro . The guarantee promise of 6 years ensures trust.
