Expirience with the Canyon Spectral 27.5 CF 7

Ludwig Döhl Fullys with 27.5 inch wheels have become rare. With this model, Canyon keeps this option open. With 14,4 kg, the Enduro of Canyon counts towards the lighter bikes in this price range. The competitors are sometimes heavier. With its geometry, the Spectral 27.5 CF 7 is right in the middle between playfulness and high speed stability. Well trained athletes are likely to really enjoy the sporty seating position. The Canyon Enduro has higher quality wheels than the competitors with comparable prices. With 6 years warranty, nothing stands in the way of a long-term relationship.
