Expirience with the Canyon Spectral 29 CF 7

Ludwig Döhl An aggressive approach to the geometry makes the Spectral 29 CF 7 one of the most "newschool" bikes on the market. Perfect for shredding, skipping, braaaping. The scales remain light for this model, which is, according to Canyon, at 14,6 kg. Thus, the Canyon Enduro is one of the lighter Enduro that you get for 3499 Euro . With a flat 64 degree head tube angle and a long reach, the geometry corresponds to the current trend. Due to the interplay of a relatively long top tube and a low stack, the riding position is sporty. A shout out to Canyon – we take our hats off, because a first-class price / performance ratio make the Canyon Enduro for on extremely technical trails a benchmark in the price range under 4500 Euro. With 6 years the warranty is another neat feature.
