Expirience with the Canyon Spectral 29 CF 9

Ludwig Döhl An aggressive approach to the geometry makes the Spectral 29 CF 9 one of the most "newschool" bikes on the market. Perfect for shredding, skipping, braaaping. With the weight indication of 13,6 kg, Canyon lets the competitors look outdated. Because under the Enduro you will hardly find a lighter model. Riding pleasure guaranteed. Especially in extremely steep terrain, this combination makes for smooth handling. The combination of a long top tube and low stack value will make you sit sporty on the Spectral 29 CF 9. For trail lovers, one point dominates: the Canyon Fully scores in the decent with an extremely good geometry, a high-quality suspension and grippy tires. The guarantee of 6 years proves that Canyon is behind its products.
