Expirience with the Canyon SPECTRAL CF 8 CLLCTV 29

Ludwig Döhl The SPECTRAL CF 8 CLLCTV is packed with details. While the storage compartment in the downtube has become somewhat of a norm, the K.I.S. (Keep It Stable) steering stabilization system is a real rarity on the market. Particularly when pushing the limits on descents, this innovation plays its ace card. With a 64 degree head tube angle and a reach that tends to be long you can certainly speak of a modern geometry. Well trained athletes are likely to really enjoy the sporty seating position. When viewing the 15,84 kg, its apparent: there are lighter All Mountains in this price range. Finally, here is another killer argument: in price range on demanding trails, the Canyon SPECTRAL CF 8 CLLCTV is one of the best models in the on demanding trails category. Canyon gives 6 years warranty on the bike.
