Expirience with the Canyon Spectral Mullet CF 8 CLLCTV

Ludwig Döhl The combination of a large 29er front wheel and a small 27.5 rear wheel make the Spectral Mullet CF 8 CLLCTV a versatile bike on the trail. The scales remain light for this model, which is, according to Canyon, at 15,2 kg. Thus, the Spectral Mullet CF 8 CLLCTV is one of the lighter Enduro that you get for 3999 Euro . With its balanced handling, riding the Spectral Mullet CF 8 CLLCTV feels really intuitive. The seating position can be described neither as sporty nor as comfortable. It has a moderate character. Considering that in the range under 4500 Euro, hardly any other manufacturer makes a better bike for the same specs of wheels. Nice! The guarantee of 6 years proves that Canyon is behind its products.
