Highlights Spectral 29 CF 8

Key features

Flip Chip

Do you need maximum stability and control in corners? Or more ground clearance for technical climbing? What if you could have both? Using the Flip Chip on the rear suspension linkage, you can change the bike’s geometry to suit your riding style and riding conditions within a matter of seconds. Head tube and seat tube angle adjustment: 0.5 degrees. Bottom bracket height adjustment: 8 mm.

Replaceable threaded inserts

Inspired by our World Cup mechanics, replaceable threaded inserts guarantee maximum durability. Because if a thread sustains damage after years of hard trail riding, you can just swap it out. And with an ISCG mount you can fit an optional bash guard or chain guide.

Next-level Triple Phase Suspension

The rear end’s Triple Phase Suspension design gives you the performance, control and confidence you need to attack any kind of trail. Sensitive small-bump response provides top traction. In the mid-stroke, a stable feel lets you keep momentum and speed out of berms and over bumps. And on big hits, the suspension ramps up progressively for a bottomless feel.
