Do-it-all DNA

The Spectral is a masterful jack of all trades trail bike developed on our home trails of Koblenz.

With both the AL or CF models, expect the same core ingredients that deliver grin inducing, playful handling, climb crushing efficiency and gravity-bred capability. A recipe that works on a huge range of trails, for a huge range of riders.

Spot on geometry

All-rounder ability

The Spectral’s versatility brings playful, capable handling on the trail. Its long and low geo is slack enough to handle serious speed through the rough but also keeps things nimble when trails tighten up.

Shreddable Cat. 4 strength

Trail tough durability

Trail rides can get a little rowdy from time to time, especially on a fun-loving rig like the Spectral. So we've developed both the CF and AL frames to the same strength level as the Strive CFR – Category 4.

Have it your way

Rider-first wheelsizes

Different rider sizes, ride styles, and terrain types mean riders need choice. That's why you'll find mullet and 29er options on tap in the Spectral lineup. Ride it however you want.

Have it all

Trail tuned travel

The Spectral family rides on 150 mm travel forks and 140mm of rear suspension. Controlled and composed in the rough, responsive and poppy through flow trails, efficient and supportive on the climbs.

Spectral AL - not a carbon copy

Fun doesn’t need to be complicated. Performance doesn’t need a huge price tag. The Spectral AL takes everything you love about the Spectral CF - incredible versatility, shred-ready handling - and strips it down to the raw essentials of pure stoke. Tough, no nonsense, ready to rip any trail, anywhere.

The trail mastering Spectral CF

Refocused. Refined. Ready for any trail and every rider.

Stacking innovative features on top of tried-and-tested tech, this next-gen trail bike elevates versatility and capability to a new level allowing you to point it up or down almost every trail on the hill with total confidence.

If you want a playful trail toy, an awesome adventurer, or just need one bike for a bit of everything, this bike is it.

Lightweight heavy hitter

Refined carbon frame

A reimagined carbon chassis designed around a 150mm fork and 140mm rear travel for that perfect trail setup. Engineering wizardry, a fresh carbon layup and one-piece rocker link deliver 'just right' levels of stiffness and class-leading performance. This thing feels dialled.

Pick now, swap later

Convertible wheelsizes

Pick your favourite wheelsize and know you can swap your wheels out to run full 29er or mullet setup. The chainstay flip chip lets you easily swap wheelsizes whenever you want.

Flip the chip and rip

Adaptable angles

A 64° head tube angle, 76.5° seat tube angle, roomy reach, and tight chainstays are on point for that modern trail bike feel. The geo flip chip raises the bottom bracket by 8 mm and increases the head tube and seat tube angles by 0.5°.

Stashed storage

A next-gen bike needs next-gen storage, leave the backpack and straps at home and keep all your essentials in and on your Spectral.

Put your trail essentials like CO2 cartridges, CO2 inflator, spare tube, levers, or whatever else you want inside the Canyon LOAD Spectral Tool Pack that fits inside the frame's downtube storage.

Keep the 6-in-1 minitool and other small tools within easy reach thanks to the strap-free on-frame storage mounts.

“I felt like I had some of my best laps on the bike. K.I.S. makes this a positive standout product for the year.”

The Loam Wolf

Editor’s Choice

“With its Keep It Stable steering tech Canyon is giving riders more confidence to ride harder, while the wheel size flip chip gives riders more choice.”

Alan Muldon

MBR

“The duel between Canyon and YT is a close one, as the bikes are similar in many respects. In the end, details such as K.I.S. and greater user friendliness decide a razor-thin victory.”

Peter Nilges

Bike Magazine

“It did all the things that I want a trail bike to do really nicely.”

Complementary Control

On the latest Spectral CF, every ride just got faster. smoother and more controlled with the integration of Keep It Stable (K.I.S.) technology on all models.

This mechanical steering stabiliser actively centres your bars to step up rider confidence and control. Hold ludicrous lines through off-cambers, face fewer front wheel washouts and let loose through the roughest trails.

For riders looking to stick with standard steering, the system is removable and a blanking plate for the adjuster slot is supplied with every bike.
