Spectral:ON CF

The 29" front wheel improves rollover while the smaller 27.5" rear wheel allows for a shorter rear end and more playful handling.

A slack headtube and long reach create a confident, centred stance that increases your control on steep and sketchy trails. And with short chainstays, more standover and top quality dropper posts, you have room to manoeuvre when things get rowdy. The result? Confidence, stability and all-out-fun.

Our Triple Phase Suspension kinematics keeps things smooth on small bumps, providing a stable mid stroke for maximum power output, and ramps up at the end of its stroke. The Spectral:ON is truly ready for anything.

The Spectral:ON is loaded with smart features that deliver out on the trail. Large, fully-sealed bearings increase durability and keep water and grime out. Our reinforced skid plate shields the motor and chainring. While the integrated chain guide keeps the chain in place when things get rowdy, or as we call it: Play ON repeat.

The Spectral:ON is fully carbon. Its frame architecture enables us to gain strength while shaving off grams. We also bolster rear end stiffness with a seatstay bridge. As well as added bearings that revolve around massive 15 mm thru-axles at both the main and seatstay pivots.

E-MTBs deliver more speed, which requires stellar suspension. The Spectral:ON delivers with burly Fox 36 and RockShox Lyrik suspension forks. Additionally, thanks to powerful 4-piston disc brakes, massive 203 mm rotors, and light-yet-durable wheelsets, the Spectral:ON is built to last.

At 2.7 kg, the latest magnesium-clad Shimano EP8 (EP 801) motor is one of the lightest motors on the market. It’s also one of the most powerful, with 85 Nm of peak torque that effectively quadruples your pedalling power and makes punching up steep climbs that much easier.

Our batteries are big on capacity and designed to put a big grin on your face.
Ride up to 100 km with 2,130 vertical metres on a single charge (depends on rider weight, mode selection, elevation change and conditions).
And they can be serviced at any Shimano service centre.

Eliminate range anxiety with our whopping 900 Wh battery. Or perhaps you want to boost the fun factor with the increased agility and weight saving of the 720 Wh. Designed and engineered by Canyon, covered by Shimano’s global service centre.

In the unlikely event of a problem with your battery, you’re covered by either Canyon service partners or Shimano service centres.
So you can shred without dread.
