2024 Canyon Spectral Review | When Less Is Actually More

See the full review here: https://flowmountainbike.com/tests/20... And check out our Spectral 29 vs mullet test here: https://flowmountainbike.com/tests/ca... Ever since it debuted as a 27.5in trail bike in 2014, the Canyon Spectral has been one of the most popular and well-loved bikes to come from the German direct-to-consumer brand. Its success has seen the platform grow significantly over the years with the arrival of the Spectral 29 in 2020, followed by a mullet version in 2021, before both were joined by the short-travel Spectral 125 in 2022. We’ve had a tonne of experience with almost every variation of the Spectral over the past five years, including the Flight Attendant-equipped Spectral CFR LTD that Mick purchased to be his personal trail bike. As you can imagine then, we were excited to hear that the platform would be getting a total overhaul for 2024. It ain’t just a simple facelift either. There’s a new frame with big changes to the geometry and suspension design. Canyon has also brought on key improvements to address the issues we’ve encountered in the past, while introducing a few surprises too. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Canyon Spectral Video Review Contents 0:00 - Intro 0:36 - 2024 Canyon Spectral Overview 1:06 - Frame & Suspension Design 2:14 - Geometry & Adjustability 3:16 - Canyon Spectral Price & Specs 3:56 - Canyon Spectral Weight 4:04 - Canyon Spectral Sizing & Fit 4:51 - Strengths 7:37 - Downsides 9:04 - Canyon Spectral vs Neuron 9:23 - 29in vs Mullet Testing 9:39 - Flow's Verdict ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Love mountain biking?
