Canyon Spectral:ON CF 8
Canyon's entire suspension e-bike makeover of its heavy-duty, long-travel, 29er-wheeled torque brawler bike is the Spectral:ON CF 8. The latest Spectral:ON retains the carbon mainframe, internal battery, and mixed wheel/mullet baseline, but adds Shimano's EP8 motor and a larger battery. This results in a well-rounded, attractive, and exciting e-trail bike that's well-equipped for the money, but it's not without flaws.
Canyon Spectral with a semi-carbon frame: The ON CF 8 keeps things light, while the mullet wheel size keeps things shreddy. Shimano XT 12-speed gearing and XT M8100 brakes are included on the bike. With 150mm of travel in the back and 160mm in the front, Fox's Performance series handles the suspension. Maxxis rubber is mounted on the DT Swiss H1700 Hybrid rims. Overall, the Spectral is a lightweight electric mountain bike with a reliable drivetrain, components, and suspension. Canyon is a direct-to-consumer company, so you won't be able to try one on before you buy it; nevertheless, it will be delivered to your door.
