The Canyon Spectral 125 is a short-travel 29er trail bike that's perfect for spicing up your local trails - but is it too niche?

Pros
  1. Tight responsive handling that rewards riders who want to engage with the terrain. Top quality build kit. Low-slung frame design looks killer. Niche never looked so mainstream
Cons
  1. Needs an EXO+ casing rear tyre. Not much lighter than a 150mm bike

The new Canyon Spectral 125 is a progressive, exciting, and bold trail bike that is also the logical consequence of development in this segment. The Spectral 125 does not aim to be an all-rounder from trail to enduro, even if one...

Arne Koop

The Canyon Spectral 125 impresses with its downhill-oriented geometry, excellent equipment, and direct handling. Anyone looking for a short-travel trail bike that provides a lot of stability and wants to jump off every edge will find it here...

Pros
  1. Downhill-oriented enduro geometry
  2. Playful and direct handling
  3. Drive-neutral rear suspension and good riding position
  4. Excellent equipment
Cons
  1. Stiff, somewhat uncomfortable rear suspension
  2. Discrepancy between geometry and suspension travel
