The Spectral 125 CF 7 is a mid-travel trail bike made by the brand Canyon, that combines the toughness of the Spectral 29 with the weight savings of their shorter-travel models. Its frame is made of high-end Carbon with an excellent stiffness-to-weight ratio. The bike uses a RockShox Pike Select+ fork with 140mm of travel and a RockShox Deluxe Select+ shock, providing a buttery-smooth experience on tough terrain. Other top-notch components include SRAM Code RS brakes, SRAM GX Eagle 12-speed shifters and rear derailleur, and DT Swiss M1900 XD wheels with Maxxis tires. Weighing in at a good weight in this class, this bike is perfect for playful, but tough, trail riding.

  2. Requires an experienced pilot

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

  2. Lacks small bump sensitivity
  3. Not the most space for water

Moritz Zimmermann

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...
