The Canyon Spectral 125 CF 9 is a straight-up riot on the trails – it's like bringing a monster truck to a skatepark. Canyon has infused this beast with a playful yet aggressive DNA, making it poppy and engaging no matter what the terrain throws at you. It boasts a long, low, and slack geometry that screams confidence, coupled with a bombproof carbon frame that's both lightweight and incredibly durable. At the heart of its agility and capability is the 125mm travel on the rear, perfectly tuned to squeeze every bit of fun out of the trails, while the FOX 36 Factory fork up front brings 140mm of buttery smooth travel. This setup means business, providing a balanced ride that's both responsive and forgiving. SRAM's GX Eagle AXS drivetrain and Code RSC brakes are the cherries on top, delivering crisp, wireless shifting and unstoppable stopping power, respectively. As if it couldn’t get any better, the DT Swiss XMC 1501 wheels are not just light; they are the perfect accomplice in crime, ready to withstand whatever you throw at them. In short, the Spectral 125 CF 9 is Canyon's flag planted firmly in the fun department. It's a testament to what happens when you mix premium components with cutting-edge design. Riding this bike isn’t just about blasting through trails; it’s an experience, turning every ride into an adrenaline-pumping session of pure joy. As for warranties, Canyon sticks to their reputation, promising peace of mind alongside their top-tier offerings. Whether you’re into sending jumps, shredding technical descents, or just enjoying a day out on the trails, the Spectral 125 CF 9 is your ticket to a great time.

Alan Muldoon

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
