The Spectrail:ON CFR electric mountain bike offers increased range and capability plus a lively and dynamic ride feel

Pros

Lively, dynamic ride charastics, even with the 900Wh battery. Increased capability and range. Sleek design. Choose the between 720Wh or 900Wh batteries

Cons

Thin casing tyres simply don’t cut it. More steps involved to remove the battery. Shimano EP8 motor rattles when coasting.

Prone to faulty charging port

Pros

Carbon cockpit visually impresses and has perfect ergonomics
Independent, attractive design with great balance and modern geometry
Significantly stiffer rear end compared to the previous model
Latest cell technology in the battery and capacity of up to 900 Wh, enormous range

Cons

Carbon cockpit - if it doesn't fit, handlebars and stem need to be replaced
Rear tire with Maxxis EXO+ carcass not very durable
No local distributor nearby if problems arise

Great for tamer trails, but its potential is limited by conservative geometry and a raw-feeling ride

Pros

Impressive battery range
light weight
supportive suspension
drool-worthy spec for the most part

Cons

Raw ride feel
conservative geometry with a lack of adjustment
tyre choice
