The Canyon Spectral:ON CFR LTD’s power is delivered through the Shimano EP 8 motor to mullet wheels, and 155mm rear/150 front suspension. SRAM Code RSC brakes do your stopping, and SRAM AXS with Flight Attendant system keeps everything moving forward and bouncing about as you’d want.
Three things I liked
- More lively than many full fat ebikes, it feels fast and agile, and happy to get air
- Point and pedal. The bike just works, and Flight Attendant helps keep it that way
- Excellent traction – there’s never any need to wrestle the bike
Three things I’d change
- So. Many. Batteries. I hope you’re more organised than me!
- The integrated handlebar and stem combo is stiff and removes flexibility in the set up
- The charger cover could be neater for a bike at this price
