The Spectral:ON CF 7 is one of the most desirable models on the market. Why? The downtube with its slim silhouette can accommodate batteries of up to 900 watt-hours. The motor, which is rotated slightly upward, creates space so that the battery can sit as low as possible in the bike. The Canyon developers know: A low center of gravity is essential for good handling on the trail.
Shimano has become the biggest component manufacturer for bicycles thanks to its gear, pedal and brake components. It's clear that the Japanese want to shape the E-Bike trend from this dominant market position. Steep ramps are no problem for the Shimano motor. Additionally, the Shimano EP8 stands out with a well-rounded riding feeling and a harmonious power delivery. Fans of XXL tours are greatly restricted by the Spectral:ON CF 7 with only an average range.

At a glance

The most importanten ratings of the Spectral:ON CF 7 in comparison to the competitor bikes of following categorie: (4000) .

On rough terrain, the Spectral:ON CF 7 with its mediocre Rock Shox chassis lacks bit of control. At the brakes, Canyon middle class two pistons brakes by Magura are used. The drivetrain and components have a subordinate but not to be neglected importance when it comes to EMTB. Even the bike brand product managers know this and don't aim too high with mostly average components. In view of the high reach value, it becomes clear: The main frame is long. However, the generous reach is compensated for by a very short stem. This way, Canyon creates a good weight distribution between the wheels and a balanced handling.

Value for money

Conclusion


Expirience with the Canyon Spectral:ON CF 7

With a simple chassis and a middle ground brake system, the Spectral:ON CF 7 definitely has weaknesses. Nevertheless, it remains a solid all-rounder with a wide range of abilities , thanks to an extremely good geometry and a good motor. With 6 years of warranty, nothing stands in the way of a long-term relationship.
