The Spectral:ON CF 9 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.
As a component giant, Shimano is mostly known for its dominant position in bicycle gears. But with the EP8, the Japanese are clearly showing that they can look beyond their own plate too. No matter how steep or technical the climb is: the Shimano motor makes it conquerable! At the same time, the drive provides a natural feeling while riding with a gentle power delivery. The average range can become a problem especially for long mountain bike rides.

At a glance

The most importanten ratings of the Spectral:ON CF 9 in comparison to the competitor bikes of following categorie: (7000) .

Even the most treacherous downhill runs are effortlessly handled by the high-end Fox chassis. Thanks to the four pistons and large brake rotors, the Shimano brakes decelerate so well that they can be called an anchor. You can't brake any better than that. Those who live for premium quality will love the transmission and parts of this EMTB. Here Canyon cranks up the bling-bling factor to 11. 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.
