In the world of electric mountain bikes (MTB), Canyon has always been a flagship brand. With the release of its new Canyon Spectral 2025the German brand is venturing into the lightweight electric mountain bike segment while promising high-level performance for Enduro enthusiasts.
A lightweight yet robust design
The Canyon Spectral stands out first of all for its weight: with only 18,1 kgit stands out as one of the lightest in its category. This feat is made possible by the use of lightweight but robust materials, including a carbon fiber framewhich weighs only 2,65 kg. This design allows for smoother and more agile handling on rough terrain while maintaining great stability during fast and technical descents.
Unlike other Enduro models, Canyon has opted for a suspension of 150 mm at the front and rear, which guarantees optimum riding comfort while preserving the responsiveness of the bike. With a “mullet” configuration – a front wheel of 29 inches and a rear wheel of 27.5 inches —, the Spectral provides better stability and increased responsiveness during rapid changes of direction.
Cutting-edge technology for high-performance driving
One of the great innovations of this model lies in its engine. The Spectral is equipped with the TQ HPR50a compact and lightweight electric motor that develops 50 Nm of torque. Unlike other noisy and intrusive electric motors, this one stands out for its quiet operationthus allowing a more enjoyable and immersive riding experience. In addition, this motor adapts directly to the cyclist’s cadence, rewarding the effort provided with proportional assistance, which considerably improves the feeling of control of the bike.
Autonomy and battery: a strategic compromise
With a battery of 360 Whthe Canyon Spectral is designed to maximize range while maintaining a low weight. However, some riders may find this capacity slightly lower for extended rides, especially on demanding terrain. To address this issue, Canyon offers a option Range Extender of 160 Wh which extends the range and makes the bike more versatile for longer adventures. This gives riders the flexibility to tailor their machine to their needs, without compromising weight or performance.
Four configurations for all budgets
The Canyon Spectral comes in four versions, offering a wide range of choices depending on the needs and budgets of cyclists. Here are the models offered:
