Canyon unveils the Spectral Mullet with K.I.S. steering assistant
The groundbreaking Keep-It-Stable system - an invention by Syntace founder Jo Klieber - is based on a minimalist steering centering system whose counterforce can be adjusted with high precision thanks to the clever design.
With specially manufactured springs and durable synthetic fibre bands in the top tube as well as a sophisticated cam ring on the steerer tube, the system provides a revolutionary riding experience that leaves previous steering stabilization concepts far behind.
From active support in slow, tight corners and on steep climbs to better line stability on loose terrain, this system represents a real quantum leap in the mountain bike world. Perfectly integrated into the frame and protected from damage caused by over-centering, Keep It Stable is completely maintenance-free - and the system weighs just 100 grams. What's more, the centering force can be adjusted to suit individual preferences and different conditions.
But enough theory. Since its launch, Keep It Stable has been tested at some of the toughest mountain bike races, and Troy Brosnan of the Canyon CLLCTV Factory Team rode it to a top-10 finish at the UCI Downhill World Cup in Lenzerheide.
The latest Spectral model with Keep It Stable is based on the same category 4 Enduro frame as the Spectral 29 and impresses with absolutely indestructible equipment for real trail shredders. The new GX Eagle groupset from Sram delivers smooth, wireless shifting performance with a robust and precise "Full Mount" rear derailleur. High-quality RockShox components are used for the suspension at the front and rear: the Lyrik Select+ fork with 160 millimetres and the Super Deluxe Coil Select+ shock with 150 mm travel. DT Swiss EX511 rims with Maxxis Assegai and DHRII tires ensure maximum grip and rolling performance, which are kept in check by powerful SRAM Code R brakes with four cylinders.
The new Spectral Mullet K.I.S. is the first bike with Keep It Stable available from Canyon USA.
For those who want to take mountain bike handling in a new direction, the Spectral Mullet K.I.S. will be available exclusively at canyon.com from July 18, 2023 for € 4999
