The new Spectral:ON CF 9 combines high motor power with a lightweight design. The Avinox M2S delivers up to 150 Newton-meters of torque and 1,500 watts of peak power. The 700-watt-hour battery is sleekly integrated into the down tube. Despite these performance figures, the bike weighs just 20.8 kilograms.

Canyon has completely redesigned the fourth generation. The carbon frame weighs 2.9 kilograms and meets the requirements of Category 4e for enduro use. The Spectral:ON comes standard with a 29-inch front wheel and a 27.5-inch rear wheel. A flip chip allows for conversion to two 29-inch wheels.

An overview of the most important new features

The progressive geometry is based on the Spectral CF and the Strive:ON enduro race bike. A 64-degree head angle is designed to ensure a smooth ride, while the steep 78.5-degree seat angle enables efficient climbing. The chainstay length is tailored to the respective frame size.

The rear triangle has also been redesigned. An adjusted suspension curve, along with higher anti-squat and anti-rise values, are designed to improve pedaling efficiency, traction, and control. The stiff main frame ensures precise steering, while the more flexible rear triangle reduces vibrations.

Despite its enormous power, the Avinox drive system provides smooth and quiet assistance. Full peak power is available in all five assistance modes. Maintenance-friendly cable routing also makes servicing easier.

Four new models between October and January

The Spectral:ON CF 9 was unveiled on October 13. Three additional models will follow by January 2027. Pre-orders begin on December 4, and shipping starts on January 19.
