CANYON SPECTRAL 29 CF 8.0
£4,149 / 29in / canyon.com
As winner of our Trail Bike of the Year test two years in a row, the Canyon Spectral was the 27.5in bike against which all others were measured. Then, rightly or wrongly, we took the tough decision to make our 2019 Trail Bike test exclusively 29in. With no 29er trail bike in its line-up, this left Canyon out in the cold and instantly scuppered any chance of the Spectral making it three Trail Bike titles in a row.
One year on and Canyon is back and it’s come out swinging. The new Spectral 29 isn’t simply the old bike reborn
