Canyons new lightweight Spectral:ONfly eMTB combines some of the best all-mountain tech to create an ebike that should be a blast to ride on everything from local singletrack to big mountain epic trails. The proven all-mountain versatility of the Spectral family with a full carbon frame and 150/160mm travel. Simple, adjustable, and effective Keep It Stable steering stabilization. And the lightweight powerhouse of TQs compact HPR50 ebike powertrain with a light 360Wh internal battery and the option for an external range extender. Canyon Spectral:ONfly lightweight all-mountain trail eMTB(Photos by Rupert Fowler/Canyon)Canyon designed the Spectral:ONfly with one goal in mind: Create a [e]bike that blends the poppy, nimble, and confident handling of the best trail bikes with the extra boost and speed of an e-bike. The result is a 150mm travel all-rounder that sports a 2.65kg (5.8lb) carbon-fiber e-MTB chassis capable of enduro-level riding. With complete e-MTB bikes weighing as little as 18.1kg (40lb), the Spectral:ONfly is lightweight, yes, but its no flimsy pushover.How will it ride?Let me start off by saying that I havent had the chance to ride this ebike yet, but it looks especially promising. Im a long-time fan of the Spectral platform for its geometry & suspension versatility from classic trail rides to full enduro. And this addresses the only minor downside Ive seen in the latest generation, going back to a longer travel 160mm fork to balance the fact that you will certainly get this ebike to the top of some wild descents. And the TQ ebike drive system is undeniably one of the best on the market. At the moment, no other system I have ridden can match TQ for a natural ride feel, nor TQs level of pedal-assist customization that allows the rider to tailor motor support to how you actually want the ebike to feel. (Geek out with me a bit on that customization here on a different TQ eMTB.)And KIS system tucked in behind the TQ toptube display this simple but unique steering stabilization system is pretty cool. Ive ridden it on four bikes now, and have one at home. It truly changes how you ride a mountain bike. It really delivers more confidence & control at high speeds, through rough stuff, and in the air. Although it does make you slightly relearn bike handling at slow speeds in the steeps. Its fun, its weird, and you can always dial it back or even disconnect it if you dont feel like its improving your ride. But its surely worth everyone trying.2024 Canyon Spectral:ONfly Pricing, options & availabilityThe new Canyon Spectral:ONfly range includes four complete all-mountain ebike builds.2024 Canyon Spectral:ONfly CF LTDThe absolute top-of-the-line, and the one best suited to emptying your pocketbook is this 9000 Canyon Spectral:ONfly CF LTD.
