A whopping 150 millimetres of travel and yet the fourth best uphill performance in the test. You can tell from the spec of the Spectral that someone has really thought about women.

As much function as possible with as little weight as possible. Fork, shock, brakes, dropper post - the Canyon leaves nothing to be desired. The total weight of just over 13 kilos is easy to pedal uphill with the 28 mm chainring, especially as the shock can be adjusted in three stages using the remote lever. Downhill, the bike with its generous suspension travel provides a lot of security, but remains lively and agile in handling.


ConclusionThanks to its top equipment, the Canyon is unbeatable in this test field. For riders with sporty singletrail ambitions.


AlternativeIf you add another 500 euros, you can get the Spectral WMN AL 8.0 with the X01 Eagle (1 x 12 gears).
