Canyon Spectral

Pros

• Canyon. The spectral is a great climber and no compromises on downhill.
• Built him up a Canyon Spectral with 27.5 wheels and he’s now 13 and his riding has improved so much.
• 3 years ago I got Canoyon spectral and really liked it.
• If I was worried about weight at that budget, I'd probly get a carbon Canyon Spectral.
• also worth noting Spectral is the most adjustable with a mullet config and i think a separate chip outside of the mullet adjustment.

Cons

• I have a 23 fluid a3. It’s my second bike (canyon spectral before this)
• For example, claiming a Canyon Spectral is meant for rougher terrain than a YT Jeffsy, because it has a 64 instead of a 65 degree head angle.
• Canyon is needlessly slack and long.
• I have looked at the 2024 Orbea Occam SL H10, Canyon Neuron/Spectral lines mostly (waiting for some nice discount or used bike).
