29er frame a year ago<\/a>, the direct-sales brand has now expanded the Spectral range to include alloy versions of the 29er, as well as a completely updated 27.5in bike, in both materials, and a pair of mullet (mixed wheelsize) options too.<\/p>\n<p>The new bikes tie in nicely with the CF 29 models launched last year, with 150mm of travel at the back, paired with 160mm forks, along with updated geometry.<\/p>\n<p>Canyon\u2019s confidence in its trail bike shows too, with them rated for use at EWS races.<\/p>\n<ul><li><a

Immediate Media<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<p>The 27.5in carbon frames take lessons from the 29er, and have been adapted for the smaller wheels with <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.bikeradar.com\/features\/the-ultimate-guide-to-bike-geometry-and-handling\/&quot;\">geometry<\/a> to suit.<\/p>\n<p>Much like the CF 29, there\u2019s geometry adjustment via a flip-chip that steepens (or slackens) angles by 0.5 degrees and adds or subtracts 8mm from the bottom bracket height.<\/p>\n<p>So why <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.bikeradar.com\/mtb\/mountain-bike-wheel-sizes-26in-650b-and-29in-explained\/&quot;\">three wheel size options<\/a>? Well, Canyon reckons the 29er is more confident, more stable and has more grip, all thanks to the bigger wheels. However, the 27.5 bike is more agile and precise, and has a more playful \u2018character\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, the mullet version gets the front end benefits of the big wheel \u2013 rollover abilities and grip \u2013 while the smaller wheel at the back gives the bike more agility than the full 29er achieves.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, smaller riders who want the control of a 29er might not get buzzed on their backsides as much on the mullet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our first look at the Spectral CF 29 launched last year<\/strong><\/p>\n<iframe title=\"&quot;2021\" canyon=\"\" spectral=\"\" trail=\"\"

Spectral AL 5 is the entry-level model.<\/span><\/figcaption><span class=\"&quot;im-image-caption&quot;\"> <i>Roo Fowler \/ Canyon<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<p>This means the alloy frames have been designed from the ground up, without having to entirely match the organic lines of the carbon frame.<\/p>\n<p>Tubes have lower radius bends in them and, overall, the tubes are straighter, which helps give the right balance of stiffness and weight.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s an expectation that the alloy bikes will offer better value than their carbon counterparts, and as such features like flip-chip geometry adjustments aren\u2019t included.<\/p>\n<p>However, Canyon saw fit to give the alloy bikes the seat angle from the carbon bikes\u2019 steep setting (76.5 degrees) and the head angle from the carbon\u2019s slack setting (64 degrees) \u2013 the best of both worlds.<\/p>\n<h2>An easy life<\/h2>\n<p>As we saw with the CF 29 last year, pivot hardware is replaceable in the carbon frames, so that damage to the frame\u2019s main tubes can\u2019t be mangled if you make a mistake when spannering.<\/p>\n<p>The alloy frames don\u2019t get replaceable hardware, though, they get steel inserts
