Canyon has yet another new trail bike, the Spectral 125. As the name suggests, it\u2019s closely related to the 150 or 160mm Spectral bikes<\/a>, but comes with much less travel<\/a> \u2013 125mm, in fact. <\/span><\/p>\n

This is paired with modern mountain bike geometry<\/a>, 140mm travel forks and lightweight but aggressively treaded tyres. Five models will be offered at launch.<\/span><\/p>\n

Those familiar with the Canyon line-up might ask how it fits into the brand\u2019s family of bikes. After all, the Lux Trail<\/a> has 120mm of travel, while the Neuron<\/a> has 130mm.<\/span><\/p>\n

Canyon says the Lux Trail<\/a> is for those looking for light weight and speed uphill, while the Neuron gives the best balance between climbing and descending performance, for a comfortable all-day trail ride.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
