Canyon Spectral CF 9.0<\/strong> is the new e-bike for an old friend of cyclists. Canyon<\/strong> is a well-known company that is famous for making all kinds of bikes. Road bikes, mountain bikes, and now, they are fully interested in the e-bikes <\/strong>models<\/a>. We know that the Spectral<\/strong> is an already known bike from Canyon<\/strong>, but now they switched some things to make it a good e-bike<\/strong>. Ready to know why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A quick gaze through the Canyon Spectral<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before we get into details, we need to talk about our first gaze at this bike. Once you see it, you feel like you are watching something familiar, and it is. The Spectral<\/strong> is a bike that we have seen before in the Canyon <\/strong>catalog, but this time is different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the company, this e-bike<\/strong> is their flagship, and we couldn\u2019t agree more with them. Imagine they took one of the most incredible mountain bikes they have ever made, but they added a powerful engine with a fantastic battery. If you might be wondering what it would look like, then you need to take a deep look at the Canyon Spectral CF 9.0.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This e-bike<\/strong> is pretty lightweight and has some of the best components we can find in the worldwide market. Are you looking for a Shimano Battery? Check. Are you looking for some FOX suspension? Check. Ready to know more about this bike? Of course, we are!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shimano: Canyon\u2019s bet for power<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For most people, Shimano<\/strong> is the perfect example of what an excellent component is. They have delivered many pieces for bikes, and now they are looking to take over the e-bikes market<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first thing we need to know about the Canyon Spectral CF 9.0<\/strong> is the motor. The Shimano Steps E800<\/strong> is a pretty powerful engine for 2021 e-bikes. It has a maw power output of 250 W with a 70Nm torque<\/strong>, which makes a pretty impressive motor. Also, it weighs less than 3Kg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But how would they make this motor work? Well, it\u2019s simple; a Shimano battery<\/strong>. Canyon added a Shimano BT-E8035-L 504Wh <\/strong>battery for this e-bike. Why is it so important? It is not only because of the 504Wh<\/strong> power: It is a lithium-Ion battery<\/strong> with IPX5 water resistance<\/strong>, and you can add an adapter to charge it whenever you need to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You need to know more things about the Canyon Spectral CF 9.0<\/strong> before we talk about the other components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Small and easy to use display<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We have seen in a lot of e-bikes that they added a kind of small display to control the assistance levels, check the battery level, and so on. Some of them have a medium display, some of them have a kind of small display, and then there\u2019s the Spectral. Which, by the way, has a Shimano display<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can find the display on the handlebar, <\/strong>but it\u2019s pretty tiny. You can even think that it is gone the first time you look at it. Something important about this display is that you can connect it to your phone or preferred device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, you have the chance to enjoy up to 5 assistance levels that you will control however you want to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Canyon Spectral CF 9.0: A mix of powerful gear<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We already know Canyon<\/strong> bet for Shimano to power up this e-bike, but what about the rest of it? What are we going to see in the brakes, rear shock, and so on? It\u2019s time to directly look at those parts that make this one of the most fantastic bikes from Canyon<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They decided to add components from some of the most famous companies (Leaving Shimano aside). We are talking about FOX, Reynolds, and Maxxis, but there is a lot of Shimano stuff in this potent mix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
