I didn't think we would see a new Spectral:ON in 2022 but Canyon have responded quickly to the market changing and bought a big product. All carbon frame and most importantly a 900Wh battery. This brings the climbing ability of the Spectral up and now it's a serious player in the market.
The new custom Canyon battery is backed by a Shimano service warranty which is a huge advantage - you can get it serviced anywhere with Shimano support.
The 150, 155 (front and rear suspension) seems like an unusual choice. This bike is screaming out for a 160mm or even 170mm front fork and Canyon say you can do it!
The CFR is an expensive bike from an online-only bike company but the all carbon frame looks great and the weight is very impressive.
