Precision-Engineered Short-Travel Bikes

Canyon Releases the Spectral 125 Bike in Five Variations

— February 19, 2022 — Lifestyle
German road bike manufacturer Canyon has launched the Spectral 125 -- nicknamed the 'Swiss Army Bike' -- a slack and aggressive short-travel bike that update's the brand's popular Spectral platform.

Boasting a robust yet lightweight frame, the Spectral 125 comes equipped with a 64-degree head tube angle for optimal all-terrain performance. In addition, it features a 2,500-gram full-carbon chassis while still delivering a smaller, more responsive ride. Canyon will be offering the Swiss Army Bike in five unique Spectral 125 models. These include three carbon models and two alloy versions.

A standout model is the Spectral 5, which features an alloy frame, RockShox 35 Gold fork, a Shimano Deore groupset, and tubeless-compatible tires and rims. The most premium offering, however, is the Spectral 125 CF 9, which comes equipped with a wireless GX AXS transmission, Fox Factory suspension, and DT Swiss XMC 1501 carbon wheels.
