Spectral:ON CF 9 components
Fork
Canyon Spectral:ON CF 9 2023 e-bike is equipped with the Fox Performance Elite Float 38 fork, and has 160mm travel. Bike forks absorb the shocks and give you a smooth and pleasant ride. In short, you should always ensure you have a good fork when purchasing a bike.
Rear Shock
The shock that’s installed on this e-bike is Fox Float X Performance Evolution, with a travel distance of 155mm. Rear shocks improve riding comfort and give you greater control over all terrains. To sum up, always consider getting a bike that has a rear shock as well.
Wheels
The Spectral:ON CF 9 2023 e-bike is equipped with 29″ aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. With 29″ wheels, bumps will feel lighter and you’ll gain more speed on descends, compared to smaller wheel-sized bikes. However, 29″ wheels will make your e-bike react slower to obstacles you may encounter.
Brakes
When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The Spectral:ON CF 9 has Hydraulic Disc brakes. With Hydraulic Disc brakes, you’ll be able to stop on a dime, even in wet or icy conditions. To sum up, these are ideal for anyone.
Dropper post
The Canyon model is also equipped with a dropper post. A dropper post is a must-have these days if you’re riding anything remotely technical. The main benefit of a dropper post is increased safety while riding. As mentioned above, the lever system allows you to quickly move the saddle out of the way when approaching descents or trail obstacles.
