Canyon Spectral:ON with Shimano EP8

Canyon e-MTBs are built for those who like nothing better than the joy of sharing adventures with friends and like-minded riders. They ride to escape their busy lives, re-energise and unwind, all while challenging themselves and pushing their skills to the limit.

The company’s new Spectral:ON is for riders who want a playful and agile ride that transforms the way you think about e-MTBs.

The Spectral:ON is all clean lines, cutting-edge trail geometry and perfect balance, helped in no small part by the compact nature of our EP8 motor. Everything combines perfectly to provide the ultimate in performance, shaking up the competition and inspiring you to keep riding further.

But the real pleasure is in the handling – ride it and you’ll experience a new kind of joy. The EP8 opens up a whole new world of mountain biking. Your pedal power is quadrupled and this, combined with a lightweight carbon frame, means you can cruise the trails for longer, and tackle those killer climbs where you normally get off and push.

The Spectral:ON will transform your all-day adventures with your fellow riders, giving you extended singletrack sessions to escape the stresses that everyday life brings, boost your mental and physical wellbeing and, most importantly, experience adrenaline-fueled fun like never before.

The Spectral:ON also forges a new path not just for e-MTBs but for MTBs in general due to its inclusion of a USB-C charging port, which ensures you have access to power for your phone, lights or GPS unit if you run out of juice.

But don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what German motocross star Ken Roczen says about the new Spectral:ON:

“I really like the Spectral:ON’s mullet set up. You get some of the playfulness of a 27.5 but the control of a 29er. I was also blown away by the battery life of the new Shimano battery. You can get in so much riding on just one charge.“

Alongside the Spectral:ON, Canyon has launched the Neuron:ON and Torque:ON for those looking for adventure, and the Grand Canyon:ON for leisure cyclists. All come equipped with our compact EP8 motor resulting in reduced weight combined with advanced power, giving you more all-day adventures in the saddle.

Thanks to our innovative and high-performance EP8, the Canyon e-MTB range gets the power it deserves, meaning it’s POWER:ON, GAME:ON all day long.
