OK...I know that links says the 'Version 2.0 of the Spectral ON is 1kg lighter', but I think someone should tell Canyon to get it right, cuz the 2020 Spectral 7.0 with an E8000 and a 504wh battery tips the scales at 22.15kg and the 2021 model with the EP8 and a 630wh battery lumbers in at 23.22kg!!!
So it does....
Battery
Shimano STEPS 630-Wh Battery
Shimano's highest-capacity Lithium-Ion battery, IPX5 water resistant, 3.7 Kg, adaptor for external charging not included
I missed that when I was looking over the specs on the 2021 model. However...I stand by my opinion that the 2020...
Possibly...but for the vast majority of non-shredding eBike users, paying 7-800€ more for the same bike with an arguably ‘better’ motor is gonna be a tough sale. Hell...Shimano still markets the E7000 and bike makers are still dropping it into some very expensive bikes...yes, I’m looking...
Well...I was kinda surprised with Canyon’s decision to go with a 504wh battery in both the Torque and the Spectral, but I get it as a weight saving thing. I mean, I’ve never burned through a battery yet on my Spectral, cuz I’m not doing 5+ hour rides! And honestly, if you’re not a guy who does...
I dunno...aside from the obvious EP8, it looks to me like Canyon is teasing nothing more than new Shocks & Forks, cuz unless they upped the rear travel, that Spectral frame looks exactly like last years.....?
