I am 2 months into owning a Canyon Spectral:ON. I could not find a good way to back pedal to clean and lube the chain so I made the tool below.

The tool is a short piece of wood with two bolts thru it. I used a long carriage bolt which I wrapped with duct tape. This bolt fits in the center hole of the crank. The shorter bolt fits thru the chain ring and I used heat shrink to prevent scratching the chain ring. The scrap of 1/8 inch wood fits between the short bolt and the crank arm and you pull it out when you are done to make removing the tool easy. The picture below shows the tool assembled for use.
