Important safety note from Canyon: the Spectral:ON CF / CFR and Torque:ON CF models may have damage to the battery

but better water tightening of inside components…..

I sure hope so.

My spectral cf8 has been a nightmare with water issues. With a sealed battery. I washed the bike often and it shut down 2-3 times ever ride. Stopped washing it and it stayed running for 2 months before wet weather hit, and I had to clean mud off chain every ride. Which brought back shutting off mid ride issues again. Sometimes its the battery shutting down, if going up hill and It shuts off. Batter spits out the overdraw amp code. When coasting, i think its the computer wires were they go into the motor. My buddies have had less issues with same bike. Shimano replaced ep 801 once trying to fix it, and wiring harness between battery and motor once. Ill be happy with a new battery. Hopefully it solves the main issue of shutting down. Sure would like to enter a few races

Check the wiring between motor and speed sensor. Mine had a small cut and when it was wet it caused errors.

Not yet, I'm waiting for the inevitable, "expected April/May" email.

, "expected April/May" email.

they paid us for 2 month wait, and are taking 4 or more months

Just checked in with Canyon - they told me, notifications will be sent out in the next two weeks and they "will" be delivered before the month end.... doubt it!

On another note: I have a friend who is moving aboard - he has a 2 year old black Spectral:On CF9 in XL (he's very tall). He rode it once so its literally brand new - he wants to get rid of it.

Bike will come with the new battery once it arrives! Let me know if anyone is interested in buying it and throw a sensible offer across. Am based out of London, England.

The status of the Spectral On on Canyon's website has recently changed from 'available soon' to 'sold out'. With the promised arrival of the new battery design, this is rather strange. On the contrary, one would expect the model to become re-orderable.
