Greetings from sunny Worthing!
Just wondering whether to take the plunge or not, if I do, I have my eyes on a Canyon Spectral On. Anyone got one of those?

Loving the forum and the vids btw

Hi Tony, welcome to the forum.

I don't think we've seen a single Spectal:On owner here yet. I know that there were some delays. Any owners out there?

Take the plunge - doesn't matter what the bike is, you will have a lot of fun on an e-mtb, for me they are more about opening up new areas and ways to ride, more time spent doing the fun stuff on your bike, and for me at least getting me out more locally on my bike than anything else

Hi folks, another newbie here, potential spectral on purchaser, my last 2 bikes have both been size large yet when i put my measurements into the canyon size guide it’s telling me i need a medium which i’m a bit wary of. I was hoping a few kind souls might have taken delivery of theirs and would be willing to let a stranger get a leg over....... oooo eeeerrr.

Very much this!

I’m riding more and having way more than I did before I got my ebike. Instead of just slogging round the waymarked trails to the known, and often ridden, good descents I have the range to go looking for interesting stuff elsewhere and still get in the old favourites at the end of the day.

 

[Tony]

Yes, R120 and Doomanic, this is what I want from my e bike, to discover new trails and get out more. Just waiting now for the new credit card !

Yes, me too....most other bikes I'm on the cusp of M and L, so I have a choice, but canyon seem to definitely be a M for me, L too large when looking at the reach and tt. I've ridden a Levo in M and L and both were fine, may need to test some others.

a riding buddy had a strive in medium a couple of years back and when i had a go on that it felt way too cramped, also some folk saying the size guide isn’t that accurate - i might just go for the large and keep my fingers crossed.

Hi Tony from another Worthing resident! I have an e-genius purchased from Quest which I love. I believe he is selling his demo 720...might be worth a test ride?

Hello fellow seasider! Thanks for the heads up, how you liking the Scott. Is it your first ebike?

 

[DeanWnchestr]

I'm getting very close to my first eMTB purchase, and the Spectral:ON 8.0 is my favorite so far!

My 7.0 should be here next week fingers crossed.

 

[R120]

I would really like to see some owners reviews of the Canyon, still never seen one in the wild

 

[spr0cket]

I ordered an 8 last week, but not sure I can wait till September. Not helped by the fact that there's a Merida I could be enjoying far sooner.

[DeanWnchestr]

Ok, I ordered my spectral on 8.0 too. Size L in the green glow color.
Emails says, it will already be shipped this week!

Exciting times ahead !

 

[Carlos Muralhas]

Hello there. With Spectral:ON you just can't go wrong.
The Canyon Spectral:ON is indeed one of the very exciting ebikes of 2018... I liked it so much that despite going for a Merida 900e eBike I ordered the canyon saddle for it and bought a 29" front wheel to put on my Merida. Just checking boxes for stuff I like from Canyon Spectral:ON on my merida eBike

 

[DeanWnchestr]

My Spectral:ON is being build and packaged at the Canyon factory right now! Hopefully the shipping wont take to long, hahah..

Edit: I got the shipping notification 1 hour ago

 

[DeanWnchestr]

Canyon just called me: day of delivery is on Tuesday ?

...maybe it's because of country origin I think he's in Germany

you sure with a username dean winchester?

 

[DeanWnchestr]

Yes I'm in Germany! But I also ordered a size L and Green Glow color. That was the only size, which was available right away. All others for the Spectral:ON 8.0 are "scheduled" for September. XS and S for Stealth Black are sold out!! Size S for Green Glow is sold out as well..

I will create a new Thread on arrival, and deliver lots of pictures

 

[SteveVentoux]

Be great to hear your thoughts, looking forward to the post

 

[DeanWnchestr]

Tomorrow is the day of delivery!!!!
I'm already super excited, and I hope it does arrive somewhat early in the morning

 

[dwr budr]

mine should leave the factory either today, tomorrow or the day after that bit the tracking is still only showing as confirmed so i’m not holding my breath !

 

[Dusty]

I shall wait for your honest opinions and reviews

 

[drjarvis2003]

I have a feeling that there will be a new strive and strive on, next year and that's the one I will wait for.
