Presumably you're looking for a replacement for your dropper post remote?
What model Canyon bike have you got?
Does it fit onto the brake lever assembly or just clamp onto the handlebar? Just Google Wolftooth Shimano i-spec ii for some pics of that version.

I’m hopefully getting a 2019 spectral:eek:n 7.0 in the next 2 weeks and I had the wolf tooth on my M1 Spitzing but that had Magura brakes! I’m fairly sure it mounts with the brake lever but really I have no clue ?

Looking on your bikes spec sheet it shows Shimano SH BR M8020 calipers, if you look on Shimano's website you'll see the recommended brake levers use the I spec 2 mounting as Scipy said;
BL-M8000

The woolftooth dropper lever will not work with the E8000 controller that comes on the Spectral On, as they will interfere with each other. You will need to change the motor controller to the e7000 version if you want to use the wolftooth, especially if utilising the brake clamp

R120 is quite correct. I have a Spectral:ON 7 and was going to get a Wolftooth remote along with the E7000 or E6000 controller. After riding the bike 2 hours for the first time yesterday, I decided no need for it. I like the E8000 controller and the dropper post remote is not to bad just get it rotated to your liking for better thumb placement.

Great bike by the way! I was smiling the entire ride!

Yeah thank you, I have ordered a E6000 but I’m not sure if I prefer the e7000 now, I’ll probably end up returning the e6000

Thanks G! I can’t wait to get mine on order, I can’t find much that beats in on spec, looks and price! Love the sound of the unique wheel set up, only heard good things about Shimano e8000 along with matching Shimano drivetrain and brakes and fox suspension and I’m on the heavier side so hopefully will benefit from the 36mm Stantions!

The E7000 controller is the only Shimano controller that allows you to position the other contols without having potential interference issues.
