Canyon’s all-mountain Spectral gets a completely new short-travel enduro sibling with this Spectral 125, breaking down the assumed correlation between MTB travel and technical trail capability. Canyon likes to call it ‘rowdy’ or ‘poppy’. But no buzzwords are really needed, because this new Spectral 125 is simply a fun-to-ride mountain bike that combines all their best modern slack geometry & bulletproof frame construction tech with ‘just enough’ active & progressive suspension to give the new bike a playful ride that you can take from local trails to the bikepark.
Canyon Spectral 125 short-travel, progressive all-mountain bike
The original 150/160mm Spectral already blurred the lines between technical trail and enduro riding, and the new Mullet version leaned more towards the aggressive side of things. But really unless you live in the big mountains or near a bikepark, that’s still probably more travel than many mountain bikers truly need. The trouble is… the Spectral is actually a lot of fun to ride. (I know, I’ve been riding one or the other since last summer.)
So Canyon’s mountain bike engineers decided to make a mini-Spectral. And they designed it to be ridden just like you would the longer travel bike.

Built for mountain bikers who want a modern fit, handling & progressive suspension, but just don’t need a long-travel enduro bike. This is a bike that dials it back a bit to give you more trail feedback, a bit more challenge in the tough stuff, and more fun to pump and play around on your local singletrack.
But don’t call it underbiking – this is nothing like riding a gravel bike on trails. Because, while the travel is shorter, the Spectral 125 is no less capable.
No holding back, and no compromises.
