Spectral 125

Canyon launched the Spectral 125 in 2022 as a deliberately shorter-travel sibling to the 150/140 mm Spectral trail bike, aimed at riders whose home trails were closer to flowy singletrack than to enduro race stages. With 125 mm of rear travel paired to a 140 mm fork (or 145 mm in some specs), the bike inherited the Spectral's geometry DNA—64-degree head tube, 76.5-degree seat tube, mullet or full-29er configurations via flip chip—but in a noticeably more efficient pedalling package. The aluminum Spectral 125 AL starts around €2,299 in 2025-2026, while carbon Spectral 125 CF trims top out around €4,499 with SRAM AXS Transmission. The platform fills the gap between the cross-country Lux Trail and the gravity-leaning Spectral, and is one of the clearer examples of Canyon segmenting trail bikes by intended terrain rather than by component spec alone.
