Canyon Spectral VS Canyon strive DECIDED | Jack Moir |

[@danielpelosi]

Dude, you could race a shopping cart down the hill and still podium 😂 . Love the channel 🤘

[@accordingtopreston]

One of the best technical comparisons I've ever seen on youtube, combined with sick riding. Best of luck this season!

[@moimoitv_]

Yoooo, thanks Man 👊🏻

[@countryseller]

When you first dropped in. I thought. Whoa. Jack’s mechanic is a total pinner! Didn’t realise till the end it was the party boi on the camera.

[@moimoitv_]

Haha yeah Tom goes good, but party boi is very fast!

[@tonyo5]

Such a refreshing way to watch you explain the differences on both of these “similar” 150 bikes. Clear and straightforward comparison. Well done mate and good luck come race day!

[@moimoitv_]

Thanks, was worried My point wouldn't come across properly 😅

[@soulzerosix]

Great insight Jack, thanks! This is was of the most interesting mtb videos I've ever watched. So good to see a pro racer's thought process. I would have never guessed one would choose the "older" geometry bike to race on, but it makes sense the way you explained it. If you could have Canyon make a custom frame just for you to race on what would the geo and travel be like? Also, since you like sharing your set up, can you do a video on tyre choice? What's your favourite tread and what changes do you do for different track conditions? Cheers & good luck at the races!

[@usernamwdrama]

That was rad, super interesting and props for telling it like it is without any BS. The pommy geeza piss take was gold, made me bleedin' larf guvna, do what, cor blimey. Roll on EWS #1.

[@moimoitv_]

Thanks M8. Haha I tried

[@nathanbrooks6423]

That was a solid explanation of geometry differences in both bikes and the way it changes which is more suitable in different circumstances. As a newbie it puts in perspective what you need to consider when looking for an all rounder to suit your local trails, when researching it’s easy to be hypnotised into thinking long and slack with steep STA is the best way, for a plodder like me who is never charging anything more than Glenrock, Awaba XC, Stromlo, Thredbo flow etc I am glad I went with ‘conservative’ geo. Shortish wheel base, 140/130, 66 HTA, 75 STA. Cheers for the vid, enjoying following your journey.

[@moimoitv_]

Thanks Mate 👊🏻

[@trexbowlingclub1960]

Thanks for this one and great to hear your thought process on your decision! And while so many wonder how an updated strive will look like, maybe there is no real reason to update it (a lot), since these two bike complement each other and offer distinct advantages... I'm also surprised that both bikes apparently work so well even with 180 mm in the front, but good to know how different you can set them up. Right now I'm happy with my 150 pike Speccy. Cheers and good luck!

[@moimoitv_]

Yeah My 150 pike Speccy is still My bike of choice for ripping the trails back home 😎. Thanks Mate!

[@lynxg4641]

Jack, when I started watching was very curious how this would go and have to say, you did a bang up job, especially with the breakdown of the ride characteristics of both bikes and how it can effect you depending on what sort of riding you're doing. Especially good point comparing racing DH to Enduro, where practice is limited, no sense running your own trails all the time and getting faster and faster, saying that slack & long is best, when that won't be the case on most Enduro races and will likely not remember every corner and need to make some split second reaction, decisions when you come on a tight corner you forgot about. Only thing I will say that I think is a bit "weird" is that you put a 180mm fork on both, which for the Strive is only 10mm than stock, whereas for the Spectral it's 30mm more travel, so the geo of the Strive would only have changed about 1/2 degree, whereas the Spectral would have changed by about 1.5 degrees, making it somewhere around 63 degrees HTA and the Strive a 64.5 degree HTA, which is actually closer to the Spectral geo with stock 150mm travel fork. To me this says you want geo of the Spectral or close, but based around 180mm travel in the fork with a less progressive suspension. Now this all really doesn't add up just saying travel, you need to have a specific A2C height to compare, because if you just compare the CF7 to CF8 version of the Spectral, the CF7 comes with a 150mm RS Lyric and the CF8 comes with a 160mm FOX F36, but then the Strive V7 comes with a 170mm Fox F36 and the V8 comes with a 170mm Lyric. So it seems on the Spectral they're changing travel to make sure the A2C matches, but not on the Strive? :-\

[@exhibitD79]

I think the GEO changes are more on the Strive as there is a spacer under the Head Tube (as many Canyon pro racers add) to increase H/A

[@moimoitv_]

@@exhibitD79 Yeahpp!

[@moimoitv_]

Thanks Mate, tried to describe what I felt, wasn't sure if that would translate properly to others. Yeah to make a long story short, basically I want to run 180 up front for the gnarly tracks over here.. It comes in at 63.1 on the spectral, and 64 on the strive. I didn't think this would be too bad as some bikes are running 63.5 HA stock. I really need to play around with angle sets on spectral to do this properly, didn't have the time or resources this year (have been on a pike for the last few months at home). I'm trying to see what is the better bike for me to race enduro on, and there is no chance I'll ever be running a 150 fork for that, so I can't match A2C of stock bike.

Mate, well done on the process to choose the best bike for the job and not just sticking to what you thought was going to be ideal. Ironically when I got a '20 Strive the Spectral was still 27.5 so it was the opposite to how they compare now!. Loving your vids, and good luck come raceday!

Jeese man. Trying to figure out the difference between the two bikes. Canyon hides the rear travel numbers on their site, took me minutes to figure out that they're both 150mm bikes. They decided to give them similar names too. Genius

Big respect to the man Jack though, from another tall glass of water. I'm 6'6 and I've copied over some of your setup to my bike (tall stack, narrow bars). Feels good man

[@moimoitv_]

[@TheyForcedMyHandLE]

Great review Jack! Sounds like a Spectral and a Strive both in the stable is the way to go.

[@meteormedia7021]

I'd have chosen the Spectral, mainly because I dislike the Shapeshifter thing on the Strive. It just seems like more unnecessarily complicated stuff that could go wrong during a race. Also the more modern geometry suits my riding a lot better. I'm good in the tight and twisty bits, but I want all the help and confidence I can get in the rough and fast sections.

[@moimoitv_]

Yeah nice Man. Sounds like a good pick for your style

[@barrydunne78]

[@180sxdeano]

yeah I just got my spectral, love it, was actual faster around my local XC track at kentlyn, than on my 2019 norco sight, but yeah I feel the length when I whip, almost stuffed up as I yanked well hard to get it out sideways!

[@chrisbennett5796]

Haha. 21.51 "I'm no enduro expert". So it's beginner's luck then? This is exactly what I was looking for. I have a 2020 Strive CF9.0, which I love. I've been thinking about how much it would cost me to make the jump to a Spectral CFR, and honestly, I can't afford it right now. I love the Strive for where I'm riding, and one of my local tracks got a mention, AWABA downhill. I love exploring new places though, and with your wise words (and hard work) Jack, I think I don't need to worry about jumping bikes. What I have is good for me, so not surprisingly, it just feels right on most stuff. The thing is with factory direct bikes, it is hard to get a test ride, so this hard earned info from a "non-enduro expert" (read, enduro world champ) is gold. Thanks Jack and all the best for this season. Hope the shoulder comes good.

Nice in depth comparison. Your theory on the limited run, timed laps was the smart way to go. Not just a pretty face after all eh? I got my strive about a year ago sometimes feel I may be over biked for the trails I ride. Ie youies, Bright etc in Vic. But the extra forgiveness has saved noob arse a few times. Figured any decent bike's a good enough bike at my level of riding.

Awesome insight on soooo many levels! This is what most riders I think want to know especially from someone who really can separate the benefits for key riding scenarios.

As it's the tech where you actually need to utilize your skills! Well for me anyway! Awesome video cheers! Braaaap! 🙌

[@jhonerik]

Really honest review that I have seen at the moment, mate can you give a piece of advice? I'm about to buy a Canyon (strive cf 7 or spectral 29 cf 7) but still can't decide which one of those buy it, I've been riding for over two years now, I usually ride trail and enduro depending on the mood of the day. Wich one can you say I would go for?

[@petnym]

Finally a really, really good comparison! And good choice, mate!! Surprised I found myself being nervous for what you would say in the end - since I couldn´t find any real good comparison when I chose myself this winter - but ended up choosing the 2021 Strive eventually for the technical, rocky and tight trails here on the west coast of Sweden. Thanks for confirming my theory! I would also like to add that in "click-mode" the Strive turns into a really good pedaling and climbing trail bike or even borderline XC bike, especially with lighter tires and if you slam the seat all the way forward. One bike to rule them all! :)

[@moimoitv_]

Yeah you can't really go wrong with either bike, but sounds like you made a good decision. I did forget to mention that in the video of the strive! but if I raced the spectral I would of ran a rear shock lockout anyway so would of been similar.

[@AlejandroGarciaIglesias]

Great insights Jack! Would you recommend the Spectral to a more beginner rider that wants to race the occasional local enduro since it seems it would trade in some comfort and some seconds in tighter/techier stuff but provide more safety/stability and have a bit of pop for fun due to the progressivity? Also if that's the case, would you recommend to the same rider to flip the chip to the high setting for tighter/techier or unknown tracks?

[@BroughtonVisuals]

awesome video mate, after my first year racing state enduros I can agree with so many of your points. long wheelbase does not mesh well with enduro 😂

[@philipp_wi]

Really nice comparsion and description how you feel on them. I think the 180 fork and Megneg is perfect for the Strive. I run the same on my Strive without that special spacer 😜 and it feels like super fluffy 🤗 Real nice riding from you and dimi 🔥🔥 Also finally you run your gopro chesty cam with superview 😝 Much better angle than your last videos from home.

[@spinthatup3851]

Really good run down mate, enjoyed that a lot

[@benbenplus]

Thanks for that great review. Exactly what I was waiting for. Anyway for me I would choose the Spectral, because it's more capable for a every day use. Touring, Uphill and Trailriding. And with the 160mm fork you can shred as well. Can you say something about the uphill performance on both bikes? Is there a big noticeable difference on the Strive with the Shape Shifter engaged?

[@JLambinator]

Great question. I would love to hear how the two compare in technical climbing and general climbing.

[@Manvswild11]

Mad dog, have ya tried the spectral in a M with a touch longer stem? Like 45 or 50? Would give you the reach of the strive and would be as easy to weight the front and only 8mm shorter wheelbase than the strive.. I reckon the spectral feels better in the fast chunk because of head angle not just longer wheelbase, you don’t get as hung up with a slacker head angle as it lets the fork push back from impacts a lot smoother rather than “catching” if that makes sense. Peace out. Rooter

[@moimoitv_]

Nah have not tried that. I think it’s just too small. The strive is already a little on the small side for Me 😅

[@evanblackwell3920]

Great video. I think your point about riding on a track you don't know vs. riding one you're very familiar with is really insightful. Like most good insights, it sounds really simple when explained, but yet I've never heard anyone point it before! I am curious though - with 180mm forks on both bikes the Spectral must be really slack, maybe below 63 degrees (?). Do you think the Spectral could be faster with either a shorter fork (160-170) or an angleset to bring the head angle back to 64-64.5?

[@moimoitv_]

Yeah this was super important for Me. I noticed this at my first world enduro in 2016. I had my bike setup for park laps super stiff and I couldn’t hang on for a 15 minute stage. Yeah it definitely works better with the shorter travel, but I really want the 180 fork for the gnarly runs, this suits the strive better

[@moimoitv_]

And the head angle on spectral with that fork is 63.1

[@meesterbingbong5641]

I feel like although the strive feels more clunky it'll probably more practical than the spectral. I feel like 6 hours on some large travel cushion is much more do-able than hopping around the track on a bike that's punching up. just my thinking
