It would be great if you tested the alloy versions - Stumpjumper Alloy Comp vs Spectral 125 AL 6

Sorry, I can't fully decide what bikes to test. They are simply not available.

Maybe do a comparison between Stumpy Evo Comp and Spectral 29 CF 8 “normal” version? They cost the same (in my region at least) and have the same travel, similar spec.

I have the spectral 29 Al and also notice that it’s only weakness is when going fast and hitting chattery stuff. The back end just feels really bouncy/shaky not smooth. I only weigh 155lbs. So maybe that is part of it

have you tried just having less air pressure in the rear shock? Ignore the recommended "sag" canyon tells you to use.

Both good bikes but the stumpjumper seems more fun for the moderate trails in my area.

Thank you for the video. Do you think the Spectral 125 is a better climber than the 160 ??
@MTBs2 жыл бұрын
Thanks! Haven't ridden the Spectral 29 (only the Spectral:on). But sure, there is a difference in general between short and long travel bikes. Didn't GMBN put the 2 bikes against each other? I suggest you find that video.

Hej, thank you for this video. I am fairly new to MTB and I ride 95% of my time in the Gothenburg Area. I need a bike to join "gubbcykling" twice a week in our area and I have a hard time deciding between a Stumpjumper, Spectral 125 and Neuron CF9. Which one would you choose? I am 1.80 and am comfortable on a S4 Stumpjumper, should I still go for Large on the canyons if you recommend them? Appreciate any answer as I am so divided :)
@MTBs Жыл бұрын
Best is to try yourself size wise. Canyon will have a few demo bikes at flodamtbfestival.se/ in September. I would probably go for a Spectral 125 since I want to challenge myself on the steeper and more technical descents that are commonly found in the Gothenburg area. The Stumpy and the Neuron feel quicker on the flats, though.

What’s your height for the L spectral, do you think someone 183cm could ride M? Asking as I usually ride L but the M spectral 125 is closer to the S4 Stumpjumper than L.
@MTBs Жыл бұрын
I'm 185 cm tall. I would definitely go for size L on the S 125. My brother is 182 cm and he liked size L too. The Stumpy is slightly steeper so the reach could be a bit shorter. The S 125 is a bigger and slacker bike than the Stumpy in general and I'm ok with the "big feel". It's always a personal thing though with sizes... You would fit on both M and L.

@MTBs2 жыл бұрын
Hej Kjetil! Trysil in general has got extremely smooth and well maintained trails so you could get away with a hardtail even. It's not very steep either. The reds and blacks in Gullia could pose a challenge though. Either bike would work very well, it's more a matter of taste and budget. I had an eMTB which was very nice since we went everywhere up and down that mountain. God tur!
