My new bike is 100% the best MTB I have ever ridden! The new Canyon Spectral CF is here and what an incredible bike this is, it can handle dirt jumps, MTB trails, DH, uphill climbs and Urban sends, is this the best all rounder ever?

    I ride my new Canyon Spectral CF mountain bike in this sick bright Yellow colourway for the first time and hit some big dirt jumps and flowy MTB trails spread over 3 days of pure shredding. My new bike is now 100% my new favorite and my goodness what an incredible bit of kit this is!! I push it to the limits over dirt jumps, down downhill track, along MTB flow trails and in an urban environment and it was a pleasure to ride. Would you agree that this beautiful bike is the best all rounder ever made?

    I hope you enjoy the video!

    Hello everyone today is going to be epic because I just received a brand new bike which is currently the only one in the UK at the moment and we’re going to be giving it its first ride today so say hello to the brand new Canyon spectral CF wow what a beauty [Applause]

    The allnew canyon spectral CF has been completely overhauled for this year it’s now running a mullet setup so 29 front 27.5 rear that gives you the stability want at full speed but the maneuverability and fun at slower speeds when you’re doing jibs and throwing the bike around that is epic I really like

    That we got the Shram GX chain set on there we got the rock shocks front rear there the frame itself is made of carbon lovely and straight from the factory it comes with an ergon saddle this Frame also comes with the kiss system which stands for keep it stable this is an

    Epic addition to this Frame but we’ll get into that a bit more later I fitted myself some pill grips on there for the ultimate grip we’ve also got this cool compartment on this Frame which has a load of stuff in there where you can store tools inner tubes and whatever you

    Need for your session so you don’t get stuck out on the trails I also fitted the Halo gravitus wheel set front and rear which is wrapped in Goodyear Newton Tires but enough of that let’s go and give this thing its first ride we now just made our way into the

    Woods of Twisted Oaks bike park I’m going to get warmed up in a on one lap then we’re going to hit a couple of the jumps before moving to a new location let’s Oh wow back up for more so with this bike being carbon it’s nice and lightweight so you can BL fast back up the side of the trails and twisted Oaks is the best for that cuz we’ve got all sorts of different ones filled in these Woods let’s get a bit jumpy in

    There oh yeah this feels so nice in the Air we’ve now come over to this little mulch jump section cuz I want to see what this bik flips like before we head over to the red line there change up some gears amazing so good let’s give it a three nice let’s go to the red

    Line so far this bike is feeling amazing I was a little bit nervous to do the 360 over there with the big 29er on the front but actually didn’t make much difference that’s super cool so once you get used to that this thing still throws around easily and the fact it’s carbon

    And extra lightweight the whips and stuff feel amazing on it so I got this thing set up actually soft for a change and it feels so good on the trails loads of grip it is incredible we’ve come over here now to this jump section there’s

    Four in a row we can get some spins and flips and tricks down here just to see how playful this new bike Is oh Wow Oh my God this thing so sick it was scary doing a flip no hander first go on a hip and on dirt actually that last knife at can I actually got cramp in my I’ve been Wing foiling this morning and I’ve done that for like 3 hours and then came biking

    Honestly I thought my leg was going to stay in that position that’s terrifying like I said at the start we want to hit a load of different spots on this bike so let’s get out of here and go to another it is now the next day and we’ve

    Decided to come to Chick Sand’s bike park an old favorite of mine this bike is about to get scent and the first thing we’re going to start the day on here is this big old hip and see how close we can get to the tree it’ be rude not to hit this while

    We’re here wow nice we now just popped over from the bike park to some secret lers this zone is filled with epic stuff to shred we’re going to drop straight in on this one see how much Lo we can fire here we go into some lers Wow wow oh low me that’s so fun I just love secondary ride in this bike you can do everything on it that’s incred let’s go over there there’s a few more lers to smash straight into another Loma W well this thing ate that LOM up like a

    Champ it’s well sick like the amount of stuff you can do on this so right now with’ all them bikes I’ve got from Canyon this has to be my favorite it’s literally the do everything machine and not we didn’t even mention yet this kiss system so the kiss system stands for key

    Keep it stable and this black part here on top of the frame can be moved down or up and the more you move it down it makes it tighter so I’ve got it on a looser setting now but as you can see the bars returned to straight and if

    You’re wondering what that is basically if you’ve got it in a stiffer setting it’s more stable when it gets rough because it’s always bringing your bars back in line when you give it a go you not I mean it really is a sick piece of

    Kit so that’s what the kiss is we’re now going to head back into the bike park and see if we can find some more fun trails and jumps to do to finish off the first ride on this amazing machine we’re now back into the bike park here at

    Chicksands and there’s a well fun trail that blasts down here and you can kind of triple this lip into that corner there next to the tree and then you can disappear off into a burm here we go W is is fast what a machine oh huge

    Wo oh that’s so fun we’ve now just come over to the big drop W from the fun of the woods we’ve decided to see what this thing’s going to be like in an urban an environment look at this bommie of Doom here perfect what a beast on to the next

    After finding that dry little Urban spot yesterday the sunlight dipped and we couldn’t find anymore so it’s now the next day it’s raining I’m fully waterproofed and we’re going to do some local Urban free ride on this brand new bike of course it’d be rude not to send

    It into the classic stair set of Doom here full speed hopefully we don’t need one of those in the Background there we go first spot in the wet completed let’s go and find some more yeah it’s another Doomer the Doom to the umage is going off at the end of this video I’m going to go down quick oh my God that’s steep I think I can actually do a

    Soy off into the grass kind of like a drop that’s the main reason we’re here we can probably make a little lip to soe e off of so we’ll use this and A Tear scooter that should be enough for a [Applause] soie thank you tear scooter let’s put that

    Back that was actually a well cool little spot such a bonus find see if you just buy one of these you can have fun when it’s raining on Urban Free Ride get one now after driving around for ages couldn’t really find much there a bit of a nan blowing rain’s falling what we’ve

    Come across which some of you might want to turn off now about is that zoom in on it look at it but that’s to prove that fun can be had anywhere I’m going to show you how many tricks are possible off a curb like that first one no footer easy sewage

    Just one hand can Landing oh a Boer to backward oh oh the canyon spectral CF is the ultimate do anything bike tricks jumps downhill uphill Urban stuff riding in the rain whatever you want thank you so much to Canyon for all these sick opportunities and amazing bits of Kit

    This is my new favorite bike and I will be shredding it a lot for the rest of the Year see you in the next one m

    1. Sam makes any bike look good i remember he showed that kis system on one his bikes last year don't know how id feel about it being built into the frame if a band or spring snapped be a full frame replacement and make sure you don't unscrew that wee bolt to far and the system drops in the frame hopefully its got an inner plate holding it up, to much to worry about for the average rider

    2. So nice to see Sam ride and looking like the pro rider that he is! After watching him on that Hibike wth rattle can painted forks, and the most creakiest bottom bracket that I’ve ever heard on video😅 Congrats on finally becoming “The Big Man” on YouTube🍻🇨🇦

    3. Привет тебе Сэм из России, да тут тебя тоже смотрят, круто видеть как ты растешь и делаешь качественный контент часто, успехов!🎉
