Spectral:ONfly 2026
How current the bike is — newer chassis, motor and battery score higher. 10 = brand-new, 0 = legacy.
The Spectral:ONfly is Canyon's lightweight take on its Spectral trail platform, swapping a full-power drive unit for the compact TQ HPR50 (50 Nm, 300 W peak) and a fully integrated 360 Wh battery. Claimed full-bike weights of 18.8-18.9 kg and a quoted Category 4E strength rating mean this is pitched as an all-mountain-capable mid-power bike rather than a stripped-back assist.
Geometry is borrowed from the regular Spectral CF: a 64-degree head angle, 76.5-degree seat tube, 440 mm chainstays across all sizes and a 470 mm reach in size M, rolling on a mullet (29in front, 27.5in rear) setup with 160 mm of fork travel and 150 mm at the rear. The K.I.S. steering stabiliser is fitted across the range, and the long-stroke Canyon dropper runs 200 mm on M/L and 230 mm on XL.
Both 2026 GB builds share the TQ motor, frame and finishing kit. The CF 8 at GBP 5,199 pairs a RockShox Lyrik fork and Deluxe Select+ shock with SRAM Code R four-piston brakes and a Shimano Deore 12-speed drivetrain on Sun Ringle alloy wheels. The CF 9 at GBP 5,849 steps up to a Fox 36 fork and DPS shock, Shimano XT M8120 brakes, an XT rear mech and DT Swiss alloy wheels. The CF 8 covers the value end, while the CF 9 buys a more premium chassis and braking package for the extra outlay.
