Hi drocho! You wont be disappointed with the infinit red color :). Have no other pictures right now but can say that the black or white version are booring (according to me). Bike is still a killer. However, I have one minor issue, there is some rattling from the cables going throu the head...

You can perfectly fine put a 170mm fork on it as well! However, I do not know if it is approved by Canyon.

I was facing the same choice this spring. Ended up choosing the SpectralON CF7, here's why: - no lbs that can let you try one + all parts can be serviced by any shimano lbs + range anxiety is gone! + live in a very mountainous region where a big battery is needed + A lot of bang for the buck...

I came from an analog Spectral with 2 x 27.5 and have the SpectralON CF7 now. Having the 29 up front is an improvement, tackles rough terrain better. Having 27.5 in the back makes it still quite playful, which I like. However, if you're after stability go for 2 x 29.

Yeah, personal preference is important, you must be comfortable with and trust your ride. I kinda like the shimanos better :). Welcome to Norway sometime in the future!

There is only one clamp for the whole shifter/brake package. But why change to SRAM, the Deore 4-piston brake is plenty enough! And I ride 800m downhills here in Norway.

Yes, CF7, CF8 and CF9 all use a regular stem and handlebar (y) Regarding a previous doubt I had, rubbing of the chain on the chainstay, I can report that there is no rubbing whatsoever after 100km of trail riding.

Great review of the SpectralON CF8! Got awarded second best 2022 emtb, just behind the Levo. https://www.outdoorgearlab.com/reviews/biking/electric-mountain-bike/canyon-spectral-on-cf-8

I just charged the battery for the first time and the 4A charger unit got extremely warm, so warm I couldn't hold on to it for long. Only charged for 3 hours. Doesn't seem right? What temperatures do you get your chargers at, normal or toasty?

Got in contact with Canyon customer service and they answered quickly. I should just disregard the extra screws and use as spare parts. Dropper post cable came out after some mild force. My CF7 is put together now and I had a short ride. First impression: what a bike!! Plush ride but still...

Thanks for the input guys! I'll have a look in the battery compartment, if anything is missing there. Have to say that the whole thing with finding unattached screws is sloppy by Canyon and a bad experience. Hopefully, I'll get a smile back when riding the bike! Did anyone experience a too...

Highway, sorry I haven't. Got my bike today though! Actually earlier than previously estimated :). But I've got two mounting questions: -These screws were lying loose at the bottom of the bike box, what are they for?! See pictures. -The cable to the dropper post seems short, how hard can I...

Edge, thanks for a good review! I'm still waiting for my CF7. I think you can see the battery % in the shimano app, but others who already have the bike need to confirm.

I ordered it the same day Canyon released the CF SpectralON bikes, in end of May! Original delivery time was end of July so not a huge delay, yet...

Got a delay email from Canyon yesterday on my CF7 900Wh 😑. Now estimated delivery is mid August, let's see if that holds true or not. Wonder what part is missing.
