It’s a mountain bike, not a handbag - the odd scratch shows it’s being used. Forget about the tiny flaws and just ride; it’s not worth the hassle to be constantly beautifying.

Agreed, it’s pretty silly because this bike is specifically targeted at those riders who just want a comfortable, upright position for riding gentle off-road tracks. It would be fair to criticise the upcoming Spectral:On if the new version doesn’t have up to date descending focussed geo, but not...

Not saying I told you so (much... ;)), but the absence of a new motor and bigger battery is going to be a disappointment to many. This effectively confirms that the much anticipated "E9000" or whatever it will be called will only be released on MY 2021 bikes; the earliest will probably be early...

We shall see. I suspect the reason they have reduced prices is simply they are selling more slowly with all the new bikes released in recent times. Even if they do release a new bike in the next few months with an integrated battery I don’t expect it to have the new motor.

Probably not until MY 2021 when Shimano release their new motor. Sometime from May-June maybe? They will want to have got rid of most of their E8000 motored bikes before that happens I’m sure...

The problem is that actual degradation over time will vary hugely depending on how the pack is treated. Storage temp, storage voltage, length of time stored at elevated SOC, number of charge cycles, charge rate, discharge rate (i.e. short turbo assisted rides vs longer epics at lower assistance...

These battery health numbers are worthless unless you know how they are calculated. If you are concerned and/or the real world performance of your pack is substantially down in where it was during your first rides then take it back and have them run the full diagnostic on the battery, but there...

Don't worry, King Boris is going to negotiate a perfect free trade deal where we have all the benefits of the EU with none of the annoying costs or pesky inconveniences like free movement. Probably... :unsure:

As discussed here on several occasions, it is highly unlikely we will see a new Canyon ebike this year now - they are almost certain to wait for the formal announcement of the new Shimano motor in late spring/early summer, and release it on the 2021 bikes.

That is pretty much what I was expecting - by that stage most of the in-demand 2020 E8000 bikes will have sold out ;). That will mean Shimano can announce the E9000 (or whatever it will be called) without devaluing too much existing stock.

It seems they may be waiting for the much anticipated E9000 motor unit from Shimano before updating their machines - given they will almost certainly go from external to integrated battery in their next gen bikes that makes sense I suppose, otherwise their 2020 frame is only likely to be...

Shame, but nothing unexpected - they are clearly waiting for the E9000 before releasing a new model. Ps - Yuck, that snot green colour on the new Kenevo looks even worse than in the pictures seen previously...

Maybe, but again I just can’t believe the likes of Commencal and Merida in particular would have released new fully integrated frames based on the old battery of that were the case. The only other possibility is Shimano have somehow shoehorned more capacity into the same physical battery case...

I think it is highly unlikely we will see the E9000 any time soon. If it was going to be released imminently surely we wouldn't have seen so many new 2020 bikes from other Shimano brands (Commencal, Merida, Kona, Vitus, etc) with the E8000?

I doubt you will find anyone who sends their bike back to Canyon for regular servicing - warranty work yes, but by the time you have factored in shipping the costs would be huge compared to using your LBS. Get your own tools and learn the skills from YouTube or support your local shop, both are...

Are you looking for a wall type stand for storage against/on a wall, or a workstand for maintenance?

2020 ebike - Spectral:ON - EMTB Forums

I think you made the right choice - the fancier drivetrain components on the 8.0 will just get chewed up quicker on an ebike and won't give you any major advantages in shifting or weight.

Given they are almost the “last men standing” when it comes to using an external battery (Thok excepted) it seems inevitable we will see new frames from Canyon in the next 12-18 months. I am not certain it will be the 2020 model year though - the Neuron:On is still pretty new, so going fully...

Long answer: I agree with your dimensions you could probably choose either size. I am 175cm with a 33”/84cm inside leg. I rode a large at the NEC show last year and with the seatpost fully slammed it was (somewhat surprisingly to me) absolutely fine despite having 15mm more reach than the analog...
