Canyon Spectral WMN CF 9.0 SL

Custom-tailored for women, Canyon’s Spectral is a well mannered and smart ride.

When Canyon decided to launch a women-specific range, it married a love of statistics with a desire to see women believing in themselves and their ride.

Analysing nearly 70,000 women’s measurements resulted in a revised, gender-specific frame geometry. It sees the reach shortened to help shift weight forward, a lowered bottom bracket for extra stability, shortened chainstays to keep a handle on the rear end, and a standover height that’s dropped to give more clearance. For smaller women, there is also the addition of a XXS frame size.
