Trail Vs Enduro eBikes - Is There Really A Difference?

Rode a Santa Cruz Heckler for a couple years, just bought a 2022 Specialized Turbo Levo Expert and installed a 180 kit on the front and Cascade Components LT link with EXT E Storia coil (165mm) and its absolutely amazing! I love the adjustability on the Levo, being able to adjust height and head angle is a game changer. Had several problems with the Shimano EP8 motor, not very reliable and too many failure points with their Di 2 cables. I raced DH in the 90's and wanted something in the 170 range for an all around trail/enduro bike, with a motor it just makes sense for what I ride. Love the channel guys, best EMTB content on the web!

Rode both bikes on a Demo day and on paper the Strive ticked all box’s however was shocked to find the Spectral so much easier to find the best line. I ride a gen 1 Levo SL with a 170 fork up front and feel the Strive too long and chunky for the tech stuff. The Shimano EP 801 also felt better than expected and that 900 w battery may just seal the deal for me 🤘🏻

thanks, really informative in terms of things to consider... well done team.

Keep in mind that the Spectral got updated with a longer travel fork but Canyon never changed the geometry numbers. So I suspect it has 0.5 degree slacker headtube and a little shorter reach than specified.

Was torn between spectral and strive... went with spectral as have a great sale at minute and got a better spec, great video, keep up the work lads

Hi.
Great video, can you tell me if its a big difference on steep hill climb & and which one you recomended more?

Kierkegaard: "Comparison is the end of happiness and the beginning of discontent."

With motor , why not long travel e-bikes ? Love my Husky’s 180

@emtb would love to hear about sizeing in the market for a spectral on, I'm 5'6" with a 29" inseam long arms

Any word on if Canyon is bringing more eMTB models or spec levels to the US shores? We keep seeing great models and spec level options on the channel here, but selection is a bit lacking.

Does the Spectral ON come in alloy? Thought it was CF or CFR only.

great video, i'd love either bike maybe the Strive more thou ;-)

I want the extra travel even if I will not use it...and if needed, why not have it? Also, higher bottom brackets lead to less pedal strikes on rocky climbs.

What about the torque:on 7 vs the spectral:on its got 180 in the front. Is there a noticeable difference. Should i care? I live in florida lots of switch backs

I have never swapped a EMTB battery. Max I have done is 50km take a break and charge for a few hours and then do another 50km.

Nailed it guys. It's horses for courses. If you blast fast all the time, get more travel. If you like tight and technical less travel may be right for you. I tide a 160/150 and find it works well everywhere.

Something in the middle, so Spectral ON + 170mm upfront :)

Which one is easier to jump?

Had the spectral CF 9 a week , great spec ,great up and down , its a mint bike

Hi, can some one help me to decide if buying a used (or service) Moustache Samedi Game 6 from 2021 is a good choice? Or should I buy a new Stylus e-All Montain from Decathlon? Thanks for your support.
