Source: canyon.com (verified 2026-08-01). Fetched Canyon's own US product page for the Spectral 6 directly (canyon.com/.../spectral-6/4012.html), which confirms: AL aluminum frame, 29" wheels with mullet (27.5" rear) option, 150mm Fox 36 Performance Elite fork, 140mm rear travel via a Fox Float X Performance shock, a Shimano SLX/Deore mixed 1x12 drivetrain (32T, 10-51t cassette), Shimano SLX 4-piston brakes with 203mm rotors, a manufacturer-claimed 34.09lb complete-bike weight (size M standard spec), and a $3,099 US price, listed as "Coming soon" at time of access. The page names the fork/shock brands and the frame's 64-degree head angle but does not name a specific suspension-linkage platform (e.g. Horst-link), so suspension_type is left null rather than assumed. No independent third-party retailer corroboration was completed for this specific 2025 Spectral 6 build within this research pass; all figures come directly from Canyon's own manufacturer page.
