What REALLY Happened To Canyon’s eBike Batteries?

Estimated read time 4 min read

​ Canyon recently faced its biggest challenge yet: a global “stop use” notice for the Spectral:ON and Torque:ON due to battery safety risks. Neil Donoghue traveled to Canyon’s HQ in Germany to see how this problem cost them into the double-digit millions to fix, and why they’ve moved to a revolutionary new aluminum battery housing. Plus, we hit the trails in Girona to test the updated Spectral:ON and discuss the huge price drops now that these bikes are back in action.
