I’m looking for a bike for enduro and jumps around $2,500. I’m completely open to suggestions but was looking at the canyon spectral and commencal clash.

I like my Commencal Clash a lot. A bit heavy but bomb proof.

You can jump either bike and you can race / ride enduro with either bike. Both have less than stellar customer support (anecdotal).

Clash has more travel, so it’s technically “more enduro,” but the spectral has nicer components and for cheaper. Both bikes will handle what you’re doing just fine, and in my book, the spectral Is a way better deal for the price.

They’ll both do it equally well.
27.5 wheels are great for jumps.
TBH I think less travel is better for jumps usually, but the 170mm on the clash is going to be smoother on enduro trails.

I like to put a water bottle in the triangle.

The Spectral is only cat4 frame. I’ve seen a few people break them when used in bikeparks. By Canyon I would prefer the Torque for this kind of use.

If you wait a little bit you might be able to get a canyon torque for that price

Get a torque rather than a spectral

Define “jumps”.

Take the canyon torque mullet Al 5 it’s better than the spectral 125 Al 5 I ride the torque mullet Al 5 and it’s very good for his price and you can drive Enduro and you can with it
