Hello,
Im quite torn between these two bikes. To be more exact, between Spectral CF9 and Stumpjumper Evo Comp.
[https://www.canyon.com/en-fi/mountain-bikes/trail-bikes/spectral/cf/spectral-cf-9/3643.html](https://www.canyon.com/en-fi/mountain-bikes/trail-bikes/spectral/cf/spectral-cf-9/3643.html)
[https://www.specialized.com/fi/en/stumpjumper-evo-comp/p/199749?color=320261-199749](https://www.specialized.com/fi/en/stumpjumper-evo-comp/p/199749?color=320261-199749)
This is the first bike I’m getting and Im not gonna probably drive that fast or do lots of jumps or bike parks. But I can respect good quality etc and I rarely compromise and I like to get my moneys worth.
Also, the CF9 in No Neon color kinds pulls me in more. Price difference is negligible for me. I also have both Specialized and Canyon certified workshops in my city.
If there are other recommendations, Im willing to listen.

Spectral
Both great bikes. I’m just gonna vote for Canyon because it looks outstanding, especially in that black. Also T type is a nice bonus unless you hate T type (I haven’t tried it yet, and the consensus is weird. Many like it, a lot of people are saying it shifts slow or something but… I still take accuracy over speed, if you can’t have both. Dunno.)
Again, can’t go wrong with either. Geo very similar. Basically choosing a color/look at this point. And that Spectral in black is outstanding. EVO in light blue is ok… Just ok
I’d go spectral if money isn’t an issue. Outstanding bike. Nothing wrong with the specialized and that’s a really good price, but the canyon is a step above IMO.
Spectral CF8 is what you should get.
Can’t beat the value of Shimano XT
