Both bikes are 140 rear with up to 160 front..
Buuut which one??

Not discounting how pretty the Spectral is, but the Foxy is more gorgeourser!!The canyon looks nicer...no shifting dog issues. Anton will be furious.
Can't test the Canyon AFAIK

Spelling issues more likely...Shifting dog issues?
Ive riden more bikes than hot dinners...
....what counts is geometry and suspension design
Have you ridden either of the mondraker or the canyon ? If not, it's tough to judge how the geo and suspension design actually ride for you. Numbers and reviews don't always gel with expectations.
Ultimately, they'll both be great rigs in all likelihood so long as they fit. Go with the one that makes you more excited (tingles down there and stuff)
Well there arw 2 hot dinners ive not had...foxy and spectral..but yes your right number dont do shite until youve riden it...im on a 120mm alloy trail beast and it rips better than any bike ive riden and the numbers arnt that great it just works...
Which one makes me tingle down there...im just going to bite the bullet soon and buy one. As for a test ride on the foxy i cant get to them when they are near my way in melb..
That's an informative review, Mario - thanks for pointing it out.
That's a pretty good point, cant go too wrong! I love my moonraper (dune not foxy) but if there's one thing I've noticed about them, this includes the foxy, they're not a relaxed riders trail bike. They work amazingly when you're on the gas but if you're just up for a Sunday cruise to be completely honest they feel like crap. How ever they do kind of state them selves when they say "for riders that like to attack the trail" which is sweet but sometimes you just wanna be friendsI`ve said it before I`ll say again , I don`t think you`ll buy a shit trail bike now , correct me if I`m wrong , every one has brought their A game to the table . From Avanti ( have one too - technically an XC rig - Vapour ) to Zerode the offerings now compared to lets say 3 years ago are chalk and cheese . I`d like to say that it will get better but I think it all comes in stages , so maybe stagnate now for a year or three and then the next revolution will come in and we`ll have this same discussion .
For me to upgrade the Foxy now , a few mods along the way latest being 1 x 10 , would be to a Dune and that would only be due to a catastrophic frame failure but lifetime frame warranty takes care of that I guess .
If you are contemplating a Mondraker, want a test ride and you are in the Wollongong area feel free to PM me . Its a small and if you don`t mind my brakes run reverse . And just a cheeky to the other thread Evo CTD rocks !
