Canyon Brings Back Their Full-Power E-MTBs With a Major Update

"Canyon's full-power e-mountain bike lineup is back in stock, and this time they're returning with a major update: a newly redesigned battery in an all-new aluminum housing, intended to address previous issues with durability, sealing, and long-term reliability. In late 2024, the DTC industry leader issued a stop-use notice and instructed owners to immediately inspect the batteries on its Spectral:ON CF, CFR, and Torque:ON CF e-mountain bike models."

"Select batteries were found to have a design flaw that could lead to structural damage in the housing, potentially allowing water to enter the battery itself. The consequences of this could be catastrophic-short circuits that could result in battery failure, or, in more extreme cases, moisture ingress that could cause severe overheating, resulting in burns and/or the unit catching on fire."

"The latest models stick with the same core platforms, but feature a redesigned 800Wh integrated battery. In its new iteration, Canyon says the battery is the first complete aluminum-housed e-bike batteries on the market. Canyon also claims that every interface point on the housing is now double-sealed, and that the system includes two new internal membranes designed to reduce moisture buildup. The battery carries an IP57 rating for dust and water resistance-which, for reference, is the same rating as Apple's AirPods Pro headphones."

Canyon returned its full-power e-mountain bike lineup with a redesigned integrated 800Wh battery housed in aluminum to improve durability, sealing, and long-term reliability. A late‑2024 stop‑use notice followed discovery of a design flaw that could allow structural damage and water ingress, risking short circuits, overheating, burns, or fire. The new battery features double‑sealed interface points, two internal membranes to reduce moisture buildup, IP57 dust-and-water resistance, SGS certification, and testing for altitude, weather, and mechanical stress. Updated 5.6Ah cells are used inside. Models deliver about 85 km range and 85 Nm torque and are available for purchase.
