Canyon is recalling approximately 820 model year 2018 Spectral full-suspension mountain bikes because the aluminum chainstays can crack during use. There have been 20 reports of chainstays cracking, which can cause the rear wheel to detach and lead to a loss of control. These bicycles were sold in various colors including black/red, black/blue, gray/orange, red, and black between December 2017 and June 2018. Consumers should immediately stop riding these bikes and contact Canyon for a free replacement and installation of the chainstays.
The aluminum tubes connecting the bottom bracket to the rear wheel axle (chainstays) can crack and fail. This failure can result in the rear wheel detaching from the frame while riding, causing the rider to lose control and crash.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled mountain bikes and contact Canyon to receive free replacement and installation of chainstays. Canyon is contacting all known purchasers directly.
