I got a similar " German response" from Canyon every time I contacted them about my then new Canyon bikes, although with a different result.
They aren't that nice with the standard JRA failed frame customer. In such cases they think they know more and better than you, and it was your fault anyway. But that was 2013/2016, I grant they are not like that any more :).
The Spectral /125 are very interesting bikes, as they bring Enduro performance to the masses, that probably never will compete in an Enduro race or ride down a trail that resembles that. I am curios to see if there will lots of scarcely used Spectrals on ebay next year after those folks realized they bought a full force Enduro rig for their mellow undulating hometrails and fireroads.
What I don't like is the IS headset and the stem. I could live with that small bottle. But surprisingly the Spectral is not much lighter than my Capra (if comparable spec'd)
