Canyon's 2024 Spectral mountain bike might have less suspension travel than before but that doesn't mean it's any less a trail ripper. Here, Canyon athlete Brayden Bringhurst showcases his incredibly creative approach to riding by doing things differently from what you'd expect from a mountain bike video. We hope you enjoy it, let us know what you think in the comments section below.

Brayden Bringhurst is a rider who does things a little differently. Where there are thousands of riding edits all over YouTube of riders showing off their descending abilities, All Ways and Brayden's riding, exhibits his talent for imaginative ascending capabilities.

However, when it comes to the descents it's well worth paying special attention to what Brayden is doing as there are a number of firsts for the rider, including opposite spins and the like, giving this video excellent replay value.
