Summary
The Canyon Torque is a high-performance enduro bike praised for its versatile suspension, playful yet stable handling, and exceptional value. It excels in downhill performance with a supple, supportive suspension that handles everything from small bumps to big hits. While it climbs adequately, its true strength lies in its descending capabilities, making it a favorite for bike parks and aggressive trail riding.
Supple, small-bump performance

The new 175mm travel Canyon Torque CF 8.0 shares a lot of the same design cues as the Trail Bike of the Year winning Canyon Spectral.
Super fast and beautifully poised machine
Heavier than most 160mm enduro bikes

Super-enduro, long-travel all-mountain, or simply park bike, Canyon’s Torque CF 9.
Mar 2018
More significant than how this bike performs is the simple fact that it actually exists! The Torque beckons a return of the mini-DH or bike park rig, it's been a while since this niche segment received any fresh blood and we're pumped about it.
Rides like a mini DH bike.
Can actually climb a hill, too.
Narrow scope of use.
