[Tested] Canyon Torque:On 8

Aug 2021 · Ian Collins

Over the last few months, I’ve been spending some time on the 27.5″ wheeled long travel Canyon Torque:On 8. The particular model that I’ve been testing varies substantially compared to the US version that’s available to the public, due to different specs. However, it shares the same of the aluminum frame, motor, battery and in house bits such as the cockpit. For the bulk of this test I’ll be primarily focused on ride characteristics such as handling and duty as well as battery/power delivery. There isn’t much sense getting too far into the weeds over the details of components since

Speed or Style? Canyon Strive CF 5.0 vs. Canyon Torque AL 6.0

Aug 2019 · Finlay Anderson

The Canyon Strive CF 5.0 and the Canyon Torque AL 6.0 are both designed to be ridden downhill hard and then pedalled back to the top of the hill. Both bikes are listed in the “enduro” category on Canyon’s website and both should be great fun to ride in their own right. However, the similarities […]
