Summary

The Canyon Torque is a high-performance enduro bike praised for its playful yet stable handling, capable suspension, and gravity-ready design. It excels in rough terrain and bike parks, offering a balance of sensitivity for small bumps and stability for big hits. While it climbs adequately, its true prowess is revealed on descents, where it inspires confidence and reduces fatigue.

Pros
  • Playful and stable handling

  • Capable suspension for rough terrain

  • Gravity-ready design

  • High-value components

  • Confidence-inspiring on descents

Cons
  • Relatively slack seat angle

  • Can feel heavy on climbs

  • Limited climbing efficiency

Key Quotes
One of the best bargains in the bunch, as well as the best in the Torque lineup.
BIKE Magazine logoBIKE Magazine
The Torque felt poppy and playful compared to other big bikes I've ridden.
Bicycling
Whether you call it an enduro bike, freeride, or a 'fun-loving bikepark machine', the Torque CF is a gravity-ready bike capable of anything you can dish out.

Canyon Torque 29 AL 6 review

Sep 2022 · Mick Kirkman

Ready to rip out of the box, the dialled Canyon Torque AL 6 is excellent value, with well-specified and reliable components

Highs
  • Sorted package with good geometry and parts

  • Strong wheels

  • Chunky Fox 38 fork and X2 shock

  • Shimano drivetrain

Lows
  • Doesn’t offer anything outstanding in terms of handling or ride character in a crowded marketplace

Canyon Torque CF8 review: smooth in the rough, playful on flow - MBR

Jul 2022 · Mick Kirkman

Where does the 170mm travel Torque fit into the range? Is it a pure bike park shredder, or does it have a side hustle outside swoopy berms and jumps?

Highs
  • Solid and confidence inspiring, smooth in the rough and playful on flow trails, low standover and mullet set-up gives great agility.

Lows
  • Coil shock can take a bit longer to get the perfect set-up. Maxx Grip front tyre might be a bit slow on mellow jump trails.

The Canyon Torque 29 CF 9 is a big travel bike that won't sterilise the trails. Heaps of fun from the trail to the race tape, in one package.

[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
