Summary
The Canyon Torque is a highly capable enduro bike that excels in downhill performance, offering stability, speed, and well-tuned suspension. It's praised for its value, solid build, and playful handling, though it may not stand out in a crowded market and has some weight and climbing efficiency drawbacks.
Excellent downhill performance and stability
Well-tuned suspension for rough terrain
Good value and solid build quality
Playful and lively handling
Room for a water bottle inside the front triangle
Heavy weight affects climbing efficiency
Not the most efficient bike for climbs
Can feel less manoeuvrable or responsive than some competitors
Low bottom bracket may not suit all riders
Point the Torque 29 AL 6 downhill and it really comes into its own.
BikeRadarThe Torque Mullet CF 8.0 lives up to Canyon’s billing as a bike park slayer.
MBRThe Torque 29 CF 9 does not feel like a big travel 29er, it feels like a rolling party where the sound system is blasting out ‘Jump, Jump! Everybody Jump!’.

Canyon have built a reputation on their bikes looking amazing but also delivering in performance. So, when the crew from the [R]evo test team were given the opportunity to throw a leg over Canyons brand new Torque for review, it’s no secret the team were pretty damn excited! Words // Scotty Prendergast Photos // Matt Staggs First impressions, what did you guys think when you first got this sucker out of the box? Well, this is something we don’t really […]

The Big brawlin' Torque vs the go-anywhere Spectral - which one brings more business without spoiling the party out back?

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.

The Torque offers great geometry, a solid spec and, most importantly, feels seriously capable on just about any type of terrain
Great geometry
Balanced ride feel
Stealthily silent
Good spec
No size small
Canyon doesn’t offer the ‘mullet’ version with an alloy frame, as it does with the other wheel sizes

A single-minded beast of a bike that is made for those who like to go big.

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
