The Torque:ON CF 9 is a rowdy trail bruiser and excellent shuttle replacement.

The Canyon Torque:ON CF8 is an unapologetically big, brash, full-powered e-bike that is meant to be ridden hard!
Carbon frame and mid-upper tier components are a great value at this price point
720 or 900 Wh battery options
Impressive suspension kinematics and geometry keep the bike extremely capable on big features, but is still fun on less aggressive terrain
Very low bottom bracket makes for frequent pedal/frame strikes
Lacks finesse while climbing and descending technical terrain
Aug 2023
With masses of travel, a mullet setup and the option of a 900Wh battery, the Canyon Torque:ON CF looks like a gravity rider's dream e-MTB.
Absolutely unstoppable on the descents
Incredibly plush & supportive suspension
Mullet setup is a winner
Adjustable long-stroke dropper post
Two battery options
Not the most adept technical climber
Needs steep terrain to get the most out of it
This bike deserves tougher tyre casings
Shimano motor is noisy on the descents

What has a 250W motor, the ability to go for five hours (or more) and can handle drops that would make elevators cower? That would be the new Torque:ON, a new model from the German company Canyon that bridges the gap between e-bikes and full downhill bikes. With 170mm of travel in the rear and

The 2023 Canyon Torque:ON CF 9 comes equipped with a Shimano EP8 motor, huge 900 Wh battery and generous amounts of travel.
Massive range for long days in the saddle
Inspires huge amounts of confidence
Combines excellent composure with a relatively agile handling
Not a great climber in techy sections
Underwhelmed on moderate trails
May 2023 · Dario DiGiulio
That was a surprising attribute for such a big bike, as pop and playfulness tend to go down the drain when a bike weighs 50-something pounds and sports 175mm of travel.

We pointed the bike into a really rocky descent and we were a bit surprised. We’re so used to long travel 29er emtbs being super stable bikes that will straightline “anything”. The Canyon Torque:On 8 was different though. In hindsight, that really was to be expected. The smaller 27.5″ front wheel has less rollover abilities compared a 29″ wheel. And the short rear end favours playfullness and a faster steering. Check out the video for the whole story.
