2023 Canyon Torque:ON

Dec 2023

The Canyon Torque:ON CF8 is an unapologetically big, brash, full-powered e-bike that is meant to be ridden hard!

Highs
  • 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

Lows
  • Very low bottom bracket makes for frequent pedal/frame strikes

  • Lacks finesse while climbing and descending technical terrain

Canyon Torque:ON CF 9 review – long-travel electric monster truck that corners like a hot hatch

Feb 2024 · Mick Kirkman

The Torque:ON is the Canyon’s longest travel, hardest charging, biggest battery-ed, most DH-orientated e-bike, but is it simply too much for most UK trails?

Highs
  • All the range and all the capability

  • Rides way lighter and more reactive than you’d imagine

  • Super stiff and solid, without being too sharp and edgy

  • Fantastic handling and low-slung center of gravity

  • Near flawless parts package

Lows
  • The flat, hard and uncomfy Fizik saddle

  • Occasional pedal strikes due to low BB

  • Obviously, you need more than trail center terrain to let this thing rev up

The 2024 Canyon Torque:ON CF finally gets the EP801 motor

Oct 2023 · Knut Nes

The new Canyon Torque:ON CF was introduced earlier this year. But, as opposed to the new Spectral:ON CF/CFR, the Torque:ON was equipped with the old Shimano EP8 (EP800). Canyon said the Torque:ON was designed to use the new EP8 (EP801), but they...

2023 Canyon Torque:ON CF Review | Could this beast of an e-MTB be too much bike?

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.

Highs
  • Absolutely unstoppable on the descents

  • Incredibly plush & supportive suspension

  • Mullet setup is a winner

  • Adjustable long-stroke dropper post

  • Two battery options

Lows
  • 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

Canyon Torque:ON Review – First Look at a Downhill Beast

May 2023 · Patrick Brady

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.

  • Inspires huge amounts of confidence

  • Combines excellent composure with a relatively agile handling

Lows

  • Underwhelmed on moderate trails
