Summary
The Canyon Torque:ON is a high-performance enduro e-bike that combines a powerful motor with a plush suspension setup, offering a ride that's both capable and comfortable. Its massive 900Wh battery and revised Shimano EP801 motor provide extended range and better support at higher cadences, making it a formidable choice for long rides. While it excels in traction and stability, its low bottom bracket and slightly sluggish handling are noted drawbacks.
Massive 900Wh battery for extended rides
Revised Shimano EP801 motor with better support at higher cadence
Plush rear suspension generates plenty of traction
Comfortable pedalling position for uphill rides
Super composed and stable on rough terrain
Low bottom bracket easily causes pedal strikes
Slightly sluggish handling
Seatpost with only 170 mm of travel restricts freedom of movement
Extra weight from the top tube bottle affects wheelies and manuals
This Torque:ON is basically the older analog Torque I loved years ago with a 900Wh battery in its belly so you can ride all day and double down on the best tracks.
Bike PerfectGetting the new motor should make the Torque:ON an even more interesting choice, I think.

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

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?
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
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 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...

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
