Torque

Canyon launched the Torque as its dedicated long-travel gravity bike, aimed squarely at riders who spend their days uplifting, shuttling or lapping the bike park rather than racing cross-country. Canyon itself is a Koblenz-based direct-to-consumer brand: by selling online and shipping bikes in a box, it undercuts traditional dealer pricing, which is exactly why the Torque has a reputation for offering more suspension, better forks and higher-tier drivetrains per euro than almost any rival. The bike was comprehensively redesigned for 2022, gaining a modern slack geometry, a flip-chip, and — crucially — a choice of 29", mullet and 27.5" wheel setups from one frame. For 2026 Canyon rebuilt the aluminium Torque from the ground up into an even more freeride-focused 180/180mm bruiser with adjustable chainstays and the ability to run a 190mm dual-crown fork, plus a factory-DH-adjacent AL DH build — cementing the Torque as Canyon's gravity/park weapon rather than a pedally all-rounder.
