2022 Canyon Torque
Specs, Comparisons, Reviews, Galleries
From Canyon: Hit jump lines, race enduro, or just max out your personal stoke-o-meter at the park. The new Torque can tear through steep and sketchy bits at high speeds, throw shapes all day, and boost any feature that merits air time. Tested to the same brutal standards as our World Cup-winning DH race bike, the new Torque handles the biggest hits, yet boasts a frame weight (in carbon) of just 5.85 pounds. In other words, the Torque is a gravity bike that weighs less than a lot of trail bikes.

Pinkbike: Review: 2022 Canyon Torque CF8
The new Canyon Torque still falls into the same gravity-oriented category as its predecessor, but it received significant geometry updates for 2022. Along with getting longer and slacker (shocking, I know), there are now three different wheel size configurations – riders can choose from 29”, mixed-wheel, or 27.5” options with either a carbon or aluminum frame.
