CANYON TORQUE

Freeride adventures, bike-park party laps, a bit of DH racing? Yes, yes, and, hell, yes. Torque AL blends world-class, gnar-devouring suspension with supreme control.

“The new Torque feels amazing! It gives you a confidence boost when you’re flying down trails at full speed but it’s just as good at playful riding.” 

Sam Pilgrim, freeride legend

The Torque AL is a Mullet

Mullet, rapid and rowdy: It’s a mullet, what’s not to love?

29 wheel at the front is serious business for speed and stability, 27.5 at the back is fun times for agility and playfulness.

You get the best of both — the haircut is optional.

The long-travel legend

The Torque AL is a 180mm-travel, all-aluminium bruiser that blends world-class, gnar-devouring suspension with supreme control. If your flavour of fun includes trampling the limits of speed and common sense in total control, this is your rig.

Unruly. Unbound. Unreal.

The Torque AL is the rare long-travel rig that excels at any and every kind of gravity riding. We designed it that way. Single crown or dual-crown fork? Torque shreds with either. Air or coil sprung shock? It can wear both. Short or long chainstays? Our modular dropouts let you run your rear center stubby or lengthy. In other words, Torque is no one-trick pony.

Go big. It’s built for it.

Torque AL’s aluminium chassis is a thing of beauty. It’s tough as nails and delivers bucketloads of confidence when danger calls.

Bomber, aluminium frame

The heart of the Torque AL is its tough-as-nails, precision-crafted aluminium chassis. Offering all the manufacturing precision and ride characteristics of boutique carbon fiber at a fraction of the price, the new Torque AL frameset is a rugged thing of beauty.

Adjustable frame geometry

Dial your Torque AL to your terrain or ride style. Modular dropouts let you choose between short (430mm) and long (440mm) chainstay lengths. Similarly, the bike’s flip chip helps you steepen the geo and increase bottom bracket height for more ground clearance and quicker handling.

Air or coil? It’s up to you.

We equip each Torque AL with stellar, air-sprung shocks from FOX and RockShox. Want to go coil later on? Go for it. It loves those too.

Go long...or go really long

We designed Torque AL around 180mm-travel, single crown forks. Want more squish? Go ahead and bolt on a dual-crown DH fork.

Built-in protection

Push the boundaries of speed and control and you’ll inevitably bump up against something big, brutal, and unyielding. That’s why ISCG05 bashguard mounts are discretely tucked away on the new Torque’s bottom bracket shell. Bolting a bashguard to the Torque goes a long way to providing peace of mind. Send it - we’ve got you covered.
