The Canyon Torque has been in Canyon Bicycles’ range for many years now, slotting into the zone between their Strive enduro race bike and Sender downhill bike. It used to be a smaller-wheeled freeride focused bike that focused less on all-out speed and more on all terrain capability. We rode that 27.5er Canyon Torque in our Bike Park Review Tour some years back and thought how great it’d be with a little bigger wheel. Now we’ve got the freshened up 29er Torque CF7 at the plate in our Enduro Bike Shootout. With a carbon fiber frame and purposeful spec, the Torque 29 CF 7 is the second-cheapest in our roundup, but definitely offered the best bang for the buck of all our contenders.

When you’re pushing the Torque to the limits, it falls a touch short of the most composed bikes in this test, with the rear end firming up through repeated heavy hits and for that reason it’s not the bike that we’d hop onto to try and hit the top step of a race podium. All that to say, we may pick other bikes above the Torque but that doesn’t mean this bike isn’t a solid 8.25 out of 10. Then when you combine the price to performance ratio and how much fun you get for a bike under $4,500 and it’s easy to bump it up to an 8.5 or 8.75.

Price: $4,499
Weight: 34.3 lbs
