The Torque has earned its spurs as a versatile gravity bike. The flat geo and generous reach inspire confidence even on the steepest terrain, while the short rear end makes the Torque agile and nimble - rather unusual in this full-throttle category. This mix makes it the perfect partner for a day in the bike park as well as on the most technical trails. At the same time, the Torque withstands the tough test standards and makes use of the Sender in terms of suspension - ultimately making it a true gravity machine.

For 2021, the Torque will be available in five model variants: Torque 5 and 6 rely on aluminum, Torque CF 7, CF 8 and CF 9 on carbon fiber as the frame material. In addition to a fresh coat of paint, all models now come with even more powerful Fox 38 or RockShox Zeb forks and wide-range Shimano or SRAM Eagle drivetrains. The two top models, Torque CF 8 and CF 9, also feature a OneUp V2 dropper post.

Although it might seem bizarre to call a bike with a double bridge and 200 mm travel versatile, the aluminum Sender 5 and Sender 6 downhillers honestly deserve this distinction according to Canyon. Both versions are a good choice for all riders looking for an affordable DH race bike whose frame design has already helped big names like Troy Brosnan to a World Cup podium. But the Sender is also the perfect bike for anyone looking for more than just pure speed. Its customizable geometry and the variable wheelbase via the chainstay length give the Sender an outstanding playfulness and make it an equally great park bike.

Sender 5 and 6 of the MY21 come with new colors, the Sender 5 now also features a complete Marzocchi suspension with 58 mm fork and Bomber CR steel spring at the rear.
