From 2023, all Torque models will finally be available with the mixed wheel concept. Mullet bikes combine the best of both worlds and are therefore popular with many riders: a large 29-inch front wheel ensures the best rollover behavior, more stability at higher speeds and more traction. The smaller 27.5-inch rear wheel makes the bike more agile, more maneuverable in tight corners and gives riders more rearward clearance in steep sections.  

The revised fleet still has all the features you need for the bike park and backcountry alike - combined in one bike. Flat head angles, reduced fork offsets, longer reach and steeper seat angles combined with stiffer, more durable frames that even offer space for a bottle cage make the new Torque models the ultimate gravity bikes. Whether it's going downhill at high speed, up over kickers or playfully over trail features, every Torque has been tested under Canyon's most rigorous stress tests and awarded category 5 - the standard that Thomas Genon has already put to the test at the Red Bull Rampage.

Although the focus is on mullet bikes, many other options are available for purists who prefer to ride on standardized wheel sizes. The Torque AL 6 is available as a 27.5-inch version for park riders and the Torque CF 7 and CF 8 are equipped with 29-inch wheels for racers.

The Fabio Wibmer Signature Edition completes the range and is already his third edition since signing his contract with Canyon. His 2023 bike comes with a new paint job, revised specs and mullet wheels.

The Torque range starts with the Torque 5, an aluminum frame with RockShox suspension, Shimano Deore drivetrain and grippy Maxxis tires for a solid entry into the world of bike parks. At the other end of the broad spectrum is the Torque CF 9, which is equipped with smooth Fox Factory suspension, a wireless and precise SRAM AXS drivetrain and downhill-proven DT Swiss wheels of the finest quality.
