New Canyon Torque:ON & Spectral:ON 2021 first ride review
Are you looking for an eMTB with lots of travel and plenty of reserves? Then take a closer look at the new Canyon Torque:ON with its Shimano EP8 motor. Like all 2021 Canyon eMTBs, the new Canyon Spectral:ON is fitted with the new Shimano EP8 motor. Alongside the new motor and a bigger battery, it’s also been treated to a better spec. Does the update make it better?
Premiere: the new Canyon Torque:ON expands Canyon’s eMTB portfolio with a long-travel and capable bike intended to deliver lots of riding fun. As usual, the name and character of the bike are related to those of its analogue brother, the Torque. Canyon’s goal: create a fun and capable eMTB for the fastest and most challenging trails.
Only last year, Canyon redeveloped the Spectral:ON, not just making the bike 1 kg lighter and furnishing it with clever details, but also improving its performance on the trail. For 2021, sticking with the same 150 mm travel front and rear, the bike has been reworked once again.
You can find out about all the changes directly from our sister magazine E-MOUNTAINBIKE, as well as how the latest Spectral:ON CF 9 (click for review) and Torque:ON (click for review) handles on the trail.
