How it compares
With 180 mm at the fork, the Canyon Torque sits above average: across the 41 bikes in the “enduro bike” category in our database, the median is 170 mm. On travel, it slots in between the Canyon Spectral and the Canyon Sender in the Canyon range. Canyon builds the frame from aluminium.
At a minimum of 17.1 kg (AL 9 build), the Canyon Torque is heavier than its category median of 15.7 kg – 1.4 kg more. Within the range, weight varies by 0.6 kg. Prices for the Canyon Torque start at €2,499 (AL 7), below the category median of €4,750. For the AL 9 build, Canyon asks €3,999. The fork line-up ranges from the RockShox ZEB Base to the FOX 38 Factory GRIP X2.
Setup notes for this spec
- Air fork (RockShox ZEB Base): the air valve is on top of the left leg under a cap. Change pressure in small steps (about 5 psi (0.34 bar)) and cycle the fork a few times afterwards so the air chambers can equalise.
- Rebound: on FOX and RockShox suspension the rebound adjuster is red. Always count clicks from fully closed (clockwise to the stop) so you can return to any setting.
- Hardtail: without rear suspension, rear tyre pressure largely decides comfort and traction – it is worth testing in 0.1 bar (1.5 psi) steps.
Target SAG for the Canyon Torque
SAG is the share of travel your weight already uses in the riding position. The table gives it straight in millimetres – read the O-ring on the stanchion and adjust the air pressure until it matches. Any figures from Canyon take priority.
180 mm fork (AL 7, AL 9)
| Riding style | Fork SAG |
|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 31 mm |
| Trail | 20 % = 36 mm |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 40 mm |
| Bike park | 20 % = 36 mm |
180 mm fork (AL 8)
| Riding style | Fork SAG |
|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 31 mm |
| Trail | 20 % = 36 mm |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 40 mm |
| Bike park | 20 % = 36 mm |
How to measure SAG is explained in our guide SAG setup.
Tyre pressure starting values
For 2.50″ wide tyres, tubeless with a trail casing. With an inner tube about 0.2 bar (2.9 psi) more, with an insert about 0.1 bar (1.5 psi) less. Stock tyres: Maxxis Assegai 2.5 / Minion DHR II 2.4.
| Ready-to-ride weight | Front | Rear |
|---|---|---|
| 60 kg | 1.43 bar (21 psi) | 1.63 bar (24 psi) |
| 70 kg | 1.55 bar (22 psi) | 1.75 bar (25 psi) |
| 80 kg | 1.67 bar (24 psi) | 1.87 bar (27 psi) |
| 90 kg | 1.79 bar (26 psi) | 1.99 bar (29 psi) |
| 100 kg | 1.91 bar (28 psi) | 2.11 bar (31 psi) |
| 110 kg | 2.03 bar (29 psi) | 2.23 bar (32 psi) |
| 120 kg | 2.15 bar (31 psi) | 2.35 bar (34 psi) |
Air pressure in the fork
You will find a guide value for air pressure on the fork sticker or in the suspension makers’ charts. Our calculator also takes riding style and rebound into account. In the end, measured SAG is what counts.
