Expirience with the Canyon Torque 29 CF 9

Ludwig Döhl The combination of a lot of spring travel and large 29er wheels make the Torque 29 CF 9 a beast on the descents. With a flat 63,5 degree head tube angle and a long reach, the geometry corresponds to the current trend. The moderate seating position is likely to be the perfect middle ground for the majority of bikers. All in all, in the on extremely technical trails category, you will hardly find a better overall package from parts and geometry. With 6 years the warranty is another neat feature.
