Expirience with the Canyon Torque Mullet CF 8

Ludwig Döhl Just a few years ago, the Torque Mullet CF 8 would have been called a freerider. Today it runs in the enduro category with its 180mm travel. This model relies on the mullet design with a large 29-inch front wheel and a smaller 27.5-inch rear wheel. The combination of a 63,5 degree head tube angle and a long wheelbase calms down the handling of the Canyon Fully, even if you ride fast. The seating position can be described neither as sporty nor as comfortable. It has a moderate character. When viewing the 15,8 kg, its apparent: there are lighter Enduros in this price range. A shout out to Canyon – we take our hats off, because a first-class price / performance ratio make the Enduro of Canyon for on moderate runs a benchmark in the price range under 6000 Euro. The guarantee of 6 years proves that Canyon is behind its products.
