CANYON TORQUE CF 8.0 £3,269
Derived from Canyon’s Sender downhill bike, the Torque is a bit of a gravity-fuelled beast. With 175mm rear travel and 180mm up front, the German packs extra downhill muscle, but a carbon-fibre front triangle and top-tier parts aim to keep it sprightly enough to pedal on UK enduro terrain and all-day wilderness rides.
The smooth, squared-off, UD carbon mainframe is slickly bolted to alloy
