Torque 29

The two-position Flip Chip geometry adjustment offers 0.5 degrees of head tube and seat tube angle adjustment as well as 8mm of BB height difference so you can set your Torque CF exactly how you want it.

Get your weight forward for big, seated climbs with a steep 78 degrees seat tube angle (77.5 in LO mode). Once combined with the bike’s long reach, you’re perfectly positioned to hold traction even on technical uphills.

Getting your weight over the centre of the bike, the Torque’s reach (465 for medium frames) puts you in an aggressive riding positing. You’ll feel ‘at one’ with the bike for superior steering, light touch agility and a roomy climbing position.

Combined with low-offset forks and long reach, the super-slack headtube angle, 63.5 degrees (or 64 in HI mode), delivers a blend of high-speed stability, confidence when attacking challenging terrain, and responsive handling.

Stay rad all year round. With high durability bearings, your suspension will stay plush longer even when riding through nasty conditions.

We use easily sourced hangers so if you bend it, you can get hold of a new one almost anywhere.

It also pivots backwards slightly, increasing your rear mech's chances of surviving an impact.

An integrated rubber downtube protector shields the frame from errant rocks and crashes and a moulded seatstay protector does the same. A proprietary chainstay protector with special ridges protects the rest of the rear triangle while also dampening any chain slap.

Small bump sensitivity, mid stroke support and a progressive ramp for big hits — the Torque is a fast, active bike for fully committed riders. We’ve even dialled in the suspension to decrease the chances of rowdier riders bottoming out, so there’s no end to the sends.

Optimised stiffness and improved durability make the Torque safer and more confidence-inspiring than ever before. We boosted frame strength where it matters and made the bike stable and responsive, without sacrificing traction and forgiveness.

Tested and rated to the same Category 5 as the downhill world cup winning Sender, the new Torque was built to handle the biggest hits.
