Canyon debuts new Torque:ON & updates entire E-MTB line for 2021

Canyon is introducing an all-new, e-park bike — the Torque:ON —which combines the capability of the brand’s heralded Torque model with the power and range of Shimano’s new EP8 pedal-assist system. The brand’s Spectral:ON, Neuron:ON, and Grand Canyon:ON also receive the EP8 motor and battery update, creating one of the most comprehensive and innovative e-MTB lines in existence.

The Torque:ON is an absolute downhill-ripping, berm-slashing, air-boosting beast of a bike. It sports 175mm of ground-hugging rear suspension, a bombproof aluminium frame, and the kind of playful ride quality that’s rare from a bike with so much suspension travel. The Torque:ON is, in short, the perfect rig for anyone on a quest to ride the steepest, fastest tracks—without the aid of a shuttle van or chairlift. Canyon will offer two 2021 Torque:ON models in all markets outside the United States: the Torque:ON 8 and Torque:ON 9. Both versions are additionally available with a “Dual Battery” option for even longer days out on the trails.

The Spectral:ON brings a nimble-yet-capable ride quality to table that is just plain fun. Sporting a mullet (29/27.5) wheel set-up, 150mm of front and rear suspension, and a sleek carbon front triangle, this is that one bike that can handle anything—from all day pedals to truly punishing descents. Six models are on tap for 2021.

Next in the line-up is the Neuron:ON. Featuring 130mm of front and rear suspension on most models, the Neuron:ON is the consummate trail bike. The fast and efficient Neuron:ON is the perfect tool for covering miles and uncovering adventure. The Neuron:ON is available in five models.

Last but not least, the Grand Canyon:ON brings together the same sophisticated Shimano EP8 motor and battery technology into a simple and reliable hardtail package that gives riders of all stripes the freedom to take every ride further. Canyon will offer five models.
