GOING BIG – CANYON DEBUTS NEW TORQUE:ON & UPDATES ENTIRE E-MTB LINE FOR 2021

KOBLENZ, 28 JANUARY 2020 | EMBARGO UNTIL TUESDAY, 2 FEBRUARY 2021, 11AM CET (10AM UTC) — 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 (€ 4,499*) and Torque:ON 9 (€ 5,799*). 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, starting at € 4,599* and culminating in the top-tier CF 9 version, which sells for € 7,599*.

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, with a price range of € 3,699 - € 4,599*.

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, ranging in price from € 2,899 - € 3,599*.
