My son and I tried out the Torque, aluminum Sender, Spartan, Capra with 170 front and back, Tues and Slash over two days at Crankworx. My favourite for all the downhill was the Sender but I would never buy a bike that I can’t pedal. Next favourite was the Torque then Capra for technical and flow trails. My son’s favourite bike was the Torque as it comes in a extra small size that was perfect for him as he was flying on it. We also did a little uphill with the Torque, Spartan, Capra and Slash and we thought the Capra was the best. I’ll still keep my all-mountain bike but I’d really love to get a Torque for following my son at the park and on some of the knarlier trails on the North Shore. One concern is there are a lot of poor reviews related to customer service from Canyon’s US site. But my major beef with Canyon is we cannot buy them in Canada! or in the US for that matter unless your credit card is linked to a US address. I have a US address but still cannot order a bike. You demo your bikes in Canada but don’t sell them here! Get with it Canyon! Oh but I can order one from Macedonia, Quatar or Brunei Durassallam!
