The Best Value Enduro Bike - 2022 Canyon Torque 29 AL 5

Рет қаралды 44,854

2 жыл бұрын

It's time that I try out a full 29er again and with the latest advancements in geometry... The Torque 29 AL 5 fits the bill perfectly. Canyon has finally created their Torque as a 29er and it is a freeride machine that can eat up park laps all day long, while also holding it's own for the enduro crowd. Additionally, Canyon is crushing the competition with their price point on this bike and the components list is on point. Tell me your thoughts and where to ride next in the comments below!

The feeling when riding is awesome. Easy to do tricks on and stable when going fast downhill.

If the fixed geometry is equivalent to the high flip chip setting on the carbon frames, you can still mullet it, right? (although the Spectral 29 is easier to mullet as it has shorter chainstay).

@GlobalTrailGuide 2 жыл бұрын

It’s not equivalent, which I consider to be a benefit overall, just not for trying a mullet. Canyon says they provided the best of both worlds for the AL frames… the head angle is like the low position, at 63.5, and the seat angle is like the high position, at 78. Not sure how the BB sits relative to the carbon frames with flip chips.

I’d say a good comparison to this would be the 2021 GT Force 29. Alloy frame, 150mm of rear travel, 170mm up front. I got one for $3500 (USD) with a Fox Performance 38, Performance Elite DPX2, Sram Code R brakes, Stans Flow S1 wheels, and an NX Eagle drivetrain. I’m pretty sure GT is still producing them along side of the 2022 Force Carbon. Plus the Force has all external routing which I personally prefer

@GlobalTrailGuide 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for sharing! Just took a look on GTs website, looks like it’s $3800 now, which prices it quite a bit above the Torque (or Spectral). Still, like you said, not a bad build spec if you’re a Sram fan. Only complaint I have is the dropper is too short, 125mm for S and 150mm for M-XL. Geo does look quite nice for anyone looking for a well rounded all mountain bike. Thanks again for sharing! There’s so many bikes out there it’s hard to check them all for comparison.

@anthonywalters7434 2 жыл бұрын

@@GlobalTrailGuide I’m pretty sure it comes with a 125mm post on the medium as well, or at least mine did, but at 5’6” I don’t need a longer post. Also I had a spreadsheet of probably close to 60 bikes and I definitely missed a few good ones when it came down to deciding on which one to go for, so I totally get how hard it is to find every possible comparison.

is it true that you can run mullet with the flip chip on the 29 carbon? i don't see that advertised on the site, but it would be cool

@GlobalTrailGuide 2 жыл бұрын

From Canyon’s perspective (as well as other brands), they would tell you that the mullet bike is specifically designed for mixed wheels and that the 29er is specifically designed for 29 wheels. They’d say the bikes were optimized for the wheels. And they aren’t wrong, the rear triangles are technically different. However, consumers have been experimenting with different mullet setups prior to the brands designing them. When doing so, many consumers would often rely on a 29er in the high flip chip position and then use a 27.5 wheel. With the thought being that the smaller wheel offsets the difference in geo from the high position. Your results will vary from bike to bike, and I haven’t personally tested it with the Torque to give feedback for how it rides or if it’s a realistic thing to try. Some 29ers will be too low when you try to mullet them. A 2.6 or 2.8 27.5 tire can also help to keep the rear axle higher though.

Overall, the capra is ever so slightly tamer - not quite as slack, shorter chainstay, etc. From a components perspective, the core 1 and torque AL 5 share the same suspension and similar entry level wheels, however, the capra is Sram NX vs the torque’s Shimano Deore.

Thanks man 🤘🏼 I have to agree, more brands should get rowdy (and on low end builds). Also agree the Commencal can be hit or miss, bland at the least. But colors are always cyclical. They used to be bright and colorful, so now they’re onto the earthy tones. However, I do really love the new purple they released this year. I think I saw it on a Meta HT and a SX (maybe?)

This is true, but they’re usually tastefully placed inside of the front triangle. Not on the back of the seat tube (plus these stickers are hideous, not made to last, and the size is already painted on the top tube).

@Poraqui 2 жыл бұрын

@@GlobalTrailGuide My point was missed. What for you can be considered a misstep on this manufacturers part might have a reason beyond being a cheapening strategy to maximize profit on an already overpriced item. It might have to do, for instance, maintenance where cable accessibility, can be key to service that particular bike or swap or replace components. Sometimes internal cable routing might have gone too far and stops the rider from effectively customizing the bike to its needs and taste. It is still a bicycle after all. In 2003-2005 the standards from what we expect from high end bikes weren't different, we valued in the same way our hard earned money but there was a criticism focused on other aspects of owning a MTB. Cabling was rarely an issue no matter the price. And the same rough and challenging terrains were equally tackled with. Internal routing has as much of an engineering/practical application as a marketing/sales one. You have all the right in the world to point out your personal misgivings with your bike, but I believe we have think about if in the end is a fair criticism and if it indeed will stop others from acquiring a product that, all things, considered might be what they're looking for and fits their budget.

@GlobalTrailGuide 2 жыл бұрын

@@Poraqui the primary basis for my argument is that I'm making comparisons to what I've seen from other brands. For example, my prior Commencal had a "square" tube on the chain stay to allow the cable to neatly run within it - easy to service and keeps the cable out of harms way, while also looking great. I'm one of the consumers buying this bike because it fits my budget. I'm also informing others what to expect if they purchase the same bike, expanding in greater detail than what can be seen on Canyon's website.

@GlobalTrailGuide 2 жыл бұрын

@@ignaciosevil2157 I think Canyon might be measuring effective TT differently than everyone else. Their reach numbers are still comparable to other brands and that’s the figure most people rely on for determining size. Looking at Canyons geometry image, they’re measuring effective TT from the position of saddle center instead of seat tube center. I can assure you the bike fits just like every other enduro bike on the market, give or take 10mm. Generally Commencals are referred to as the massive enduro bikes, look at the reach numbers (520 on XL clash and Meta AM).
