Ken Roczen Canyon Torque: On

We first laid eyes on the Ken Roczen Canyon Torque: On MTB in Kenny’s pits at the Salt Lake Supercross a couple of years ago and we’ve been intrigued ever since. Based in Germany, Canyon is a high-quality bicycle brand that has a direct-to-consumer business model that allows riders to get more bike for their money. We think it’s awesome that a bike company sees the value in a motocross hero like Roczen and has created a signature bike for him, complete with moto styling and Ken’s number 94 emblazoned on the frame! The Torque: ON is powered by the tried and true Shimano EP8 motor, puts the power to the ground via the wireless, electric SRAM X01 drivetrain, and boasts 180mm of suspension travel provided by Rock Shox. We’ve been playing on the Roczen Torque: On for several weeks now, and took it for one of our last rides recently at Santiago Oaks Park and shared our thoughts on the bike, as we rode!
