Canyon Torque EX Gapstar (2014)

“On the trail, the Gapstar immediately shows how agile and manoeuvrable it is, it can be thrown from one turn to the next with total light-footedness." (World of MTB 02/13)
Riding uphill, you can turn the robust double Race Face Chester cranks with ease thanks to the best anti-squat kinematics – downhill, you benefit from the substantial 180 mm reserve spring travel. The Sram X9 derailleur with type 2 technology ensures smooth and precise gear shifts.

The chain stays firmly on the large ring, even on the roughest trails. At the front, the work is done by the sensitive RockShox Lyrik RC Solo Air with tapered head tube and 170 mm suspension travel. You are well prepared for all downhill eventualities with the high-end Cane Creek Double Barrel Air pneumatic shock. This offers a variety of setting options for the rear which is neutral relative to the drive.
