its a sick bike, but that bottle opening is hideous. I bought another bike because of that, the aesthetics are just off, I like being able to carry water, but the look really is weird. Bet it rides well though! have a great time
@@LEVOLIFE14 I like it because I don’t have to worry about losing my water bottle on the jumps. It has a strap to hold it in. I think the water bottle looks cool.
It’s my first time using the SHIMANO EP8 motor and overall I was pretty impressed by the over-run on the motor. Doesn’t sound as torquey as the Brose the power is absolutely there.
Hi mate, I usually ride 160/150mm and have only ever used that travel. After adjusting the Fox X2 to my liking, I can honestly say that it did not feel sluggish at all. It’s feels so plush and smooth, it’s also extremely playful and feels lighter that 23.5kg. This was 27.5/27.5 I usually ride a mullet. The geometry is really slack, comfortable and quite progressive!! I also tried the Strive:ON and the geometry felt more like my 2022 Specialized Levo which is also a wicked bike. The Torque:ON is revolutionary, fist of its kind as a downhill ebike. I’ve made my Levo as downhill as possible. I believe I’ve have the best of both worlds (Strive:ON & Torque:On) with my downhill Levo. Awesome bike but I wouldn’t trade. The Torque:ON does come with awesome spec and great value for money!!!
@@LEVOLIFE14 thanks so much mate!! I currently ride 2020 turbo levo with 170 mm fox 38, and run mullet. looking to get a new bike, but I dont want to sacrifice playfulness too much. we dont have Strive ON in US yet, maybe next year, who knows. I really like the look of this Torque ON, but worry it'd bee too sluggish. thanks again for your input.
Very nice

It is an odd design but looks quite cool with the bottle in place!
@@LEVOLIFE14 yeah i bet its better in person / real life but def odd lol

Sick bike but Shimano EP8 still rattles like hell :( what a shame

Mine arrives tomorrow, I’m stoked!
@@EMTBLifer didn't they stop selling all Shimano bikes with that 900 and 720Wh batteries? (yours (starting with CF8) will come with an EP801, right?)
What is the rattling sound ?
I couldn’t find out where the noise was coming from, some have said it’s the motor.
how playful is this bike? for a big travel bike, I would think it would be sluggish, but you seem to handle it very well.

@@LEVOLIFE14 The new Torque:On that you ride must be mullet 29/27.5
@@kemalyayoz it was quite literally the ONLY Torque:ON in the UK available. I noticed Sam Pilgrims Torque:ON was a mullet setup though!
@@LEVOLIFE14 I have the old version of this bike and it's full 27.5 But the new version released by Canyon with only mullet option.
