Torque:ON CF 8

This off-road speed rating describes how quickly the bike rolls under pedal power on smoother ground. Compared with bikes built for pure pace, this build is shaped by a heavier build, wheel momentum that helps it carry speed between pedal strokes, typical trail-width tires, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding. In real riding, it trades speed for comfort, durability, or practicality.

On steep roads, it comes in at 1.1/10. Within e-mountain bikes, this comes out near the bottom. The lowest gear is very tall when the road tilts up. The easiest gear works out to about 77.3 gear inches. This sits at the tough end — easier than only about ~1% of similar bikes. “Gear inches” sounds nerdy, but it’s just a quick way to describe how easy your lowest gear is to turn uphill. Lower usually means easier. At about 24.7 kg, it’s a heavy build; the low gear matters even more when the slope kicks up. Being an e-bike helps on climbs because the assist adds steady push when you need it. This is happiest on flatter terrain; steep stuff will feel demanding. Real-world feel depends on setup and size, and some details aren’t always listed, so this is best seen as a well-informed estimate.

Suspension performance: 9/10. It’s grouped into “Extreme rough-terrain ready”. This level targets big hits and very rough trails, prioritizing stability under repeated impacts. Full suspension helps the bike stay calmer under braking and cornering on rough sections. It’s designed for steep, fast terrain where bumps are large and frequent. Travel means the suspension’s movement range over a bump. On this bike it’s about 180 mm up front and 175 mm at the rear. Generally, more travel helps when hits get bigger or come faster.

Sporty fit - a performance-leaning position that encourages speed. This is mainly because the cockpit sits 85 mm below the saddle (a large drop), and the cockpit stretches you forward by ~657 mm (extreme). Estimated lean is about 34 degrees.

Fit adjustability is shaped by a few key choices: Because the bar and stem are separate, changing reach or bar shape is usually straightforward, Cable routing is on the simpler side, which helps adjustability - Seatpost info looks fairly neutral, so most fit change comes from cockpit choices. So it lands in Moderately Adjustable.

Comfort comes out to 8.5/10, which usually translates to a highly forgiving ride. So it’s tagged Comfortable overall. The posture is forward, attacking (posture 8/10, torso ~34°), which puts you in an attack stance, which can feel more intense on long, rough descents.

For the spec, this feels competitively priced. Value is scored 1–10: higher is better value, lower means you’re paying more than similar bikes. Uses MSRP as a baseline; real-world prices can be lower (discounts can change the value). On the spec estimate, the price is close to what we’d expect for a comparable build. In its peer group, it tends to be better-priced than many, beating about 80% of listings. To anchor it: price €6.299 versus an estimated €6.731 for a similar build. Some manufacturer details aren’t fully published, so use this as a helpful direction rather than a final verdict. Put simply: it’s competitively priced for what you get.

This bike is made for very rough terrain, big hits, and bike-park riding. It has about 175 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which is useful for big hits and steeper descents. It’s listed as Enduro, but the parts point more toward Bike Park.
