Torque CF CLLCTV FW

It's tuned for reliability and control rather than maximum speed. In mountain-bike land, this is a pedaling-speed measure - how fast it rolls when you're working for it. The main reasons are a heavier build, typical trail-width tires, and a high-end drivetrain that tends to feel crisp under load. On hardpack, the tire setup is biased toward rolling speed on firm ground.

Uphill performance score: 9.1/10. Within Mountain bikes, it ranks near the top. The easiest gear is very spin-friendly on hills. That lowest gear comes out around 16.6 gear inches. In its peer group, it lands around the easier ~88% for low-gear climbing. We use “gear inches” as a shortcut for climbing gearing. Lower numbers mean you can spin more easily when it gets steep. Weight is around 15.9 kg, which you notice more on longer or slower climbs. You’ll be able to keep a steady spin even when it gets steep. 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: 9/10, classed as “Extreme rough-terrain ready”. It’s intended for the roughest use cases, where suspension control is critical. With suspension in the front and rear, the bike can stay more settled through repeated bumps. It’s designed for steep, fast terrain where bumps are large and frequent. Travel is the available suspension movement when the wheel hits an impact. Here it’s about 170 mm up front and 175 mm at the rear. Bigger travel numbers typically feel calmer when the surface gets rough.

Sporty fit - more tuck for efficiency, but still manageable for many riders. That's driven by the front end is large, with ~87 mm of saddle-to-bar drop, with a extreme stretch forward at ~647 mm. Plan for roughly 35 degrees of lean. Front-end spacers are estimated around 14 mm.

That is why we tag it Moderately Adjustable. This rating is mainly driven by the parts that affect adjustability: A modular front-end gives more freedom to change stem length or bar width, and A more service-friendly routing setup makes changes easier.

Ride comfort is 8.5/10 — on a real ride it feels highly forgiving. So it’s tagged Comfortable overall. The posture is forward, attacking (posture 7/10, torso ~35°), which loads the front wheel, which feels great for control but a bit more direct through the bars.

This feels like you’re paying extra for the same kind of bike. The value score is 1–10. Higher means better value for money; lower means the price is high for what you get. Uses MSRP as a baseline; real-world prices can be lower (discounts can change the value). On the spec comparison, it sits roughly 30% above what similar builds typically cost. Compared with similar bikes, it trends a little expensive (cheaper than about 36% of listings). To anchor it: price €5.774 versus an estimated €4.436 for a similar build. Put simply: it’s a bit pricey for what you get.

This setup is built to handle steep lines and heavy impacts. It has about 175 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which is useful for big hits and steeper descents. Even though it’s tagged Enduro, the setup fits Bike Park better.
