The longstanding North Van shop is one of a network of Authorized Service Partners Canyon is building across Canada. That network already spans from coast-to-coast, or from Oak Bay Bikes in Victoria, B.C. to Cyclesmith\u2019s two locations in Halifax and Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.<\/p>\n<p>Adding a brick-and-morter service element to the Canyon experience wasn\u2019t just about e-bikes. These locations are a friendly port for any Canyon owner weathering a mechanical storm or misfortune. Locations with real people that are trained specifically on Canyon\u2019s bikes and with stock of any proprietary parts specific to Canyon bikes.<\/p>\n<p>For Canyon, having that service element in place was a crucial step to bringing eMTB\u2019s to Canada. E-bikes of all stripes are undeniably more complex to work on. Knowing you\u2019ll have expert support on hand and nearby is a huge positive when considering buying from a direct-to-consumer brand.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Canyon-emtb-8.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-142461\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Canyon-emtb-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\"  \/><\/a>The Torque is an electric gravity beast!<br \/>\nA fully fledged fleet of ripping Canyon eMTBs<\/p>\n<p>The exciting part is, of course, the bikes. And it is an exciting fleet. Canyon already has years of development backing up its extensive eMTB line up. That\u2019s made these bikes popular in markets where they\u2019re already available. It also makes them a known, proven bike for Canadians considering their next eMTB. This isn\u2019t a brand tip-toeing into electric trail riding for the first time. It\u2019s well established and shred ready.<\/p>\n<p>At Endless, the two eMTB on tap are the Spectral:ON and Torque:ON. Those make sense considering the shop\u2019s North Vancouver location. I expected the Torque:ON to be the go-to for the shop. Co-founder Darren Butler describes the 180mm e-gravity rig as an \u201cabsolute pillow\u201d on the steepest, rowdiest North Shore tech.<\/p>\n<p>The surprise hit? Endless\u2019s team was really impressed by the 150mm\/160mm, MX wheeled Spectral:ON. That tracks. When we tested the standard Spectral, we absolutely loved it as an all-rounder trail bike capable of having fun and going fast on just about any trail, while making every trail exciting.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Canyon-emtb-7.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-142460\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Canyon-emtb-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Canyon\u2019s range expands beyond those two bikes, and in either direction.\u00a0At the other end from the Spectral:ON, the Strive:ON takes Canyon\u2019s winning enduro rig and super-charges it. Bosch Line CX drive systems power a rig with gravity race pedigree so you can push your limits on the descents without draining your own battery on the climbs.<\/p>\n<p>With that breadth of bikes, Canyon makes an electric MTB for any rider. And, with Canyon already showing a off a few new models with Avinox\u2019s wild M2S motor, the rage of bikes available to Canadians starting in the fall will be expanding, too.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Canyon-emtb-6.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-142459\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Canyon-emtb-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\"  \/><\/a>Canyon utilises motors from most manufacturers, including Bosch, Shimano and a couple new ones in the works\u2026<br \/>\nCanadians deserve clear pricing<\/p>\n<p>Another major change that Canyon wanted to be in place before its e-bikes launched in Canada is clear pricing. When buying from overseas direct-to-consumer brands, the price you see when you order can, sometimes, come with a surprise import fee later on. In its early days in Canada, this included Canyon. The German brand has now fixed that quirk. The price you see when you order is the full price of the bike, shipping and duties included, so there are no surprises to dampen the joy of new bike day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Five years after German global powerhouse, Canyon, started selling its bikes in Canada the brand\u2019s eMTBs are finally&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":830816,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[49,48,44],"class_list":["post-830815","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-canada","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/830815","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=830815"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/830815\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/830816"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=830815"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=830815"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=830815"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
