We wanted to learn how Canyon build hundreds of thousands of bikes a year in their German assembly plant. So who better to show us than YouTube LEGEND Sam Pilgrim?!
Canyon offered us the chance to head to Koblenz with Sam, to get a fully guided tour of their assembly plant, with Sam put through his mechanical paces, building up a few new Torque:ON eMTB’s.
Sounds simple, right? It turns out that there’s no time to mess things up, or have a brew mid-build, as this factory stops for no one, not even Sam!
He’s got to prep the frame, feed the cables through, fit the forks, motor and battery, and get the wheels and tyres ready to go – it’s non-stop…
So, how did he do? Find out here.
For more information on the updates to Canyon’s re-worked batteries for the Torque:ON and Spectral:ON, follow these links 👉

Huge thanks to Sam Pilgrim for coming with us to Germany, and to Canyon for showing us around!

Would you trust Sam to build your bike? 😆
I enjoyed this a lot actually.
great watch
I don't think this was the plan, but I just ordered an M18 fuel battery adapter for my drill!
Is that a Ben10 watch ?
You mean in the factory, you don't use the sidewalk to remove burs, and not use a rock as a hammer? How can you function? Still, it was fun to see how it is done in the Canyon Factory, and no American Guy Dusty to hit on the head!
The Canyon employees are looking nervous about Sam interrupting the production process! 😂😂
i bought a canyon and it split in half and they never helped my warranty so until next time
I wish Canyon would invite me to their factory 😉
I've now watched the whole video, and two questions come to mind.
1) If someone can ride a bike like Sam, how can they have so little technical understanding?
2) How can you build such crappy bikes with such a production line, bikes that fall apart like the Torque, or the Spectral where the chain saws through the frame, or where the batteries are just absolute garbage?
I reckon they should've got you to sign 10 bikes. Who wouldn't wanna end up with one signed by you.
Aren't you supposed to state when it's a sponsored video?
Okay. But, where's the Pilgrips? 🧐
Got myself a Spectral ON CFR 2 weeks ago, 160 miles on the clock and I've never had so much fun on the Quantocks. Thank you Canyon, fantastic bike.
So Sam pilgrim gets a new bike and us poor customers that bought canyons with the faulty battery’s got told not to ride them for a year.. given a new battery that’s still incased in plastic and a poxy cheque for £150 never buying a canyons again! Avoid at all costs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cool factory tour!
That was awesome 👍
Canyon's lawyers wouldnt let him in the headset installation room.
It seems like it could have sped up the assembly line if they would have let Sam magic the tires on to the wheels
Sam is the best
Cable Tourism is so bad, Sam can't even do it himself.
Most stressed I’ve ever seen Sam 😅
He didn't smooth the steerer tube on the edge of the pavement
i have the torque on cf8 2024 and no my battery hasn't been changed while it is cracked at the bolts. I've been waiting for more than a year now! I'm really disappointed in the customer service of canyon.
Could you give me the same bike for free
Stanchions have to be painted in lime green
$12.999
❤🎉
why is there always some dude in the background with their arms folded staring at you lmao while ur doing all this makes it kinda weird
no wonder why some bikes come a little fucked brand new, cause they are rushing to fit everything
Wow! That was so cool – great to see real people building thew bikes not just robots!
I dont trust the bike if the production process didnt involve a brick, an angle grinder and a well scratched curb
Last time I wore a watch while skiing I crashed and broke it keep in mind I was like 7
Sam Is not a professional
cool bike but this ep800 sucks
Great Team Great Brand!!!! one day, one of them will be mine
robot work
