How about a lil BMX news today? Yesterday, Dayton, Ohios Huffy dropped a new elite-level BMX race frame in the new Primus. This is Huffys second competitive-level frame since the brand returned to the sport.(Photos / Huffy)The frame was developed after 18 months, incorporating direct feedback from Huffys factory team racers. They tested three different prototypes in national competitions before racing on the final production version at the 2026 Legacy Nationals in May.Grey colorwayWhos Primus For?The Primus targets riders who are serious about racing and are competing at national and Olympic levels. This is a little different from last years pro-level Sledgehammer frame, which focused on freestyle riding. The frame has already proven itself in competition, with factory team riders earning notable results. These include two-time Olympian Nic Longs win at the USA BMX Grand Nationals, Carly Kanes silver medal at the USAC National Championships, and Ethan Popovichs first Elite Men podium finish during his rookie season.Pretty impressive. The Primus FrameRed colorwayThe Primus frame is built using 6061 T-6 aluminum. It incorporates some unique tech features. For instance, the frame uses a patent-pending captive external cable routing system. It provides the clean appearance of internal routing while making maintenance more accessible. Other features include cool, toolless integrated chain tensioners, a tapered headtube (1-1/8 to 1.5), and a T47 bottom bracket that maximizes frame stiffness while ensuring compatibility with future crank options. These design choices reflect input from professional racers who know the importance of equipment that performs consistently under competitive pressure while also being easily serviceable between races.Primus Retail & DetailRetail: $699 Material: 6061 T-6 Aluminum frameColorways: Gloss Red or Matte CharcoalSizes: Pro (20.5), Pro XL (21.25), and Pro XXL (22)Cable Routing: Huffys (patent pending) captive external system Axle: 15mm rear axle plates included (3/8 and 20mm available aftermarket)Braking: Hydraulic Post Mount 140mm Disc onlyTensioners: Captive toolless integrated chain tensionersHeadtube: Tapered 1-1/8 1.5 (IS42/IS52)More About the Huffy Pro BMX TeamNic LongCarly KaneEthan PopovichComposed of eight uniquely talented riders across both Race and Freestyle categories, the Huffy BMX team is united by a shared desire to see the sport of BMX grow and nurture the next generation.

The Torque has been a staple in Canyons mountain bike lineup for two decades. It has gone through six iterations in that time, but it has always been geared toward aggressive riders and terrain. Now, Canyon is unveiling the all-new Torque AL, an aluminum-framed long-travel mountain bike that they say excels at any and every kind of gravity riding. Enduro? Freeride? DH? Canyon says, Yes. With 180mm of travel front and rear, mixed wheels, and a Category 5 rated aluminum frame, the Torque AL represents a more affordable evolution of Canyons long-travel bruiser. With complete builds ranging from 2,499 to 3,999, it might be one of the best values out there.Canyon Torque AL DetailsWith the new Torque AL, Canyon didnt just produce an aluminum copy of the existing Torque CF. Instead, they went back to the drawing board with a ground-up redesign that they say is the most capable and versatile version yet, while also remaining relatively simple and affordable.The new Torque AL has a tough aluminum frame, which Canyon says is Category 5 rated for strength and durability for gravity riding. Front and rear travel have also been increased slightly to 180mm of gnar-devouring suspension and supremely confident control. Canyon continues to use the time-tested four-bar/Horst Link platform with revised kinematics to make it a better climber, without sacrificing downhill performance.The Torque AL comes in a Mullet wheel size configuration only, although the XS frame size comes with 27.5 wheels front and rear. While the majority of the complete Torque AL builds come with 180mm single-crown forks, it is also compatible with dual-crown forks with up to 190mm. In fact, Canyon will eventually be offering the Torque AL with a DH build and a 190mm RockShox Boxxer dual-crown fork. Theres also clearance in the frame for both air and coil shocks.The Torque AL frame features standard thru-frame, guided internal cable routing for hassle-free maintenance. The frame also comes with a rubberized shuttle guard, lower downtube protector, and chainslap protection on the drive-side chainstay and seatstay. Theres a set of bosses and space for a water bottle in the front triangle.GeometryCanyon designed the Torque AL with a geometry that suits its travel bracket and descriptors such as bruiser, brute, gnar, and gravity. This includes a slack head tube angle, a steep seat tube angle, modern reach measurements, and increased stack heights. It also includes a geometry-adjusting flip-chip to make 0.5-degree angle changes, as well as adjustable chainstay length between a more playful 430mm and a more stable 440mm.Increased stack height across the board for more confidence on steep terrainRefined reach dimensions on all frames (470mm on size M)Geometry-adjustable flip chip63.5-64 degree head tube angle78.5-79 degree effective seat tube angleAdjustable chainstay length 430 or 440mm5 frame sizes, from XS through XLCanyon Torque AL: Builds and PricingOne of Canyons stated goals for the Torque AL was to provide good value to consumers. According to the brand, this bike is living proof that top-shelf performancedoesntalways require carbon frames, idler pulleys, Gucci-grade electronic drivetrains, or price tags that make your eyes bleed. Wth prices starting at 2,499 and topping out at 3,999 with Fox Factory suspension, it certainly seems like Canyon is doing its best to offer quality builds, performance, and durability for less than the competition.Torque AL 7: 2,499 RockShox ZEB Base 180/Vivid Air BaseShimano Deore 12s drivetrainShimano SLX 4-piston brakesSunRingle SR309 wheelsetTorque AL 8: 2,999RockShox ZEB Select+ 180/Vivid Air SelectSRAM Eagle 70 Transmission 12s drivetrainSRAM Maven Base 4-piston brakesDT FT1900 wheelsetTorque AL 9: 3,999Fox 38 Factory 180/Float X2 FactorySRAM Eagle 90 Transmission 12s drivetrainSRAM Maven Silver 4-piston brakesDT EX1700 wheelsetTorque AL DH: not available yetRockShox Boxxer Base 190/Vivid Air BaseSRAM GX DH7 drivetrainSRAM Maven Base 4-piston brakesDT F1900 wheelsetFull Build SpecsThe Torque AL DH will be available later this year.Canyon Torque AL: AvailabilityCanyons all-new Torque AL models are available now in select markets.
