60 RECOMMENDED TORQUE VALUES
USING THE CANYON TORQUE WRENCH
We from Canyon regard the use of a torque wrench as
essential so as to ensure that two parts can be fixed
together securely and safely.
Exceeding the maximum torque value at the clamping
bolts (e.g. at the stem, seat post or seat post clamp)
leads to an excessively high clamping force. This
can cause the component to fail and hence there is
a high associated risk of accidents. In addition, the
product guarantee would be null and void in such a
case. Screws or bolts that are too loose or are done
up too tightly can cause a failure and hence lead to
an accident. Always observe strictly the torque values
indicated by Canyon.
Put the matching bit into the holder of the Canyon
torque wrench.
Insert the Allen key fully into the screw head.
Slowly turn the handle of the Canyon torque wrench.
Once the bolt is getting tight, the pointer moves over
the scale. Stop the turning movement as soon as the
pointer reaches the number of the prescribed torque
value.
Assemble your Canyon using the Canyon
i
torque wrench enclosed with the Bike-
Guard.

The pointer moves over the scale. Stop the turning movement as
soon as the pointer reaches the number of the prescribed torque
value.
Some components have the maximum per-
i
missible torque values printed on them.
Observe these limit values wherever you find
them.
Canyon frame:
Bottle cage bolts 4.5 Nm
Replaceable derailleur hanger 1.5 Nm
Canyon seat post clamp: 3-5 Nm
If your Urban bike has a Wheelguard for fastening,
read chapter "How to use the Wheelguard".
Use the following torque values, unless otherwise
indicated by the stem or seat post manufacturer on
the component itself or in the respective assembly
instructions.
Stem:
M5 bolts 4.5-5.5 Nm
M6 bolts 8-9.6 Nm
Adjusting bolt (on top) with Ahead stems 0.5-2 Nm
Seat post:
Saddle clamp at seat post head
Seat posts with single bolt 20-24 Nm
Seat posts with two bolts in line 6-9 Nm
Seat posts with two bolts 12-14 Nm
side-by-side in direction of motion
Seat post VCLS 2.0 max. 5 Nm
With steerer tubes made of carbon
i
(black-coloured) tighten the stem with a
maximum torque value of 6 Nm.
RECOMMENDED TORQUE VALUES
Torque value
All bolted connections on the components
of your Canyon have to be tightened care-
fully and checked regularly to ensure the safe
operation of your bike. This is best done with a
torque wrench that switches off as soon as the
desired torque value has been reached. Tighten
the bolts carefully by approaching the maximum
permissible torque value in small steps. Check
the secure seat of the component, as described
in the relevant chapters. For parts without torque
specifications, tighten the bolts gradually and
check in between whether the component is al-
ready fastened sufficiently, as described in the
relevant chapters. Do not exceed the maximum
torque value.
Some components have the maximum per-
i
missible torque values printed on them.
Observe these limit values wherever you find
them.
