Canyon Dream Bike Build, Torque AL Fabio Schäfer

We had a mission: Building the Dream Bike for Fabio Schäfer. MTB rider and YouTuber Fabio Schäfer is a bicycle enthusiast with a garage full of bikesfrom hardtails to crosscountry bikes to downhill bikes to gravel bikes. Before he is heading to Whistler, it was time for a new Torque for some serious downhill riding. To create this special design, we turned to Fabio s wife, Liz, who, together with Fabio, creates designs for his branding. His motto, Fight your Demons stands for overcoming the Schweinehund, which is the inner voice that encourages you to be lazy. When cycling, in particular, you have to fight against yourself quite often. For Fabio, the emphasis is on the positive vibes, having a good time with likeminded people, and improving day by day while paying less attention to the competitive side. The bike s frame alone makes it easy to recognize Fabio s style in this bike thanks to the rawlooking black and silver color scheme and
