Fabio Wibmer has just released what could be his best mountain bike video epic yet – The Strief. The new edit sees the Red Bull MTB freeride legend riding down the toughest and steepest downhill ski run in the world. The Strief is home to The Hahnenkamm downhill ski race, which holds a fearsome reputation and challenges the world's best downhill skiers every year, but riding a mountain bike down here was on another level all together.
In the video Wibmer hits speeds of 100km/h+ on his adapted Canyon Torque while performing some breathtaking tricks on the steep slopes that in sections have gradients of 85 percent. I wondered if the Torque used differed from an off-the-shelf version. After contacting Canyon, they shared some of the details on the bike and some words from Fabio on what adaptations he made and how it performed. So read on to find out more about Fabio Wibmer's special one-of-a-kind Canyon Torque, his MTB weapon of choice for The Strief.
