When I attended the launch of the Canyon Lux World Cup<\/a> in Koblenz, Germany last month, I was given a tour of Canyon\u2019s production factory.<\/p>\n

I witnessed a fascinating industrial-scale process, and the brand leads an impressively tightly managed operation.<\/p>\n

Once all of the parts are available for a specific bike, the frame and components head down an assembly line, with each station carrying out a different part of the build process.<\/p>\n

At the end of the build, each bike heads to a mechanic\u2019s station to carry out a PDI (pre-delivery inspection) check before it\u2019s boxed and shipped out to the customer.<\/p>\n

My inner tool nerd was quickly drawn out when I was guided towards one mechanic\u2019s work station and caught a glimpse of the torque wrench the technicians were using.<\/p>\n

BikeRadar technical editor Tom Marvin has already covered the wrench on our YouTube channel, but it\u2019s worth revisiting.<\/p>\n\n<p>The Canyon mechanics use a digital WiFi <a href=\""https:\/\/www.bikeradar.com\/features\/the-best-cycling-torque-wrenches\/"\">torque wrench<\/a> that automatically adjusts itself to torque each and every bolt on a new bike. The torque wrench features LED lighting that illuminates on a scale as you reach the required torque.<\/p>\n<p>It then registers the data to a central server, where the information is stored.<\/p>\n<p>Canyon has the ability to scan the QR code label on the underside of a bike and it can then discover exactly what torque each bolt was tightened to during the PDI.<\/p>\n<div
