Considering the torque ranges I see in the manual, I think a beam type torque wrench is well within the needs of this bike. A beam may be off some, but its consistent.

The beam types may be a little harder to read in tight locations, but it'd be more versatile. You can use them to read moving resistance, or whatever the technical term is, which you can't with the "click" type.

I like beam-type torque wrenches. Cheaper and no "smoke and mirrors" to depend on.
Here's what I do to make mine easier to read in tight conditions:
I just place a bit of masking tape on the scale at the torque I'm targeting. It's a lot easier to see when the pointer gets to the edge of the tape than it is to see when the pointer gets to a mere mark on the scale.
IHTH someone!

If its critical I not Over Torque one, I drill the number plate & put a pin in to stop the needle from passing the torque setting I want, then I can pull as hard as I want & itll never go past the right torque.. yep, thats how it works allright..

Like Digger, I prefer a beam type as you can see what is going on when doing a head torque pull up. You can see and feel the fastener "grab" and not rotate freely, so you know to stop and unscrew and lube it so as to get accurate pull up torque reading.
Justin is pulling your leg, of course -- just he left off his
faces.
