I like to explain you the difference between the torque and speed with a simple example.

Let us assume that two cyclist are riding. The first cyclist is riding alone. The second cyclist is riding with an additional rider at his back. Let us assume that both are travelling at the same speed. But, both of them will not exert the same force. i.e., the first cyclist exerts less torque and the second one exerts more torque, though both are travelling at the same speed.
