Summary
The Canyon Exceed is a light, fast, and beautifully smooth carbon hardtail that blurs the lines between XC speed and trail capability. It's efficient under power, skips up climbs like a mountain goat, and offers lively handling for tight singletrack. The bike is noted for its comfortable carbon frame that absorbs small bump vibrations well, and the addition of a dropper post enhances descending confidence.

The Canyon Exceed CF SL 7.0 Pro Race is one of those bikes that is helping to redefine a complete genre of mountain biking.
Sprightly climbing.
Compliant and not as harsh as you might expect.
Component spec.
Reach could be a fraction longer.
Rear Ikon tyre too ready to break traction under power.

The Canyon Exceed is a light, fast and beautifully smooth carbon hardtail. Then we added a dropper post and fat tyres to see how hard we could push it.

[ad3] This time we tested the Canyon Exceed CF SLX 9.9 Pro Race, a hardtail 29er whose frame weights only 870gr. It is 300gr lighter than the previous model, the Grand Canyon SLX, which weighted 1170gr. Though it was showcased in August 2015, on this bike Alban Lakata had already won the 2015 marathon World Championship during the Sellaronda Hero at Selva di Val Gardena. Specs The Exceed Cf SLX 9.9 Pro Race was supplied as in the catalogue. The fork is a 32mm RockShox RS-1 with X Loc remote on the bar. The transmission is a SRAM XX1 groupset
