Summary

The Canyon Exceed is a lightweight, efficient cross-country bike designed for speed and agility, particularly on tight, twisty trails. It offers impressive components for the money, with a focus on direct power delivery and sharp handling. However, it may lack comfort on rough terrain and versatility compared to some modern XC bikes.

Pros
  • Lightweight and efficient design

  • Sharp handling on tight trails

  • Impressive components for the price

Cons
  • Less comfortable on rough terrain

  • Not as versatile as some competitors

  • Limited opportunities for test rides due to direct-to-consumer model

Key Quotes
Astounding value with an impressive kit list
BikeRadar logoBikeRadar
Canyon’s new Exceed hardtail is aimed at vanquishing long-distance stage races, such as the Cape Epic, and blitzing short-course XC sprints.

The last time I rode a hardtail race machine was exactly a year ago at the 10@Kirroughtree race, and it was such a terrifying experience I switched to a 30lb trail bike with 150mm forks after one lap.

Canyon Tips the Scales with New Exceed Hardtail

août 2020

We’ve seen a few high-profile XC hardtails released in the past month.

Canyon Exceed CF SL 7.0 review

juil. 2020 · Tom Marvin

A fast-handling bike that’s exceptionally good value, but is best suited to tight, twisty tracks

Highs
  • Impressive components for the money

  • Snappy acceleration and handling gives a peppy, involving ride in tight terrain

Lows
  • Skittery feel over high-frequency chatter and not the comfiest ride, limiting speed in some situations

  • Direct-to-consumer model means limited opportunities for test rides, and only remote back-up if anything goes wrong

Canyon Exceed CF SL 7.0 Pro Race 2018 review - MBR

août 2018 · James Bracey

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.

Highs
  • Sprightly climbing.

  • Compliant and not as harsh as you might expect.

  • Component spec.

Lows
  • Reach could be a fraction longer.

  • Rear Ikon tyre too ready to break traction under power.
