Expirience with the Canyon Exceed CF SLX

Canyon Exceed CF SLX Review
Ludwig Döhl
A lot of integration into the frame, an extremely low weight and good stiffness. The Exceed CF SLX is a race hardtail as it should be. The weight of a bike is a central factor for riding pleasure on any kind of terrain. With 9,84 kg, the Canyon Hardtail is one of the lightest Racebike on the market, which makes for great riding on singletrails. When it comes down to handling, Canyon does not compromise. With its balanced handling style, the Canyon Hardtail is ready for the majority of singletrails. The view of the geometry data clearly reveals: the Exceed CF SLX has a sporty seating position. The easy rolling tires, the 520 wide range of gears and the lock-out capacity of the suspension underline the sporty ambitions in the uphill. We like: 6 years warranty on the frame! Caution when selecting the size: the Carbon frame sizing runs big.
