CANYON EXCEED

Beyond limits

Every aspect of the Exceed has been tested with the best of the best XC racers.

The Exceed line-up is based on the existing Exceed frame, a proven performer at the pinnacle of XC racing in the hands of generational talents such as Mathieu van der Poel, Ceylin del Carmen Alvarado, and Andreas Seewald to name just three. The new bikes combine fresh new artworks and race-proven components with all the signature design innovation that has taken the Exceed to the very top for season after season – incredible stiffness-to-weight, superlight carbon construction, and a perfectly balanced geometry.

Exceed CF SLX

World Cup DNA in a privateer race package.

The Exceed CF SLX is a bike made for serious competition, taking the pro-level design of the World Championship-winning Exceed CFR and making it available on a privateer racer’s budget. For 2023, Canyon are slimming down and simplifying their Exceed CF SLX offering, with one CF SLX model available. The Exceed CF SLX uses the same race-proven 1015 g (size M) frameset from last year’s bike, now with a dash of extra eye-catching style.

Exceed CF

A more accessible entry-level build.

The Exceed CF is all about taking the Exceed’s World Championship-winning, Leadville-smashing, podium-dominating design and making it available to more riders than ever before. Just like the CF SLX, the Exceed CF range features new paintjobs across the board for 2023, with highlights including the CF 6’s gorgeous Quick Silver colourway and the understated class of the Sandstone Fire design available on the CF 7, 5, and 4.
