Canyon's proven performers get a racing spec update.

Downcountry might be the current trend, but for those of you looking for a pure XC race hardtail, the Canyon Exceed fits the bill. Already proven to be a winning formula after taking a World Championship, the course record at Leadville, and a number of World...

Canyon's latest XC race hardtail has one foot in the past and one in the present, but a laser-sharp focus on the podium

Pros
  1. Light
  2. fast and efficient
  3. providing the terrain’s not too technical. Bigger tyres and compliance built into the frame and seat post offer a modicum of comfort. Ergon grips
  4. Maxxis tyres and DT Swiss wheels are a bonus.
Cons
  1. Not as versatile as other modern XC bikes.

BikeRadar

Tom Marvin

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

Pros
  1. Impressive components for the money
  2. snappy acceleration and handling gives a peppy, involving ride in tight terrain
Cons
  1. Skittery feel over high-frequency chatter and not the comfiest ride, limiting speed in some situations
  2. direct-to-consumer model means limited opportunities for test rides, and only remote back-up if anything goes wrong
