Expirience with the Canyon Exceed CF 5

Canyon Exceed CF 5 Review A lot of integration into the frame, an extremely low weight and good stiffness. The Exceed CF 5 is a race hardtail as it should be. On the scale, the Racebike of Canyon with 11,7 kg looks good. Most Racebike in the price range until under 2000 Euro are heavier. With its geometry, the Racebike of Canyon is right in the middle between playfulness and high speed stability. Due to the interplay of a relatively long top tube and a low stack, the riding position is sporty. If a high-quality shifting system is particularly important to you, you probably will not be happy with the Racebike of Canyon. On the way to the summit, the Exceed CF 5 lets it rip. With its 510 bandwidth on the gears and the overall athletic alignment, the in light terrain competitors got some catching up to do. The guarantee of 6 years proves that Canyon puts a lot of trust in its products. Caution when selecting the size: the Carbon frame sizing runs big.
