Expirience with the Canyon Exceed CF 7

Ludwig Döhl A lot of integration into the frame, an extremely low weight and good stiffness. The Exceed CF 7 is a race hardtail as it should be. On the scale, the Canyon Racebike with 10,5 kg looks good. Most Racebike in the price range until under 3000 Euro are heavier. We have checked all geometry measures and come to the following conclusion: the Canyon Racebike is a very balanced customer. The seating position is sporty. A shout out to Canyon – we take our hats off, because a first-class price / performance ratio make the Exceed CF 7 for on sporty excursions a benchmark in the price range under 3000 Euro. The guarantee of 6 years proves that Canyon is behind its products. Pay attention when selecting your size: the Canyon Exceed CF 7 sizing runs big.
