Expirience with the Canyon Exceed CF 8

Ludwig Döhl A lot of integration into the frame, an extremely low weight and good stiffness. The Exceed CF 8 is a race hardtail as it should be. Thanks to a moderate 69 degree head tube angle, the handling is pleasantly balanced. Well trained athletes are likely to really enjoy the sporty seating position. On climbs, other bikes in the under 4500 Euro present a little better performance than the Canyon Exceed CF 8. For this, the shifting components are pretty much the best thing you can expect on a complete bike for 3999 Euro . The guarantee of 6 years proves that Canyon is behind its products. Check the size chart exactly before buying: the Exceed CF 8 sizing runs big.
