Expirience with the Canyon Exceed CF SLX 9

Ludwig Döhl A lot of integration into the frame, an extremely low weight and good stiffness. The Exceed CF SLX 9 is a race hardtail as it should be. 9,9 kg is great value for the total weight of a Racebike. On all kinds of trails, the Canyon Exceed CF SLX 9 therefore rides significantly lighter-footed than its competitors. The moderate 69 degree head tube angle ensures a balanced handling. The sporty riding position allows for very effective pedaling. Considering that in the range under 6000 Euro, hardly any other manufacturer makes a better bike for the same specs of wheels. Nice! With 6 years the warranty is another neat feature. Pay attention when selecting your size: the Exceed CF SLX 9 sizing runs big.
