Highlights Exceed CF SLX 8

Key features

Integrated Seat Clamp

An internal seat clamp design grips the seatpost further down, increasing the effective bending length for more comfort. The clean, frame-integrated clamp is also more aero than a traditional design.

It Protects What Matters Most

Think of it as frame insurance. Should you crash, the Exceed’s integrated Impact Protection Unit prevents your handlebars from over rotating and striking your top tube.

Stay Hydrated

You can mount two bottle cages in the frame and carry up to 1.5 litres of fluid using our Canyon Fuel bottles. It’s possible on all frame sizes (though we recommend Canyon Sideloader cages on XS frames). Never run out of liquid, even on long races and training rides. Alternatively, you can fit a tool capsule in one of the cages.

Bike classification

This category also covers the requirements of categories 1-2. In addition it includes use on harsher, unpaved terrain. The scope for these bikes includes occasional jumps up to a maximum height of 60 cm. Jumps of this scale can cause inexperienced riders to have accidents on landing, which can result in injury. Hardtail mountain bikes and full-suspension bikes with short travel are included in this category.
