Exceed CF SLX
An all-out carbon cross-country race hardtail. Incredible stiffness-to-weight, aggressive geometry, 100 mm front travel.

A 1015g* carbon frame
The new Exceed is now lighter, stiffer and stronger. And when we weigh the frame, we weigh the whole frame. Meaning that 1015g also includes artwork, chainsuck plate, chainstay protector, integrated seatpost clamp, and universal derailleur hanger.
