What is the difference between an Exceed CFR and an Exceed CF SLX?

All models use the same mold, which means that all Exceed models share the same core design features and frame shaping. The three different carbon frame platforms (CF, SLX, and CFR) differ, however, in material content and layup. With the new CFR we went further than ever before on a mountain bike and achieved an incredibly low weight, making it our lightest hardtail frame to date and definitely one of the lightest frames on the market.

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.

Performance that goes the distance

A slack 69 degree head angle, a 10mm reach increase and 80mm stems boosts your control on tough terrain while still proving quick and nimble through the tightest trails.

Perfect for the varying conditions Andreas Seewald faced when he claimed the MTB Marathon European title.

A 322g carbon cockpit

Achieve a more aerodynamic ride position and shave precious seconds from your best efforts. The new headset design and cable routing improves steering while reducing cockpit clutter.

A 420g dropper post

Exceed CF SLX comes stocked with a specially-designed aluminium dropper post from DT Swiss, tipping the scale at a mere 420g.
