Exceed CF Young Hero

A top quality carbon frame, made using the same materials and processes as the ones the Canyon pros ride, helps young riders develop vital skills. Lightweight and durable, this frame is also feature packed – each bike comes with an integrated seatpost clamp, Impact Protection Unit, and dropper post compatibility.

This bike comes with a cleverly chosen spec that suits smaller mountain bikers. Shorter cranks help prevent pedal strikes on the trails and while the narrower bars provide a more comfortable fit, the gear ratio is best suited to younger riders who need easier gears to climb uphill, and the tuneable fork lets them get all of the performance that you'd expect from our adult bikes.

Hydration is so important for young riders, it helps keep them in the best condition to climb up hills and focused for the descents. This bike can carry 1.5 litres of water with the Canyon Fuel bottles, even on the smallest frames with the Canyon Sideloader water bottle cages.

Our latest IPU – short for Impact Protection Unit – is perfectly integrated into the frame at the headset and protects the top tube from over-rotating handlebars in the event of a crash. The system doesn’t affect the bike’s manoeuvrability – you can still turn the bars far enough to nail the tightest switchbacks on the course.

An internal clamp design secures the seatpost deeper in the seat tube increasing the post’s effective bending length and improving ride comfort. The special clamp is built into the frame making it more aero than traditional designs.
