Exceed CFR

An 8.9kg 29 inch carbon fibre hardtail. Made for racers, by racers. This is Canyon Factory Racing, the Next Level.

The new speed of light

At 835g*, the CFR frame is astonishingly light, thanks to the extremely rare Toray M40X carbon fibre (AKA unicorn hair). With CFR, the Exceed lives up to its name, defying all expectations and delivering the carbon trifecta: light + stiff + strong = victory.

*Size M

Balanced geometry

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.

With 29’ wheels on all sizes, you’ll handle everything the rowdiest XC course throws at you.

Made for racers, by racers

CFR is 6 years in the making with over 30 000 hours of test riding. Every aspect of the Exceed, from the race-fit cockpit to revolutionary DT Swiss dropper post has been tested with the best.
