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.

What is the maximum tyre clearance for the Exceed CFR?

The maximum tire size we’d recommend would be a 2.35/2.4 tire mounted to a rim with an internal width of 30mm rim. Tire sizes, of course, vary from one tire manufacturer to another, so we always recommend that riders double check tire clearance immediately after installing their new rear tire.
