2021 Canyon Exceed Review | CF7 Hardtail Carbon XC Race Bike

This is a review of my 2021 Canyon Exceed carbon XC race bike. I have had the bike for a couple months now, and have accrued about 250 mixed use miles to have a good feel for how this bike performs. I can highly recommend this bike if you are getting into XC racing, or just want a quality, fun, fast bike with a solid part spec for riding gravel or moderate single track. As you can see in the series of videos I have done, the Canyon direct to consumer experience has been really good and their products off great style, attention to detail, and a fair price.
