In celebration of the launch of the Exceed CF SLX CLLCTV, Canyon proudly extends a special invitation to members of the press for an exclusive interview with our CLLCTV XCO athlete, Thomas Griot.
Thomas knows the Exceed CF SLX CLLCTV better than anyone. His experience with the bike is unparalleled and he’ll shed light on the intricate features and details that make this hardtail bike so successful.
As a key member of Canyon's CLLCTV XCO team, the Frenchman has showcased his prowess and skill in numerous XC World Cups including a 7th spot finish in Leogang in June of this year.
If you are interested in an interview with Thomas, please get in touch to arrange a time and date. You'll be able to hear about his experiences racing the UCI World Cup circuit and listen to his valuable insights about racing the Canyon Exceed CF SLX CLLCTV at the highest level.
The Exceed CF SLX CLLCTV brings World Cup DNA in a privateer race package by combining a top-level spec and an outrageously fast frame. For the very first time, the eye-catching XC CLLCTV colourway is now available online at canyon.com. The bike is finished with a RockShox SID SL Ultimate fork with 100mm travel, giving Thomas brilliant control and responsiveness on the most technical courses.
A SRAM XX Eagle AXS drivetrain and SRAM XX DUB Carbon cranks deliver exceptional efficiency, meaning all of his power is transferred to the trail, while the DT Swiss XRC1200 wheelset ensures unrivalled performance and reliability.
The Exceed is a really impressive bike. The lightness and stiffness of the bike gave me a huge advantage in Leogang. That course is really tough because there’s a lot of climbing, so racing there with the Exceed was a great experience. I was surprised by the performance and comfort on the descents too, it’s not what I expected from a hardtail, and then it’s so fast when you hit the uphills.Thomas Griot, Canyon CLLCTV XCO
Also available from today is the Exceed CF SLX MVDP, a limited edition model chosen by the legendary Mathieu van der Poel. On this bike, a Fox 32 SC Factory fork soaks up rocky descents and supports on technical climbs, while Shimano XTR brakes and drivetrain bring top-level stopping power and acceleration.
The Exceed CF SLX CLLCTV is priced at €5,499 and the Exceed CF SLX MVDP is €4,999. Both are available now exclusively at canyon.com
