Exceed
Less puzzling. More hustling. The new Exceed covers a bigger range of riding than ever before.
The new Exceed
Nothing beats the get-up-and-go of our lightweight carbon hardtail. Set-and-forget simplicity, rinse-and-repeat reliability, ready to take on the next adventure or progress through your local racing leagues.
Stable and able
Looking over at its downcountry stablemate, the Lux Trail, the new Exceed adopts the same slacker 67° head angle. Combined with a longer wheelbase, you get an extra dose of stability and composure when you pick up the pace.
Flex and flow
Just because hardtails do away with rear suspension doesn’t mean you can’t refine the ride quality. With the new Exceed, we tuned rear triangle lateral stiffness so the rear wheel can track better through rough sections of trail, meaning more composure through technical terrain.
Iconic comfort
The Exceed CF 9 features our benchmark carbon leaf spring seatpost. Its innovative design allows 20 mm of rearward flex, taking the edge off harsh knocks and dramatically reducing vibrations for a seriously comfortable and energy-saving ride. The new 31.6 mm seatpost diameter also offers more choice for dropper posts, with simple internal routing.
Clearance for 2.4”
Wider does not mean slower, but more volume to push harder. 2.4" wide rubber fits fine on the new Exceed.
Frame protection
For a quieter ride and less stress from stone strikes, we’ve beefed up frame protection under the down tube and on both chainstays to fend off heel rub.
Cleanest lines
The sleek CP0036 carbon cockpit on the Exceed CF 9 not only looks the part, but is proven at XC World Championship level.
Threaded BB
Tried, tested and true, the new Exceed features BSA threaded bottom brackets. Smooth, silent, and simple to replace when the time comes.
Pack it up
Despite a lower standover height for added trail capability, the new Exceed maintains the front triangle bag real estate it’s famous for thanks to the modified down tube configuration.
Mount it up
Bigger bottles, better fitting frame bags, the Exceed is now even more of a bikepackers delight. Plus, a new third bottle mount below the down tube boosts hydration or tool storage potential.
Load it up
Never forget essential spares thanks to the Exceed's LOAD Internal Storage. With space for our Tool Pouch, CO2 cartridges, inflator, levers, tube*, and whatever else you like, stowed away and sealed from the elements for when you need it.

It’s faster than my gravel bike over the rough and lighter than having full suspension, the Exceed is the sweet spot.Liam Yates - 2025 Atlas Mountain Race Pairs Winner
