Canyon Lux and Exceed 2022: new assemblies and colours

Canyon has just presented the new versions of its XC-specific models, the Canyon Lux full-suspension and the hardtail Exceed 2022. Two mountain bikes that in recent years we have seen on the most important international podiums thanks to Mathieu van der Poel, Pauline Ferrand Prevot or Alban Lakata and that this year have been ridden by the new official team, led by Emily Batty, in the XCO World Cup.

New Canyon Lux and Exceed 2022 - what has changed?

For the 2022 season, both the Canyon Lux and the Canyon Exceed keep the same frame and general geometry specifications, but have new mountings and colours.

Canyon Lux 2022

The brand's most XCO-specific full-suspension model is the Canyon Lux. With it Pauline Ferrand Prevot has won World Championships and countless World Cups, and Mathieu van der Poel won the 2019 European Championships and has also won XCO and XCC World Cups. Its performance is beyond question, and its versatility makes it a perfect mountain bike for day rides as well as stage races.

The Canyon Lux 2022 is updated with specific components to improve performance. All models come with 100 mm travel forks and are now lighter thanks to their new set-ups. In this regard, they are fitted with rigid seatposts so as not to add a single gram. Lux CF SLX models now feature remote suspension lockout on the handlebars.

The Lux 2022 range consists of four models ranging from the Canyon Lux CF 6 for € 2,899.00, a mountian bike ideal for new riders, featuring a carbon frame, Shimano SLX 1x12 groupset, FOX SC Performance suspension and DT Swiss XR1900 wheels. Up to the €6,199 Lux CF SLX LTD, the top of the range model, which comes with a frame weighing just 1,662g, new integrated handlebars, SID SL Ultimate fork, SID Deluxe Ultimate shock from RockShox and SRAM XX1 Eagle AXS electronic groupset.

Canyon Exceed 2022

For those looking for maximum reactivity and lightness, the Canyon Exceed remains the perfect choice. The Canyon Exceed 2022 also makes its debut in 2022 with three models in the colours made popular by Emily Batty in the Canyon MTB Racing Team.

The entry-level model is the Canyon Exceed CF 6, priced at €2,299, with FOX 32 Rhythm fork, Shimano SLX 1x12 groupset and DT Swiss XR1700 wheels. At the top of the range is the Canyon Exceed CFR LTD, with an 835g frame, RockShox SID SL Ultimate fork, SRAM XX1 Eagle AXS groupset, premium Reynolds Black Label wheels and DT Swiss D232 One dropper seatpost with 60mm of travel.
