Deal Details
Amazon [amazon.com] has the Canyon Exceed CF 5 Hardtail MTB in Silver for sizes XS $1175 & Small $1283.

Features:
Carbon Fiber frame
SRAM SX Eagle Rear Derailleur/Shift Lever .
Rear Cassette SRAM PG-1230 Eagle 11-50 12s
RockShox Recon RL Remote Fork with 100 mm travel
Tubeless Ready
DT Swiss 370 Hub

Notes: The SX shifter, chain, and derailleur are entry-level, but moving up to GX is only about $200 total parts before labor. Also, Canyon sizing tends to run large. If you're 5'5", you'd normally ride a Small in other brands, but with Canyon you'll barely fit an XS. See the size chart.

Edit: Bought and received, was really easy to put together and unboxing includes all tools. Just need to attach the wheels, handlebars, attach the remote switch for front forks, add seat post, and pedals. Unlike my Specialized Chisel FS with a SX drivetrain, this Canyon Exceed had a perfectly tuned SX drivetrain out of the box. Most of the work will be removing the protective bubble wrap and breaking down the box. See Canyon's unboxing vid [youtube.com].

Canyon Site [canyon.com] just for reference to check details and components.

There's also looks to be a coupon for the XS and S sizes - XS is $999 and S is $1,027 which makes it even better deal.

SX/GX maybe not the best from SRAM, but probably okay until they wear out. The best upgrade would be getting nicer wheels and changing to a carbon seatpost.

I also got the coupon but wasn't sure if it was a YMMV so I didn't include it in the post.

To make the switch to GX the freehub needs to be changed from HG to XD. SX and NX both use HG.

True for cassettes which I don't recommend swapping out until it wears out.

You can upgrade:
  • shifter
  • derailleur
  • chain
to GX without changing the freehub if you keep using the same NX/SX cassette. Swapping out SX for a GX shifter/derailleur should get a noticably crisper improvement. I did so on my entry-level Specialized Chisel FS.

I forgot there was an 11 speed GX derailleur, good catch!

Didn't have the coupon last week when the S size was $1,2xx (looked on 4 of our accts), checked today and have the coupon but bike went up to $1,7xx.

Just checked right now. Still no coupon. I've been watching this every day since. So weird and YMMV, why AMAZON?
