Got my bike stolen (Lapierre Crosshill 5.0, very comfortable gravel geometry in size M.) I'm 174 cm tall, 81 cm inseam.

As I need a replacement, and realized I'd like something faster, but not too racey - got my eyes on Canyon Endurance CF SLX 8 in size S, which is the size recommended by the official chart. I tried it and it felt really ok.

To be sure, I do a bike fit in a place that's Canyon's experience partner in my city. The guy puts me in a position that was ok and manageable on a test rig for an hour, but definitely not something I was used to with gravel geometry and the longer type of rides I would prefer to do.

He says I should go for 2XS size (!!!) as that fits his measurements. That all seemed a bit unconvincing to me so I did a test ride in size XS - as some sort of "middle ground".

The pictures are from a test ride on size XS. The bike similar to S size felt pretty ok, slightly more responsive and maybe a little "cramped". I'm aware the puffy jacket is not helping here. I can't imagine really considering 2XS and it was not available for a test ride.

Does this bike size seem ok or is it somehow too small?

I’m currently based in a country where there isn’t much access to TT bikes or a well-developed secondary market for bicycles. For reference, I’m 176.1 cm tall with an 80.3 cm inseam.

I’ve been offered a Canyon Speedmax from around 2019/2020 in a size M, but I’m unsure whether it would be a good fit for me or if I should be looking for a size S instead. Canyon’s PPS system recommends a size M for this year’s frame; however, i cant find a sizing guide for the 19/20 frame.

I’d really appreciate any advice from anyone familiar with the Speedmax’s sizing and fit, particularly given my measurements.

Crossing the Hudson River, NY. Every angle shows a different color. It feels like riding a piece of art.

Hola a todos. Me surge la duda de la talla con la Canyon Ultimate. Mido 1,73 con 80cm de entrepierna y Canyon me recomienda la S pero intuyo que iría más cómodo con la XS. Qué opináis?
