I recently bought a Modular S1 in large. I’m 5ft 11 and three quarters…
CRC sent me a medium by accident. I run my saddle at 74cm rail to centre of BB for xc and the medium was just too small and cramped for me to ride comfortably – though as a play bike it would have been fine (wrong geometry though) so it went back. Really nice bike though, shame they haven’t any left
The frame is quite compact for a XC bike
I would say you could go for either but as the S2 is rigid and seems more set up for XC than hooning you might want to be a bit stretched out? If so the Medium will suit you best
