Hi
I'm tempted to get a canyon road bike
I'm currently riding a giant tcr size ML
On the canyon website it suggests a M for my size
H 5/10
Inside leg 32"
But the top tube on the ultimate in M is around 550 but on the TCR it's 570 ish
So the question
What size is your bike and how tall are you ?

Without knowing the seat angles etc. of the two frames then it's not much of a comparison.
FWIW I ride a 62cm at 6'2"ish but with a short (110mm) stem as I have long legs so need the height, but not all the length.

Canyon online sizing chart is shit.
It reckons I need a Medium.

I'm 6'3" and ride a 61cm S-Works or an XL Canyon Ultimate.
Both fit perfectly.

I though the sizing was spot on, the the actual sizes are small, I always ride a small (48cm) road bike, their sizing calculator said I needed a 2xs, so I threw a hissy fit, took all the measurements off a couple of my road bikes and compared them to the canyon geometry charts, 2xs was closest, ordered a 2xs Aeroad and the size is perfect...

I ride a M/L giant cx bike and 56 in road bikes.

Hired a M canyon ultimate in Majorca past 2 years and size was fine.

I'm 5'11 with 32 inside leg

Going by reach and stack numbers I'd say a M in the Canyon and a slightly longer stem than on the TCR. Or if you have a few spacers under the stem on the TCR then a L.

I'm 6'2" and ride a large (Canyon Ultimate). It's perfect.

Have you completed [i]all[/i] the measurements on the site and then entered them into the [url= https://www.canyon.com/en-gb/tools/pps/ ]PPS tool[/url]? They are quite comprehensive.

Medium sounds about right for a short ar$e.
