Thinking about buying a Canyon Ultimate. I am 5’10†and I always used a size M bike (54cm). Usually I am between 54 and 56, but per Canyon I am a size S.
Any Canyon owner can share their experience about that.

I'm 1.78m (5'10") with about 835-840mm inseam. I got a size M Ultimate CF SL in 2014 and have been very happy with the size ever since. It was definitely the right choice. I remember when I was searching, there were several bikes I considered with very similar stack and reach. Some were 54, some 56. Use stack and reach or a geometry go
