Hello -

I'm looking at a couple of the Canyon Ultimates (CF SLX 8.0 Disc and 9.0) and I seem to be on the cusp of an XL / XXL. Please see my measurements below. I visited a Rapha store and they said on the Endurace I'd be a XL but I called up Canyon and they said XXL. What are your thoughts? Thanks in advance!

Height: 77 inches
Inseam: 38 inches
Weight: 175 pounds
Torso Length: 29 inches
Shoulder Width: 18 inches
Arm Length: 27 inches

It’s actually going to be my first road bike. Any thoughts if better to round up or down? Have two gran fondos on the calendar.

tweener. probably comes down to how flexible you are and if you want an agressive or endurance riding position. Maybe an Endurace in an XL would do it.

I have almost identical body measurements (quite a bit heavier though). Did you go with the XL or XXL? I'm looking to buy a Canyon and I'm still undecided on size.

I would go with what Canyon says.
