FYI, I have the previous generation Speedmax CF 8.0 in a SMALL. I am 175cm tall with an 81cm inside leg. I don’t have a Medium to compare against, but I think the S frame is a little small. I’d rather a slightly larger frame. There’s some serious toe-rub, which I know happens on a bike that fits properly, but I can’t help but think I’d be more comfortable and have more options for getting lower on an M frame. I would think the XS is going to be too small if Canyon are recommending the S. It’s a fast bike, but it’s designed to go in a straight line. I do sometimes worry on the descents - there’s no ability to super-tuck on a small frame at 175cm for sure.
