Hey everyone,

I’m riding a Canyon Grail CF 7 in size XS and I’m trying to figure out if the fit is right or if I should have gone for an S.

My stats:

  • Height: 173 cm
  • Inseam: 81 cm

What I’m noticing:

  • I feel quite compressed in the cockpit
  • My back tends to round instead of staying flat
  • I have some pressure on my hands
  • I already pushed the saddle all the way back on the rails

From the side, it kind of looks like I’m both:

  • slightly reaching forward, but also
  • folded/closed at the hips

I haven’t flipped the stem yet or added spacers (planning to try that next).

Questions:

  1. Does this sound like the bike is too small (especially low in stack)?
  2. Would a size S likely be a better fit for my proportions?
  3. Anyone similar height riding XS vs S on the Grail?

Appreciate any input 🙏
