Canyon Nerve - what size?

[fargo747]

Hoping to order a Canyon Nerve XC 7.0 over the weekend (when the funds have been released, so to speak). Trouble is, I'm not sure of which size to go for. Any wisdom or Canyon owners that can help?

Both my previous hardtails have been 16" and have always felt fine. However my DH bike, which is a small, feels it. The Canyon online size calculator doesn't want to help me out. I'm tempted to man up (well, just a bit) and go for a medium. If you were also lucky enough to be a lofty 5'8" and 32" leggy bit, what would you go for?

Thanks in advance!

medium. i'm 5"11 and a 62cm top tube would feel waaaay too stretched out.

I am the same height and have the same bike in Small (16.5" I believe). Feels just right but saddle is right up. Medium would probably have been ok too, but wanted something a little more chuckable and responsive.

Can't comment on your size, as I'm 5,11 - and have got a XC8 in M.

But can comment on service. I orginally placed an order for a Large had it delivered, kept for about a week, then decided it was a little too large, so they collected got shipped back to Germany and had a medium delivered. - It was no issue at all, just obviousy meant I had to wait a little longer for the 'right' one to be delivered.

So order the smallest you think/or what the site calculator suggests (I originally over ruled that and thought I knew best - I didn't! the calculator was correct for me - I thought Large, it said Medium) - and if it's wrong, no worries, they really will collect and send another...

I'm 6" with a 32' inside leg, went for a Medium. Seems to be about perfect, awesome bike.
