Probably, although everyone is different. I was looking at the unit x recently and I’m 5’7″ – based on my other bikes geo I would go with a small frame size.
Looks right to me. While pedaling your leg is extended but not locked when your pedal is at 6 o’clock. You might want to swap bars for something a tad narrower with a little sweep.
It looks good to me. If your lower back hurts you can try getting bars that are swept back. I prefer bikes that are on the big side for my body.
According to your seat Position, it should be the right frame size, maybe slightly too large. Your seat needs to be a little bit higher, because your legs are not stretched enough. Perfect seating position is, when your knees are slightly bent when pedaling.
The only issue i see is the length of the frame. Your back looks like its stretching too much for the handlebar. This can be fixed with a shorter stem, a smaller handlebar (handlebars can be cut for the riders needs) or by sliding the saddle a bit to the front.
With your size you are pretty much between the two frame sizes. In doubt you should test the smaller on how it feels different/better. Also there is this saying: get a bigger frame if you want a more stable riding, get the smaller one if you like the bike to be more playful on the trail.
If you feels safe on the bike and dont get any unwanted pain, it should be good tho.
