I'm buying my first mountain bike and I'm almost certain I want to go with the Canyon Strive CRF. I'm a beginner, but have been researching bikes for a few weeks and I want something I can grow into as I learn more. This seemed to line up best with my goals. My other option was the Specialized Enduro, but I have always wanted a canyon and like this better. Any opinions on the strive?
I am also looking for advice on sizing. With most other bike companies they recommend I ride a medium, but with canyon they recommend a small. Is this accurate? I've heard they run a bit large but don't want to end up with something too small. Thanks for your help!
