Hi everyone,
I'm very tempted by the grizl cr slx8 ekar. I'm 186cm with 88cm inseam, pretty short torso and long arms. The online tool tell me to get the L size.
However, I ride a Factor Ostro VAM size 56, which fit me very well. When I look to geometry, the grizl M is closer to my Factor. What should I do?
TIA

Show us the canyon size calculator with your values. If between sizes and want a canyon road or gravel bike, size down.
As fast as I can give you some advice other than do a test ride is to take L. The grizl has a stem which is quite short to make up for the longer frame – but you have enough room for a shorter stem on L. The chart puts you clearly in L, and the chart is right in most cases.
M is not impossible, but the saddle will be very high, maybe on the limit, if you have long legs. You will be more upright than intended as the bike will be a bit shorter.
I’m just a little shorter than you and the medium fit me good but kinda felt like I was at its limit. I’d go with the large.
