Im 5”9 215lbs and I used to ride a medium size 27.5” hardtail and bought myself a large 29” full suspension not used to it and was just wondering if it looks okay from a size perspective

This bike is too large for you. I am 5’7 and ride an S size bike. You should’ve gotten the M size or even an S bike if you wanted more control over it
Doesn’t look outrageously large to me from a reach perspective, but if that’s the right saddle position for you, the seat tube is way too long, so you have no way to lower the seat/run a dropper post for steep downhill sections (ignore if you just dropped the saddle for these shots).
Ability to drop the saddle aside, it is not about the S/M/L designation (these differ a lot by manufacturer and model), but about reach and stack. Pics or video of you in an active riding position (both feet on pedals, seat at the right height for peddling around) would help determine this.
I also want some help im 6″1 and 187 lbs im looking for a L but I mostly see M which are also a little more affordable for some reason. Is it too crazy to buy a M for initiating on Enduro?
Sorry OP I saw ur post and thought of asking for help aswell
You bought it. Ride it and work it out.
