I am 178 cm tall male and have relatively short legs but much longer torso. My inseam length is 78 cm.
So I have test driven this bike several times and each time I felt much more comfort on size M rather than S. Even though Canyon store personal recommends getting S, it feels like this size is too small for my long hands and long torso, it somehow feels like I’m driving a bike for kids. I also have a feeling that I don’t have enough control and the handlebar gets too “nervous” in my hands because I feel really awkward on that size.
When driving M, everything feels right, I have 100% control and comfort that I desire.
So what would you say?

It appears you are looking for bike fitting help. Please make sure you post as screenshot of the Canyon size chart for your bike, with your point in it. See [this example](https://imgur.com/a/ALUfXyy)

If you have ridden it and feel more comfortable on a size M, go with the size for sure. Those size calculators are not more than an approximation and definitely don‘t apply to all body types. Enjoy your bike!
