Hi everyone! Considering buying my n+1 for forest trail riding and my research pointed me to Lux Trail 7 which is currently on sale, but available only in XL and not L.
I'm 194cm/6ft4 tall and recently had a bike fitting of my Giant gravel bike, for which it turned out that I need to sit quite upright on it with a 58deg back angle to prevent sore hands and elbows. I'm overweight and my core muscle are not as strong as they should be yet I guess, also my hip mobility is not great not terrible, trying to fix that by working out.
I also have a Strive:ON size XL which to be honest is too big for me and I've had to get new handlebars with higher rise for it. Might probably need to shorten my stem from 40mm to 31mm. In its case I was exactly on the line between L and XL.
When it comes to Lux Trail the graphs technically leans more towards XL while also having shorter reach, but I'm wondering if it would suit me in my case. Does this model force a very aggressive position with back bent low? Help please. 🙂
I've attached the bike fitting results, Lux Trail geometry and where I am on the Canyon's chart. For my height I have long torso and short legs.
