I recently bought a Canyon Grizl CF8 Di2 (Size M). Awesome bike!
I am a bit unsure about the size though. My height is 183cm with a 84cm inseam length. According to the Canyon sizing table (see below) I am at the upper end of the size M. I used the LeMond method to set the saddle height. While cycling the distance between my knees and the steer is roughly 8cm. See picture of me and the bike attached although it's not the best one for judging the size.
I did a 60km bike ride on it twice through the mountains and I think overall it felt comfortable, but maybe slightly on the smaller side. But I don't know how a size L would have felt.
Any thought on whether this is the right size for me or whether I should exchange it for a size L?

Did you try correcting your handlebar to 0 degrees? It seems to be pointing upwards.
I borrowed a gravel bike recently that was preset to +10 degrees and I felt really crammed on the bike. Zeroing made me much more comfortable.
I’m 183cm and 88cm inseam on medium. It fits me well I’d say but I had a professional bike fit and swapped out my stem
I feel like going through the process of sending it back, waiting for the refund and ordering a new one is enough of a pain in the ass that I would just buy a longer stem. You can just get a longer version of the exact one the bike comes with.
