I pulled the trigger and ordered this bike today – I’ve been admiring it for a long time..

Then I got a nagging thought and looked into component geometry and to my great surprise, the L size is listed with 172,5mm crank length.

​

I have another Canyon (Grizl) where the L came with 175mm crank and all of my bikes use this crank length. I’m now worried this will be a bad fit and I’ll need to spend several hundred more to get the right size.

​

Is this correct? Looking at ALL the bikes below they have 175mm crank for L. Including the SLX 9 of the same bike. What gives?!
