For some reason it won’t let me add text to the photo.
Anyway, does anyone with similar build as me have a small? 5′ 10″ on a small just sounds like id be getting the wrong size. I did the book method for measure inseam and did the average of my 5 measurements. I guess im mostly torso and why my other bike doesn’t feel that big.

Check the minimal saddle height, 79cm inseam is really on the shorter side, and if you simply cannot sit properly on the bike, than surely size M is a no go for you. With 81cm, my saddle heigh is about 710mm at best, and I checked that Canyon says size M has a minimal saddle height of 713mm. So, hard for me to imagine how would you get a proper saddle height with size M… not to mention size M’s crankarm is 172.5mm. Even at size S, you’d find you don’t need to pull the seatpost all the way up.
Plus, your body height is also just a bit higher than the minimal of M. And as a rule of thumb in bike fitting, if you barely fits one size, then you should downsize.

So, I’d say size S fits you much better.
