Hey everyone, I just got my first road bike—a Canyon Endurace CF 7 in XL. I’m 6’3” (191.5 cm) with a 35” (90 cm) inseam. Canyon’s sizing calculator recommended XL, though I was on the lower end, close to L.
I’m still figuring things out, so I’d love to hear your thoughts on the fit. Do I look too stretched to the front? Apologies for the terrible photo—I don’t have any proper equipment yet. I’d be extremely grateful for any comments and help. Thanks in advance!

could you post a picture where your right pedal is at its lowes position?
Size looks good to me. Go fit it. Put shoes with cleats on maybe?
I would say reach looks long. The endurace is rather compact, so I would say its slightly to big.
Too big
Your elbows should not be fully extended. Exchange for an L and see how that fit feels.
I think it’s too big, you should post the sizing chart too. Also wear the shoes you’d wear when riding.
Definitely too big
In the 3 o’clock position, your knee should be perpendicular to the pedal axis.
If you cant fix this with moving your saddle forward, ist top big.
You look happy and that’s what counts.
Might be adjusting your saddle lateral position. I donor think it is too big. My general rule of thumb: if you cannot see the front axle when you are on hood, it is the right size.
How long are your arms? From your shoulder. I ask because we have almost EXACTLY the same measurements and I am also sized at XL.
Looks good 😊 to me , your arms look extended, slide your seat up a little.
