It appears you are looking for bike fitting help. Please make sure you post as screenshot of the Canyon size chart for your bike, with your point in it. See [this example](https://imgur.com/a/ALUfXyy)

Im happy to be corrected by others who are more knowledgeable, but I think its easier to make a smaller bike fit when youre between sizes. You can fit longer stems, longer reach bars etc whereas youre kinda stuck with a long bike if you go for the next size up.
Sizing down provides more room for adjustments than sizing up does. I got an ultimate last year and was in between size S and M, and went with the M. Saddle height and position was quite easy to dial in, but the cockpit was a whole different story, since the Canyon size chart does not take arms length into account. My short arms have a hard time to reach my shifters. I maxed out the spacers already, but now have to replace the cockpit entirely to reduce the stem length too. If I would have chosen a size S, the room for adjustability by reducing the spacers to increase the reach would have been so much easier and cost effective.
