Amflow frame size for 191cm rider with Canyon Strive:on L

Hi, wich size for the amflow please? I am 191 cm tall, 89 cm inner leg lenght. My current bike is a canyon striven in Size L. The canyon fits well, could be minimal bigger. But it's nice and playfull.

@maro200891 Straight answer first: from what you've told us - the L Strive fits well and you'd only want it minimally bigger, and you like it playful - XL is the pick, not XXL. A rider who says "could be a touch bigger" goes up half a step, not a full frame size on a brand that already sizes long.

One honest caveat: the PX isn't in our verified database yet, so I can't quote its exact XL/XXL geometry - the Amflow I can stand behind is the PR Carbon 2026, and its sizing ladder is a useful yardstick:


If your Strive is the 2026, its L runs a 500mm reach - so an Amflow XL at the same number is already your "fits well" position, and Amflow's XXL at 527mm isn't "minimal bigger", it's a different postcode. If yours is an earlier Strive:ON (shorter reach in L), the XL Amflow already IS your step up. Either way the XXL takes you well past what you described - longer bikes are calmer at speed but noticeably harder to pop and flick, which is exactly the character you said you want to keep.

At 89cm inseam you'll clear the XL's seat tube with room to spare for a long dropper, so standover/insertion won't force the decision either.

So: check the reach figure on the PX geometry chart for XL - if it lands around 495 - 510mm, order it and don't look back. If you can post the PX chart here (or tell me which year your Strive is), I'll happily sanity-check the exact numbers rather than guessing at them.

Please take the Amflow Px (released 2026) for the comparison with the canyon strive on

@maro200891 Done - I've got the actual PX chart now, and the good news is it doesn't change the verdict, it confirms it. PX in XL. Still not XXL.

The PX numbers (stock mullet setup, 64.2° head angle, 78° seat angle): PX reach runs M 455 / L 478 / XL 503 / XXL 528, with stack 622/632/646/659 - so the XL is your current Strive L fit almost to the millimetre: +3mm reach, -2mm stack. That's the bike you already said fits well. The XXL is +28mm of reach and a much longer front end - that's not "minimal bigger", that's a different bike, and it's the playfulness you'd be trading away.

Two things that seal it for the XL: • The "minimal bigger" you wanted is built in as an adjustment, not a frame size. The PX ships with adjustable headset cups (5 positions) and a chainstay flip-chip, giving up to 40 geometry configurations - so you can lengthen the wheelbase or slacken it slightly if you want a touch more stability, without buying a barge.

• Dropper's sorted at your inseam - XL gets a 210mm dropper, adjustable down in 5mm increments, which your 89cm legs will use happily. One honest caveat:

Cookson Cycles note the PX can feel slightly smaller than some riders expect near the top of a size range, and advise choosing larger if you want stability, smaller if you want a playful, compact feel. At 191cm you're toward the top of the XL band - but since you explicitly like the playful character and your reference bike at 500mm reach already fits, that note points you to XL too, not away from it.

Order the XL, start in the stock geo setting, and if you want it a whisker calmer, flip the chainstay long. Enjoy the 150Nm - it's a silly amount of shove.
