Ok so I can comment as well, as we just bought one MEDIUM Levo SL Comp Carbon today, which will be ridden by my wife, but I rode it one bigger trail just to try it.
I am 177cm (5' 9.5"?) 82cm (32") Inseam. My wife is 164cm (5' 5") and 79cm (31"). I am short-legged, she's long legged.
After two hours, the 435mm reach bike (compared to my regular 465mm) feels just fine. I slid the saddle forward as the 75 degree seat tube is truly outdated, there is no way around it, you have to account for it. It's not matter of taste, it's outdated as hell. But after sliding the seat two cm forward, it feels just right again.
For me the bicycle felt small, like bmx, but because of it's weight (stock 18.6KG with heavy pedals and tubes, after tuning, 17KG), it's planted and you can get away with this size if you like REALLY NIMBLE bike. And the focus is on the "REALLY".
This might be different if you're coming from traditional geometry, but if you've spent any time on modern 'Long, low & slack" bike, whether Trail, Enduro or Downduro® you will not like the smaller size. If this is your first modern trail bike, you will be ok as it's similar to geometry of bikes from past 10 years or so.
Today I am putting on 170mm fork, 33mm Stem length to make it more enduro-ish, and that will reduce the reach by 1.5 cm and the cocpit size by another 1.5cm. After that, the bike will feel modern and fresh, but almost one size smaller.
It will be exactly where my wife wants it. Stable wheelbase, compact cockpit. Opposite of stock. This bike is great starting point, but it's not longer great alone as is. The geometry really shows it's time to slacken the headtube, steepen the seattube and longer the reach, just like current Stumpjumper EVO with S-sizing.
Otherwise...Comp Carbon in black is stunningly beautiful bike :- ). And it's very silent on flat road and screamingly loud on hills, but I knew that, and I am fine with it.
So... Kenevo SL for me now ! Just three more weeks.
