Levo to a Spectral

[Trumpet]

I've currently got a 19 Levo in XL which I'm thinking of changing.

480mm reach
505mm seat tube
787mm standover

I'm confused between getting a Large or XL Spectral on.
The reach on the XL is 485mm, which is cock on with my Levo. However I'm a bit concerned with the extra 15mm longer seat tube. The standover for both bikes is 787mm.

To throw another spanner in the works, the sizing tool says medium! I'm 6"1 and 15 stone so no whippet! I'm leaning towards the XL as it pretty much emulates the Levo. Anyone else here around my size that's picked between the two? I do prefer not to be cramped.

Many thanks.

I’m 6 foot and went with the medium as suggested by their tool. Neuron rather than Spectral though.

Feels comfortable to what I’m used to with a fairly upright riding position but everyone is different.

Go large. I had an XL Spectral and now have an XL levo. The spectral was a bit large and couldnt get the seat fully out of the way on big decents as the seat tube is really long at 520mm. I’m 6’2”.

I'm 6' and was advised the M but went for the L after a demo day. The L gives me plenty of room as like you I dont like being cramped, but I would not be able to go any bigger as my seat post is already at its lowest setting.

You need to get your leg over one.

Just wondering- why do you want to change the levo?

I'm 5'11" and have a large - it feels big to me, bigger than any other 'large' bike I've owned. Don't get me wrong, I love it and think its the 'right' size, I'm just saying they seem like big bikes to me compared to other brands I've ridden.

Got Levo Expert 19 and Spectral:ON, both in large. I'm 6.1 and Canyon is spot on, Levo feels ok, but a tad on the smaller side.

Both are terrific bikes, Spectral is insane bang for the bucks!

The Canyon size calculator gives me a S size even when I add 2cms for the height and the inseam (174 and 84 In total)

Top tube is ok compared with the M of the other brands, stack too, but the reach seems bit too short (425 in S vs 435 of the Levo or 450 in a Trek on M)

Don´t trust 100 % those bike size calculator. It gives an idea. In my minde smaller than M sizes are usually to short bikes.
