Hey guys, just ordered my sender and stressing on the size! I'm 180cm so smack between the medium and large.. I've gone for medium because I like the thought of being able to throw it around but I've never sat on one! Anyone got any advice on best option if you're smack in the middle! I could hopefully swap my order if needed before it's despatched!
It's all about personal preferences. I'm changing my frame only because of the reach (currently on 425mm reach and feels incredible tight some times). I'm 184 cm, and I have ordered an XL. If I were you, I would have ordered the L and even think about the XL. But once again it is all about personal preferences. I just got fed up of riding with the most compact position on the bike.

Interesting read on what size you should be ordering

What would everyone recommend.. I have the choice between the standard air shock or a coil DHX2 which I recent bought for my old bike? What would people say the pros and cons of both would be?

Dhx2. I put one on mine and it makes it feel like a different bike

For me it was a month between putting in the order and getting delivery.

Got an email yesterday. 2weeks from order. At 180cm am stuck between medium and large. I've always went for medium frames. My last one was a 2013 giant glory. Unsure what to go for with the canyon.

I am currently considering to buy the Sender in size XL. I have read that some people are having problems with play in the MX link and wear at the bushings and axles. What are your expiriences thus far?
The thing is I really like the bike regarding the geometry and suspension curves, but I am not too sure about the wear particularly in the MX link as the construction seems to be a bit flimsy.
I'd love to get your input and maybe some detailled pictures.

After 2 years of intense abuse in bikeparks i have a little play in the mx bushinngs, no worries, it doesn't afect the bine and they will be changed by canyon in autum when i`ll send the bike for a complete makeover.
