I demo both sizes, and I’m on the middle of both on the brands site, yet I have to listen to my style of riding. i like to be agile in general and less bothered about climbing abd ling days, so on the decents I noticed that the xxl felt just too large to get into the feel. The xxl was so much more to handle on jumps too, and less maneuverable. even though the xl may be a little on the edge at speed, i benefit from being able to move the bike and that’s the trade off.

I have found that a XXL works best for me with a 50mm stem and a specific stack height. I have come to learn that stack height is just as important as my reach, I am 6'7, I would say ride both and see what you think, I did not think I needed a XXL until I rode one and it was life changing
