About to pull the trigger on one of these.

I'm 6ft 2 and looking at the XL.

Google tells me that people are sizing down due to the short (435mm) chain stays.

I want the 515mm reach figure of the XL and the ETT figure is only 10mm longer than the SJ EVO Pro I've just sold.

I read a review on another well known MTB website and the only mention of the shorter chain stays was to say sometimes the back end lost traction a little earlier than expected....

A few other forums have mentioned front wheel wash out if you hang off the back, I ride pretty aggressively so am generally over the front of the bike anyway.

Anyone riding a 2021 TR or even the AM and can give some advice?

I'm 180cm (not sure in imperial) and have gone for a medium to get a more playful bike. Could have gone with large or medium.
I read about staying over the front so figured as long as it isn't cramped i would go with the smaller of the options.
Just hope to see mine this side of the summer.
