DS2 vs Crosstrail Disc

Anyone compare these 2 bikes while shopping? Any comments on one vs the other? Similarly priced for 2019.

They already let me swap it once. Did you read that part?

I bought the medium initially then they let me swap it for the large. Hardly a money issue when they have both sizes in stock on the floor.

Thanks for the reply. What are you basing the large being too big on? I am bent over at the hips on the large, the medium too, but I felt a little high on top of them on the medium.

So I wound up buying a crosstrail because the roll didn’t make it in time for a trip, but I think I might still get the roll for even more casual rides with the wife on her cruiser.
