Mountain bike for boyfriend

My boyfriend is after a new mountain bike and for some reason he really likes the Merida Matts TFS 500-D:

Not sure how good this bike is, couldn't find many reviews online.
However, I found this:

I showed it to him and now he's not sure if he wants the Merida.
Any advice? Which one of the two is a better bike?

The Canyon, no question. Much much better fork (and much better components overall).I don't do smileys.

It gives it in cm? Divide by 2.54.
Use only as a guide, as all manufacturers tend to differ.0 -

They have a 'Calculate Framesize' dialogue for each bike - which uses lots of different measurements including inseam and reach... I'd use that if I were. The raw framesize tells you very little unless you get some feedback from other Canyon riders.Vitus Sentier VR+ (2018) GT Grade AL 105 (2016)
