Chain stretch isn't always equally distributed throughout the chain. Hard acceleration will stretch the part that's under tension but not the slack side.

Templar base model should be a great fit. My 15yo son does ok on my X but I'm planning on getting him a base model soon. Lower seat height and slightly shorter wheelbase than the X
