Bike Size
Please note, our size chart is a recommendation and will not work for every size rider. When selecting the ideal bike size, especially if you find yourself on the edge of the recommended height range for two sizes, it’s highly recommended to test ride both options or consult a bike fit expert for their opinion. Another method of finding the right fit is to compare the geometry of your current bike, or one you are comfortable on, and compare it to our geometry numbers.
Bike Handling
If you are in between sizes then you should consider the bike handling characteristics that appeal to you. Larger bikes tend to feel more stable and planted and require more body language to manoeuvre. The longer wheelbase will also help with very steep scenarios. Smaller bikes will feel more agile and are generally more manoeuvrable through tighter trails. The shorter wheelbase will feel less stable at high speed and on very steep trails.
Unique Body Dimensions
As we know, we are not all made the same. You may want to take into account your unique body dimensions, as longer legs and a shorter torso may steer you toward a smaller size, while a more extended torso and arms might lead you to opt for a larger frame.
