They don't come up long. Go for an XL. So many people ride bikes too small for them it's untrue.

My DH bike is same size as my regular bike this year. I had a small last year as it was local and good deal second hand but it was so twitchy at speed it was unreal. I'm so much more stable on a bike that's bigger. I'm 5'6" and on a medium, you sound like you need an XL!

DH bikes are a little different to regular bikes in sizing, the difference from small to medium to large is not the stand over height it's the top tube or reach. The BB to seat tube collar will be very similar but the reach will be the factor for people in DH has most of the time your going down steep sections so need to be comfortable over the back with enough control at the front. Hope that makes sense I might be talking waffle but this is what I learnt from trying different DH bikes before settling on the Large Scott Gambler? if you look at the sizing chart on the link you'll see what I mean the difference between people using a medium over a large or a small to a large is not a lot. You could comfortably get on a large if you was 5ft IF you had ape arms:) long reach. www.scott-sports.com/us/en/products/238263007/SCOTT-Gambler-710-Bike/ |
