Hey Def I have riden an EX8 for the last 2 years and I love it. You wont be sorry bru. I am 1.78 tall and bought a virtual 17.5. At the time the bikes came with a virtual and real size which was a bit confusing and I really stressed about what size to get and read opinions from ous all over that varied. In the end I got smaller of the 2 mediums, changed the headtube height and put on a layback seat post, and its been the bomb. Done me proud for 2 years and going strong. Been meaning to cut the bars a bit narrower but havent done that yet. Good luck.
