Mar Posted November 10, 2014 Share Saving up for my 1st enduro bike. I'm 1.95cm, can I get away with a large bike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skott5 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Saving up for my 1st enduro bike. I'm 1.95cm, can I get away with a large bike? At 1.95 a large will be too small. I'm 1.86 and ride an XL. You want a longer Top Tupe and shorter stem. Def go XL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted November 10, 2014 Share Saving up for my 1st enduro bike. I'm 1.95cm, can I get away with a large bike?No. Mate of mine is 1.94 or so (mada3400) and has a large GT. It's FAR too small for him. GO for an XL Reign (the new one) - it's the best bet for bigger fellas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thermophage Posted November 10, 2014 Share Yeah my mate is a similar size and he actually rides some custom frame (Zinn) he ordered from overseas especially for big people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mada3400 Posted November 10, 2014 Share yeah... get an XL i know from experience that having a frame too small for you is annoying, especially for your knees. the amount of times ive stood up to sprint, jumped a gear an hit my knee on my handlebars. its really unpleasant, also finding a seatpost that can go high enough and still drop low enough is hard. i could get a longer stem, but im not going to do that cause it messes with the handling of my bike. if youre getting a new bike you have no excuses about getting the right size, do it right the first time.

Thermophage Posted November 10, 2014 Share Pike...min like 10k or so yeah? Was thiinking about upgrading my entry level Lyrik at some stage but man it is a costly single upgrade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the nerd Posted November 10, 2014 Share The way i look at it the rev or lyrik already out perform my skill level so i would be ahppy with either. The stock fork is a Tora, which, granted works well for what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
