Mountain Bike Sizing Guide

Mountain Bikes tend to use the T-Shirt sizing of S, M, L etc. or will have the seat tube measurement in INCHES. Why mountain bikes are inches and road bikes are CM who knows, but the part of the frame being measured is the same.

As a rule of thumb if you can identify your size as Medium on one brand, you should use that as a starting point on another brand too.

If you already own a medium mountain bike for example and are comfortable with the sizing, start there.
 

What is your height? Your suggested bicycle size
Feet/Inches Centimetres Suggested Size
4'10" - 5'2" 148cm - 158cm X-Small (14-15")
5'2" - 5'6" 158cm - 168cm Small (15.5-17")
5'6" - 5'10" 168cm - 178cm Medium (17.5-18")
5'10" - 6'1" 178cm - 185cm Large (18.5-20")
6'1" - 6'4" 185cm - 193cm X-Large (20.5-22")
6'4" - 6'6" 193cm - 198cm XX-Large (22.5"+)

    Question asked by HAM on 27/11/2021 23:48:34
    Hello there. Ther longest seatpost that you`ll get away with will be a 400mm seatpost however, you will be able to fit whatever size post you want. The issue you`ll have with fitting a shorter post will be that you won`t be able to extend the post as high as you`d like so ideally, stick to the same size post that comes with the bike as the best trade off. Thanks.
