Remember, the sizes given in our guides are suggestions and should be used for general advice only. Our sizing charts aim to be as specific as possible so you can look up the particular type, make and model of bike you’re looking for. It all comes down to personal preference and how the bike feels to you. For example, a trail devotee looking for an aggressive ride may prefer a smaller, more manoeuvrable bike size. The way you ride and the type of bike you are into will also impact the frame size you should choose. Our bike sizing charts take stand over height into consideration but if you have a particularly long or short inside leg measurement in relation to your height you will need to bear this in mind when selecting your frame size. This will ensure comfort when you’re stopped and standing astride the bike. For mountain bikes we recommend a distance of 2-4 inches and for road or hybrid bikes 1-2 inches of clearance is required. Stand over height is the clearance between the top tube and the bottom of your crotch. You should also consider your inside leg measurement when choosing your bike to ensure adequate stand over height.
