I’m 5’10.5 and according to the chart I’d be a Large for Orange now. (Currently ride Medium 2014 Alpine 160 and M Five 2013).
I’d be careful looking for super long reach figures without trying them out. I was too… so went to a demo at the weekend.
I demoed a Stage 6 Large and a Four Large and really didn’t get on with the sizing. Nothing wrong with the 18 inch seat post + 150mm dropper but I couldn’t get them to turn in at all. I’d expected the Four in Large to fit me perfectly. I felt I was going to crash badly on those two bikes. Sadly no Med Stage 6 to try but there was a Four M.
I demoed a Stage 5 Medium (it was awesome fun and playful) and the Segment M (also very good, a surprise), Alpine 6 M (brilliant, but felt very like my Alpine160), Five M (hated it, expected to love it) and Four M (wow, rocket ship, and fun) and I was fine with those.
At a previous demo I found I was Large in Nukeproof Mega275 which has a 460mm reach I think. This was one reason I was looking for a longer reach figure and assumed Orange Large would be for me this time. It isn’t.
