  • Anyone ride an XL Camber Evo 2015 onwards?

    Think they’ve done away with the Evo bike for 2016 onwards to be accurate anyway but I’m just wondering about sizing. I’m a bawhair under 6’2″ and the XL frame size has a similar top tube length to my other bike which I’m comfortable on. All the size guides tell me I’m borderline between a large and XL. I’m thinking I should be going for the XL. Does anyone have a different opinion? I have average dimensions for my height. Thanks

    I am just over 6 foot and on a large camber evo but would say I am on the upper limit, feels fine to me with a 60mm stem but if I was any taller I would to xl. Even the XL is not particularly long, great bikes ! A 5 8 bike journalist would want a XXL though

    I’m 5’10 and comfy on a large 2015 camber evo (I’m long bodied, like a little stretch and riding is wheels on the ground/no hucking focussed)

    I would guess if you’re 4″ taller than me that the large will feel very “compact”.

    I’m 5’10” on a large 2016 Camber Comp carbon. You definitely need the XL.

    I’m just over 6′ on a large 2015 evo. I wouldn’t want to be any bigger.

    I’m 6’2″ and run a large Camber evo (2014).

    An XL would fit better, but as it’s a slack seat-tube it works ok with a 170mm Reverb on the more steeper stuff we have around here.

    If I lived somewhere flatter and/or more XC I’d want an XL.

    In fact, if I’d bought it new I’d have got an XL. 🙂

    On a camber?

    Golfie, Thornielee and Inners off-piste/enduro stuff is fine – I’ve put another airspring in the Pike to take it out to 140mm.

    Big wheels roll 🙂

    I ride one but with the 120mm it came with – I cant imagine it with 170mm on it that’s all. Buy an enduro for that and a stumpy if you want 14mm??

    Rockhshox Reverb – ie a dropper post.

    And 120mm fork isn’t enough for the camber, 140mm is perfect.
