Hi everyboby! Let me start introducing me, i’m new in singletrack forum, so, i’m an 35 year old spanish rider that gave up recently the DH scene and i’m looking for an enduro ride. My first option is an Orange Alpine 160, but i have a serious doubt about the size, 16″, or 18″. I’m just in between, i’m 5’10” and i always was perfectly suitted at 17″.
After questioned to my local dealer, he is telñling me, yes, you are in between but closest to 18″, better for “climbing”? but i already have an allmountain hardtail for longer rides. I’m looking for short rides, with not to much for climb and lot of descent. And go for Maxis and Megas… Could be better then a 16″? anyone there with Alpine 160 that can help me please?
Thanx in advance
