I'm 5ft 8in on a large Stage 4, so I'd say definitely get an XL.

It's an awesome bike but I have fitted a -2deg headset and a 130mm fork to make it a bit more fun.

I'm 6'2" and ride a XL mk2 Segment which is a great fit. Used to have a large P7 that felt a touch small.

I'm 5'10" on a Medium Segment Mk2. Could probably ride a L, but happy with mine

I had a medium Segment (5’8) and was a good fit, I’d say fit as expected for a 17” frame and would have been fine fo day 5’7 to 5’11.

Great bike and regret selling it and keeping a P7. Should have done the other way round as ended up selling the P7 not long after.

In fact probably only one of two bikes I wish I’d not got rid of.

6'2" on an xl stage 4.
I've wavered between long L and short XL bikes before, this feels spot on. I'd need the bars a little higher or shorter reach if I was doing really steep/gnar stuff, coz I struggle to unweight the front when it gets silly (as I can on my lairier bike) but for everything slightly more inside my comfort zone it's great and it just comfortably eats up the miles. I've had it about 10 months, didnt touch it over winter and I've still managed to clock up twice as many miles on it than I do on my other MTBs in a year.
