Anyone out there got orbea occam(AM H30) looking for sizing help,had a spin on a med,I am 5 ft 8,seemed bit cramped to me,tho was quick spin(shop was closing),they had no large in at the time,will be back check and move seat back, any help info appreciated
I'm 5' 9" on a large. Tried both and preferred it over the medium. They size up on the small side.
At 5' 8" you're also in the overlap between medium and large according to their size chart.
SUGGESTED RIDER HEIGHT
Medium 160- 175 cm 5'3"-5'9"
Large 170-185 cm 5’7”-6’1"
If it felt cramped I'd give the large a try.
5'7" and on a medium. Feels spot on for me but I can imagine how you felt as they're relatively short. Definitely try a large but watch for set tube length if you intend using a dropper. My Transfer is as far into the frame as it will go.
ok thanks for help.will try to get a large to try.dropper not a problem as it comes with one.ps any idea of weight?no info online really.will be back to check medium tomorrow, all being well. and take it both happy with your bikes
Im 5'7" and i recently got one in a medium and it fits great.i am a short arse tho.superb bike as well.
Blitz how did you find the standover height between the two? Shop thinks the large would be to high,definitely feels like sitting on edge of saddle to me,just the handover,,might have to ask them to send large over to bee sure,,,
Standover wasn't a massive factor for me so didn't pay too much attention to be honest. I mostly focused on reach. The large is fine though. I've got a 125mm reverb in there with a bit to spare. A 150mm might be touch and go but not tried. Here's a pic of mine with the reverb in my normal high position.

Out of interest I've just measured and I've got 45mm of seatpost below the collar so could get away with a 150mm dropper.
The standover was more the shops opinion ,the reach is what I want to double check,I am coming from using whyte 905(longer reach) and cube stereo
I got the AM M30 to replace my medium Stumpjumper. I went with medium and am 5' 10". It handles better then the SJ, I am sure a medium will be good for you.
Going to swap the bars over first,they don't seem right,not going to get chance now for few days
