I’m looking a a Slash 8 as a bit of a play around bike when I’m not being a lazy sod on the ebike. I’m 5’8 so would either be on a M or M/L, anybody out there around my height, which size did you opt for? Thnx.

I'm 5 9 and on a ML not mega long but plenty stable for me on the downs. Great bike for the money 👌

Not a Slash but remedy, fuel and fuel.

At 6'0 the L is nice, the M/L a touch small but playful and the M a bit too small.

Im 5'8" but with short legs , I had a medium which was absolutely perfect. I decided to change the dropper to 150mm but because of the frame kink had to go back to 125mm for really steep stuff.

175cm here and on an M/L
Feels spot on, 180mm dropper with good standover

About 178cm (ish) here - I was dithering between the L and M/L before I bought the bike. However, I've always tended to size down when I'm between MTB sizes, so I went for the M/L.

It still feels like a big bike, but the sizing is spot on for me.

I'm 5ft 8in and I've ridden the ML and L to check out the sizing. I didn't go ahead, but either would have been viable for me.

Definitely wouldn't get the M, so consider this a vote for the ML for you.

Thanks all. Turns out I’ve missed the bike to work voucher window so have to wait till next year. Gives me time to get a ride on each size. Cheers for the insight.
