Everyone in their right mind recommends a Pitch fella.

A bike of legendary proportions :-)

Depends on what you ride, I had a camber, great bike but not an all mountain which was what I was doing a lot of.

Stumpies are brilliant bikes :-)

My favourite bike, at least that I've owned was my Pitch, it just had a certain something about it. I have an S-Works Enduro now, but it just doesn't feel as good as the Pitch did. Great bike don't get me wrong but I really-really loved my Pitch, gutted I sold it to be honest.

Ride red and black at trail centres and proper hill mountain bikeing in my area and the Lake District the pitch certainly seems to fit the bill need a bike that climbs well and is awesome on way down

I'm 6"5 and after a pitch, is a large frame going to be large enough?

I had a xc fsr pro previously, loved the bike very much but didn't have fun/confidence when descending to be honest, is the pitch an improvement on this?

At 6"5' I think you will find a large pitch a bit cramped. I had a large (which was only just a little too long for me) and I'm 5"10'. I now ride a medium but the large was not a big bike.

The Pitch is without doubt one of the most compitent decenders of all the bikes I've ever had the pleasure to ride.

Although..... I'm 6'2" and the large Pitch was absolutely perfect if not a tiny bit small. I now have an Large S-Works Enduro that feels literally twice the size, it's right for me but defo feels a lot bigger than the Pitch did.

I'd see if you can sit on one fella, at 6'5" I'd honestly say go for an XL, but it's a personal thing, without sitting on one you'll never know.

In fact an example that may help is that my younger brother is 6'3" and he found my Pitch well too small, he's got the Enduro Evo in Large and it's spot on for him. Again you might feel a bit different, but food for thought.

Hope that makes sense.

Gotta be an XL frame mate,I'm 6'4 and although a brilliant bike I feel that an xl would have been better for me. Enjoy big man.
