Having ridden a large Tracer 2 and Spider also, being at 6ft, they do come up short.

Iirc Intenses' new range have got longer or so I read somewhere.

I would have thought a large Primer would be suitable depending on your body dimensions, inside leg, reach from shoulder to head tube etc.

I'm pretty sure that Pivots come up short too.

I would highly reccommend looking at the Primer geo chart and chatting to a local'ish dealer who stocks Intense.

Oh and don't forget to post pics of your new Primer Wink

Can you tell that I want one too but cannot have! Lol

I'm 6'1" and rocking a large primer with 140 fork, but looking to put a 150mm 36. Love the bike. Coming from a nomad3, tracerC, remedy29er the primer is a much better climber, better jumper, and holds its own on the dh. It lags behind on super steep trails but still pretty good. The bike needs 140 fork, 170seatpost, and stronger brakes than its mind blowing!
