Hey folks, i'm 6 foot tall. Want to get a dirt jump bike, but not sure the geometry specs I should be going for. Raced XC for 3 years, and been enduro/trail rider for the past 2, but i'm an absolute beginner to the dirt and park scene. Any advice would be great!

Aim for approx 22.5-24" tt and you should be fine. Most aluminum bikes have pretty similar geo angle/bb height

Check the buy sell,

If you had a budget in mind we can help. Dt Swiss downhill rims, ns makes some nice light rims. The spank rims were pretty good.

Almost anything other than a xc rim, you can tell by the weight and width. Wider is better.

If you find something you like ask us about it, we can give better feedback

I'm looking for something in the 40-60ish range, I'll be lacing it to my current hub for now.

I´m thinking about buying a new frame. Does anyone have a suggestion for me?
Thinking about a P3, Trek Ticket DJ, Chromag Monk (But it´s damn long), Commencal Absolut (Damn long too), 2018 Canyon Stitched L (But the service is so bad). Maybe I forgot some nice options. Reach should be 415-420ish

Is the large Commencal with a reach of 426 actually too long? haha its 6-11mm too long

had a Ticket DJ and liked the frame, but I had shitty parts.

6-11mm reach is a big differenece if you do spins, flips, etc. I noticed that I like frames between 415-424mm reach in the past.
But Reach ist not everything, I just don't like short frames.
