Hello all. This is a thread for riders 6' tall and above. Come here to talk with other riders that share your same difficulties as a larger rider. Post your bike setups, what style of riding your into or just come to relax. Thanks.

I'm 6'1" and I ride DH. I have a medium 04 Norco Team DH. I find it is hard to find a frame that has a long enough cockpit.

6 foot 3, 220 pounds. I break a lot of stuff, and my knees hit the handlebars a lot on most bikes. Sucks. Body armor makes me look huge.

I am 6'7" and I ride a XL Ellsworth Evolve 29er. If you ride XC and you are over 6'4" trust me make the switch to a 29er.
You will finally feel normal on a bike.

I'm 6' and I'm stuck on whether I should get a medium or large Evil revolt. Most people tell me a medium would fit but has anyone ridden a large Evil Revolt?

I am 6 feet tall and 150 lbs. My Freeride/dh bike is a medium and my DJ is a small.
I kinda like smaller bikes...

I'm. 6ft I rock a size

Short p2 frame sure it's small as heck but it's super flickable in the air

Medium bottlerocket pretty good for all around riding I raise the seat sometimes for climbing
