Size guide

The frame size is the first choice on every bike. Start with your height, then check the stand-over clearance.

Adult bikes (road, gravel, city, e-bike, mountain, cargo)

XXS 4646 cm150 to 158 cmsmallest wheels-to-rider fit, short reach

XL 5858 cm183 to 191 cm
XXL 6161 cm189 to 200 cmlongest reach and stack

Mountain bikes are measured from the bottom bracket to the top of the seat tube as well, so the same table applies; the frames are shorter but longer in reach.

Kids bikes

The kids frames have 20-inch wheels. The builder size sets the saddle and handlebar range:

Builder sizeRider heightAge (about)
XXS 46110 to 120 cm5 to 6
XS 49115 to 125 cm6 to 7
S 52 and up120 to 135 cm7 to 9

Between two sizes?

Choose the smaller frame for a sportier, lower position and the larger one for comfort on long rides. Saddle height and handlebar position adjust by 2 to 4 cm on every bike.

Check at home

  • Stand-over: at least 2 cm between you and the top tube when you stand over the bike (road, gravel, mountain).
  • Step-through and city frames: seated, you should reach the ground with the balls of both feet.
  • Reach: with your hands on the bar, your elbows should be slightly bent.
