How to choose the right size for your mountain bike?

Choosing the right MTB frame size for your bike is crucial to your comfort and performance. There are several ways to determine the size of your mountain bike, but the most reliable is to use your inseam height as a guide.

  • Level : easy

Stages

  1. Take a tape measure and a thin, rigid support (a notebook, for example).

  2. Barefoot, place your backs against a wall, heels together and 5 cm apart.

  3. Place the rigid support between your thighs, making sure it's horizontal and in contact with your perineum.

  4. Measure the distance between the floor and the top of your rigid support. This will give you your inseam measurement.

  5. Refer to the table below to find the size of your bike that also corresponds to the size of the seat tube.
    Probikeshop tip Depending on the mountain bike brand, not all sizes are available. In this case, take the size that's closest to your size. If you're between 2 sizes, refine your choice with your size.
