Opting for a larger size frame offers enhanced stability and greater freedom of movement without compromising the bike's weight-balance. The extended frame positions the front wheel further ahead, instilling a sense of security. However, keep in mind that shifting the weight-bias of the bike will demand more significant body movements. Consider your riding style and the level of intuitiveness you desire in your ride versus stability and speed. Embrace the challenge of maneuvering the larger bike, as it may require a bit more effort, but it opens up exciting possibilities for a dynamic and engaging riding experience.
Each body is unique, even at the same height. For those with longer legs and a shorter torso compared to the average person of their height, the smaller of the recommended sizes may be more suitable. Conversely, if you have a longer torso and arms, sizing up would likely be the better choice. Prioritizing the right fit based on your body proportions ensures optimal comfort and performance during your rides.
