They are long bikes. I’m 175 on M and fits nicely. It’s very subjective and I’m always a fan of a bike being smaller for you than too large for you.
@lucasetche Ай бұрын
I am 180cm and M feels just good , i wouldn't want it bigger i think for 171cm S is better since Mondraker bikes are pretty Long ^^

What is your opinion on E-MTB vs MTB..?
@TrailAdvisor Жыл бұрын
Hey. Sorry I missed this comment. My opinion is a bit weird. I see it as two almost completely separate sports! EMTB has its place and is very cool. But you need to be either riding on your own a lot or else riding with other ebikers. Otherwise you just get bored / cold waiting for normal bikers at tops of trails. The one caveat is SL e-bikes. These maybe bridge the GAP between the two a bit more. If you buy an e-bike it’s very easy to never use a normal bike again….. and that’s ok too if that’s what you want to do. I’m very proud of how disciplined I am. I will not go out on my ebike with others on a normal bike unless I’m doing multiple coaching sessions or guiding. How that answers your question!!

I’ve been overweight for all my adult life. I’ve recently lost 20kg. I’m fitter than you might think. I may blow hard but can go all day. Check out my Strava Stats. I’ve ridden days of 50 / 60 / 70 km plus. I ride my normal bike approximately 80% plus of ridesI’ve qualified to the highest level of MTB coaching available in both Ireland and UK. If I breath heavy and you don’t like it you can turn down the sound!!
