With modern geometry becoming longer, lower and slacker and bikes in general being larger. Anna and Rich test whether frame size really matters. Is a bigger bike better? or will a smaller more playful bike put down a faster time for both riders? Lets find out!

At least the suspension could have been set up properly for each other's bike as it was a test for the wrong size bike, not improper suspension set up. Poor suspension setup can have a big impact on perception of size differences.

I think the more important thing about sizing is not whether it’s a small, medium or large, but what are the dimensions of those sizes, because a medium can have a different reach depending on the brand. I have seen as much as a 15 to 20 mm difference across brands in their medium size and for me being 170 cm I fall at the top of small in the bottom of medium

I feel a better "real world" comparison would be for the rider to be riding an oversize and undersize bike set up as best as possible for that rider... As that's what we face in the real world... a bike that's not quite the right size... but with a taller/shorter seat, longer/shorter cranks, bigger/smaller/higher/lower head stem... wider/narrower bars etc etc.. It's not often you ride another riders bike that is hugely different to your own (unless unavoidable)... but far more common (especially on a budget like me) where you buy a bike 2nd hand... didn't get a lot of choice over size (but most likely tried to at least get close).. then adjusted what you could on that budget... (For me that was just putting a dropper on and hopefully at some stage, trying to mullet a 27.5 into the 26" totems to get the rake out a little on what is an extremely agile (twitchy) Giant Faith 0 sitting under an otherwise mediocre 55yo)

I used to ride my dad’s old Trek hard tail before I bought my Santa Cruz 5010 in April. The Trek bike is a size Large and the Santa Cruz is a size X-Large. Anytime I rode on my local trails with my dad’s Trek I would always get lower back pain. With the Santa Cruz, I haven’t had any problems with it so far. Still use my dad’s Trek at jump tracks because it’s the same weight as my Santa Cruz and is easier to throw around

Yes and no. My mate is 145cm and has an XS Pinnacle HT. Fits her perfectly. I'm 176 and it fits me just fine in context. I couldn't ride it for any distance but when railing a jump line it's like a BMX for MTB riders. It's amazing. I've also ridden an XL Mondraker Summum DH. Again, couldn't ride distance but my gods it was fast downhill. Relative to a correctly fit bike it felt way more stable due to the extra wheelbase. Ultimately, size is important for long term riding. If you're hitting bike parks with uplift then you can get away with inappropriate sizing if it offers a more throwable or more stable set up depending on what you want. If I were riding jump lines all the time then the mini Pinnacle would be perfect, it's like a slopestyle you can climb.

Earlier this summer I went for a ride with my brother in law and he's pretty much Anna's size and I'm Rich's size... He had his new MTB and he loaned me his old one and I proceeded to max out the seat tube adjustment. We went for a ride on a trail near his home. We had a blast going through the mostly uphill bits of the trail and at the end of it we swapped bikes. I'm not gonna lie, the new bike felt way better when sending it downhill, it just blasted through everything but the climbs were dreadful and the ride back home on a few K's of paved road were the worst bit... It just felt too small overall. His old bike, while too short I could at least find a compromise. I went back there this past weekend and I had my cyclocross bike and we hit the same trail... There were a few sketchy bits like a washed out culvert with just stones sticking out and my chainring had no chance of clearing that... So I had to portage that bit and there were a few brutal climbs that I was'nt geared for, but all in all I managed to keep up with him when it got to the CX bits and we had a blast!! My takeaway was that it was not the optimal bike for the task, but at least when it did shine through I came out at my best and I was hard on my BIL's tail!! When we flew out of the trail there was a long downhill paved road with a 30Km/h speed limit.... promptly broken... Then The road climb back up I gained the advantage and the more road bike gearing left him in the dust but it was so much fun! Size does matter! it's ergonomics!! And after watching Seth's review of the Ozark Trail MTB over on his channel, I might cross the border to get one (Can't get them in Canuckistan, need to go to Vermont) or wait 'till next year when a Decathlon opens in town!!

Size is very important, I’m just under 5’10” but have very short legs (30” jeans) and a so a long torso (I’m taller seated than a friend who is 6’1” tall), my first MTB I was advised to get a small for my leg length, it was far too short for my torso height (length as you lean forward), I now ride a medium but have the saddle right back and a longer stem (a large suites better for length but hampers me moving around on the bike), my road going hybrid is a large frame to get the right length as moving around on the bike isn’t necessary.

My bikes are too small for me both my mediums have a 435 reach on them and I'm 5'9. I personally find that on smaller bikes it's harder to balance your weight due to the shorter wheel base and it's harder to stay over the bottom bracket esp in turns and any shifts in position can make a big difference in grip. That also applies to balancing your suspension. While they are more maneuverable, even when jumping, you have a lot higher chance of crashing if you're not perfectly centered when leaving the lip or pushing through a turn. My future bikes will all be 460/470. Can def too long of a bike being a problem too esp in the maneuverability department.

Opinion: even without controlling all setup variables, this test is still very relevant. In Anna's case, she's slower by a mere 3% and Rich 3.5%. For hobbists like me, bike sizing sounds like just a matter of preference. I have been in the "downsizing" phase of my hobby & have been loving it. Perhaps I should pick up a Large frame again & feel the difference going the other direction?

Getting the most out of the suspension that is how its supposed to be setup. Why Run a 150 Fork if I only use 130 worth of fork makes no sense.

I mean you’ve done this video already multiple times. Like you said at the end The idea to give Anna a size up from hers and rich a size down ie both ride a medium is what this video should have been. Let’s be honest someone 5 foot 2 isn’t going to be debating getting a size large nor is someone 6 foot 1 going to buy a small. The average person between sizes will not find this helpful as it’s too big of a jump between sizes. Plus there’s 2 other videos on this channel that this is repeating.

Poor test, should've set up suspension accordingly. Hilarious video still. Lol.

You take some duct tape and a hacksaw, custom geo doesn't need to be costly 😂

Depends on the year of production. I’d say with modern bikes go for M

The Medium test needs to be down, I'll be alot more beneficial than the extremes

What is the point of finding out what size bike is fastest if the suspension is not set up for the rider….it’s like comparing apples to oranges but when you switch you get a rotten one to compare it to
