I am16 years old and I am 6'4" 195lbs, what size mountain bike frame is right for me?

Question

When I was younger I was into a lot of downhill biking and after a few years I got kind of caught up in things and now I do not know what size frame I need for my bike since I've grown about 7" since back when I sessioned a lot.

Answer 1

Go with the one that feels comfortable bro

Answer 2

your frame sizes are 21.5 and 22.

Answer 3

You are going to need a XXL. I would recommend looking at a 29" wheel bike. Turner makes a great bike in a Sasquach size.

Answer 4

Mark,

You'll need to go to the bike shop and try some out with the salesperson there to give you advice.

Good luck!

Answer 5

You're about my size and I ride a 21" mountain bike or XL as some manufacturers size them. On a road bike I ride a 59 - 62 cm - depending on the reach and frame geometry. Most of this also depends on if your height is in your legs or torso. Be cautious not to get a bike too big for you - it seems like because you're tall everyone automatically thinks you should have the biggest bike on the planet. There is nothing worse than riding a bike that's too big for you.

I have found that 29'er (tire size) mountain bikes works great for tall people - check them out. There are quite a few manufactures of 29'er mountain bikes over the past few years as they are increasing in popularity. Mine is a Gary Fisher, Mt. Tam. I'm not sure if they still make that model but there are many others.
