The suggested rider height is the recommended height range for this size of bike as stated directly from the manufacturer for this specific model - It is the most reliable sizing metric.
However, please note that although these height ranges are recommended by the brand, they may not be accurate for everyone. Factors such as inseam length and preferred riding positions can affect the appropriate sizing.
If you see the label "not confirmed," it means either this brand doesn't provide recommended height ranges, or we were unable to locate it for this model. In these cases you you can refer to our general sizing guide
Most buyers never see the bike first
You can collect from the seller if you'd rather. But the bike is wherever the seller is, and you might be hundreds of miles away, so most people have it shipped and rely on us instead of a viewing.

How does buyer protection work?
Our Buyer Protection policy is in place to prevent any mis-selling on the platform and ensure you get exactly what you paid for! If the bike arrives "not as described", such as there is damage that wasn't disclosed in the listing, or the specifications are wrong, then you can return it to the seller free of charge. Simply contact our support team and we will arrange this for you. To learn more, please read here.
What if the bike doesn't fit me?
Frame size is the one thing photos can't tell you, so check the fit details on this listing against your height, and use the size guide if you're between sizes.
Buyer Protection covers a bike that isn't as described; it doesn't cover a change of mind on sizing. If you're unsure, message the seller for the stack, reach and standover before you buy.
Can I get the bike serviced before it arrives?
Yes. Add MNB Verify & Service at checkout and our mechanics inspect, service and safety-check the bike before it ships: brakes, gears, tyres, drivetrain and frame.
You get a written report of what was checked and anything replaced. It's the closest thing to seeing the bike yourself.
How do I know the specs are accurate?
The technical specifications are the manufacturer's factory list for that model and year, not a record of what's fitted today. Sellers commonly change wheels, saddles and finishing kit.
What the seller has actually changed is in the Upgrades and damage sections, and every listing is reviewed by a person before it goes live. If the bike arrives materially different from the listing, that's a Buyer Protection return.
