How Big Should a Mountain Bike Be: Finding the Perfect Size for Your Ride
Choosing the right size mountain bike depends on your height, inseam length, and riding style. The right size bike allows you to have proper balance, control, and comfort while riding. A rule of thumb is to stand over the bike with both feet flat on the ground and there should be a few inches of clearance between the top tube of the bike and your crotch. Additionally, check the bike manufacturer’s size chart and recommendations for more precise measurements.
