I am getting a Vp -free frame for hucking, FR, and DH. I am torn between a small and medium becuase of *flickability*. I am 5'11", 165. If anyone has a vp or has ridden one, please give me some feedback. Thanks.

Since you're 5'11", naturally I would say medium, but I have never ridden one before.

I am about 6' 1/2" or so and I ride a medium, feels great with a 70 mm stem. A large with a shorter stem would fit ok too but I like smaller big bikes. If you are 5' 11" I would say go with the medium, the small will probably feel too cramped.

I'm 5'9" and ride a medium. A friend has a small and it seems too small for me.

Hey OGRipper - you going to Otter again? If you are, I'll see ya there.

6'1" riding a medium...feels perfect to me FWIW.

You bet man. Not sure if I'm gonna race again but I will definitely be there for most of the weekend, we'll have to connect. I'll be hitting Whistler at some point later in the summer too, like July or August. After two years of sloppy early June riding I am determined to ride the upper part of the mountain when it's dry.

Cool - I think I still have your #. I'm not racing the Free this time at Otter - way too much pedaling for that bike. I'm bringing the Blur 4X.

 

[fiddy_ryder]

for your height the medium will fit.

Sweet. Yeah my heckler was plenty of bike last year, the 4X will rock. I'l drop you a line as we get closer to the Otter.

I'm 5'11 and ride a medium. The medium is plenty flickable, so long as you have a decent, relatively lightweight wheelset.

I am about 5'11", and I ride a medium with a 888. It is a tad too big with a 70mm integrated stem, but I plan on switching it to a 50mm stem and get flat crowns, lowering the steerer height.

I have a 888 i will be putting on it, do you recommend I get a small then?

 

[ncrider]

you should get a medium. Make sure you get a fox dhx. I've recently switch to a dhx from a 5th and the difference is amazing. Also, if you get a 888 the flat crowns are a must.

 

[haromtnbiker]

I hucked a medium vp-free off some cliffs. And a large bullit. I also took a large v-10 off a 25 foot trail gap. And the thing is, my small bighit feels no smaller than any of these bikes. I am 5'-9"!

 

[DirtyMike]

Your size and weight SC chart puts you on a medium

 

[OGRipper]

If there is no way for you to ride them both prior to buying one, get a medium. It will not be too big unless you are lying about how big you are.

Or, if you're planning on doing mostly jumps and drops, consider the Roco. I have one on my Free and it is awesome.

I am 5 ft. 10 @ 180lbs and I ride a med free and I can't say that I even ever sat on a small, but I can tell you that the med is a great fit for all the types of riding that I do
