Hi,
I'm planing to buy a new bike, and most likely it will be SX trail 2010.
Now, i'm a bit puzzled about size, i'm 1.80m high, and i think size M would be fine for me. L would be too long, i think. I ride mostly technical stuff, no high speeds...

Thanx

I am 1.75m (5'9") and demoed an SX Trail for 2 days last year on varying to technical terrain. Most of the Specialized demo bikes are medium so thats what I rode and it felt spot on as far as size was concerned. I would go with the medium.

The head tech at my shop is 5'10" and is selling his 2010 large to get a med. He said the large felt great climbing, but it was a bit to long for what he really wanted to do on the bike. It's all prefference, but again this isn't an XC bike...

I'm 6' ish and had a medium 2008...it felt too small for me. I wanted a longer wheelbase for the fast stuff, and felt like on the medium I was too far over the front of the bike.
