Hello , I am interesting in buying new VP free , but i dont know what size is best for me (small or medium)? I am 5'8''. I will ride DH and FR combined.
Thank you!
Fits me like a glove, but what I would recommend is that you;
A. Find someone who rides a VPFree and test ride theirs
B. Go to your local Santa Crus dealer and see what sizes they keep in stock or who in the shop has one that you can test ride.
But as it stands, you are 5'8" So I would recommend a small, unless you are still growng. How old are you?
I am sixteen , so i will grow more (i think?)
But if i buy small and grow up to 6' can i do something to make my bike bigger or i will kick bars with my legs?
No you should not count on making your bike bigger. You can add a longer stem or a laid-back seat post but those are pretty much band-aids that will compromise your position.

You might be able to get away with this on a road or an XC bike, but if your height changes by 2 inches or more, that typically puts you on the size bigger.
On the other hand, if you got a larger frame, your position on the bike would be horrible.
The third solution would be to get the correct sized bike now, then sell it later if you grow...
I'm 6'1 and riding a medium. You might want to get a small. But then again, you are still pretty young and a medium might be a good idea just in case you gain a couple inches in the next few years.

The problem with getting a medium now is it might be way too big for his current height.
Standover and reach could be at the limits, and if the reach too short even with a 50mm (or shorter) stem, then he could have a serious problem on the first drop-off.
Yeah, definitely get a small. Never buy a bike that is on the big side of things. It's way better to end up getting a little cramped on a small, fun bike that stretching out trying to ride a monster bike. Besides, in two or three years another cool bike will come out, and you'll want to sell the VP in order to get the latest and greatest. This happens to everybody. I repeat, never, ever buy a bike that is too big for you. I still ride a 13.5" XC frame comfortably and I'm 5'9". Go for the small!
look, my friend has bike that is same as vp medium (height,wb) and i feel great on that bike (it is not too small or to big) , but i have P3 that has ssame msurments as small , and i find it to small. What do you think about that?
SC have long top tubes wich is the only measurement that counts in my books. Get the small,you'll learn much quicker and have more fun.If you out grow it just sell it,or start smoking now.
