For example, if you’re 5’8”, you could ride a S2, S3, or S4. If you want a ride that’s balanced between maneuverability and stability, S3 will be your size. If you want a more nimble ride, you’d drop down to a S2. Want a bike that’s more stable at speed? Bump up to a S4.

Style-specific sizing—or S-Sizing—provides the flexibility to find the trail rider’s perfect fit.
