Hey all,
Not easy to find much from other short riders. Curious to hear what other similar height people are on?
As a shorter rider, I love the long and short seat tubes of Transitions. Currently on a Medium V2 sentinel, but realizing I want to go mullet and try something new.
2 bikes I'm really eyeing are S1 or S2 HD6 or S2 Norco Sight high pivot.
Experienced rider in Seattle who also likes to race a handful of Enduros.
Would love to hear from similar height riders on their top pics and also any thoughts on the above bikes.
I’m maybe an inch taller, so still short! Currently on a new generation Fuel mx. The amount of potential configurations can be a rabbit hole, but it has allowed me to get it set up exactly how I want it to suit my build.
My son has the sight, but in a s3. Even being probably a size too big, I’ve found it really easy to get comfortable on. It feels like a lot of bike on flatter terrain but really balanced pointed down.
Transition Patrol?
Currently on sale likely due to rumours of a complete revamp next year. I'm taller and on a large but I think it's great.
My 5'5 son is also on a new generation fuel mx and loving it. The prices are also very competitive compared to other options.
Medium Rallon with 450 chain stays. 5’5” isn’t so short that you are limited in anyway on bike choices.
