I'm 6'2". I'm coming from a XL 2016 Radon Swoop 170. Size wise it feels spot on. Top tube is same as my Swoop but plenty of extra reach. Seat angle feels weird just pedalling around the streets because it puts a lot of weight on your hands and I felt like I was sliding forwards off the saddle. I've moved the saddle back and titled it back just a touch and it's helped. I'm sure it'll make more sense once I actually get out on some proper climbs. Can't comment on how it rides just yet due to the Covid19 restrictions. I live in a really flat area and nearest trails are an 18 mile ride away.

My new Sentinel feels the same regarding the seat tube angle on flat terrain. But once I’m climbing a hill, it’s a dream.

Thanks for the reply as well. I'm currently riding Transition Patrol XL 2017 and need bigger reach, since I'm 195cm (around 6'4"). I have some longer than "normal" legs and arms attached to my body and wonder if that frame would feel crammed when seated, even when it has a longer reach, that should suit me. I guess the extended dropper might actually balance it.

Can you post a picture with a fully extended dropper? I would need to get it even higher than you.
