Choosing Between Sizes

If you are between sizes, Santa Cruz recommends test riding when possible or comparing the stack and reach to a bike you already ride comfortably. A larger frame will feel more stable and roomy, while a smaller frame will feel easier to maneuver and more playful. Riders with longer legs and a shorter torso may prefer sizing down, while riders with a longer torso and arms may prefer sizing up.
