Any really tall MTB riders out there?

Only available in one size. I'd imagine that 22.5" would suit a 6 foot something person pretty well.

Massive discount. Just spotted it while window shopping, and not affiliated in any way.

Interesting. I'm 6'8" and looking for a bike in the near future. Pity I don't have any spare cash at the moment!

While not "really tall" i'm 6'4 and ride a 19" with a large seatpost!

I like the fact that they list the size in inchs and give the geometry in MM.


Im 6ft5 and never have a problem getting bikes that fit, if that giants got a 22.5 seat tube then its an absolute gate, if its a 22.5 TT then its not actually that big(sorry i cant be bothered to convert the mm t find out which)

Since the frame is quite large (I'm guessing that 22 inches is the seat tube), and therefore designed for tall riders, I'd be interested to read the details of the warranty to see if the manufacturer limits the ideal weight of the rider to something silly like 13 stone.

Read the great customer service reports on here from Scott carbon owners, and would constantly fear a knock or crack in the frame writing the bike off if I ran carbon . . . . . . . Looks luuuuuuuurrrrrrvely though

22.5" (XL) Giant frame is far too large for anyone 'just' on 6 ft. I ride a Giant Trance 1, 22.5" full suss and I have to ride with the seat well below full travel. I'm 6'5" - it's like riding a 5-bar gate!

I'm 6ft 5 and have just got an 07 Rockhopper 23". Great size. They sell very few apparantly at this size so not sure if it will be continued in the future. Evans are doing the disc version for 550 down from 650 for an 07 model as well.
