Hello! I'm really struggling with which size I should choose, I'm looking to buy the Haibike Nduro 6 (Haibike | Nduro 6 | Agile electric MTB for shredding trails)
I visited my local bike shop today who had one in stock in a size L and I thought it seemed great to ride with no issues but the guy at the shop was adamant due to my height I should be choosing a bike with an XL frame. I'm 6ft2 with longer legs and a shorter torso and average arm length. I did also test ride an XL on an AllMtn and I didn't notice a huge difference apart from the seat height being ridiculously high but that can be adjusted on both bikes with the dropper.
The Nduro 6 in size L is on sale right now for £3500 where as the XL frame isn't discounted and is £4899, so clearly from a financial standpoint I am swaying towards the size L. All advice would be greatly appreciated!
