175cm,82 cm inner leg / 5.85 and 32 inseam - Size m or l? Orbea Rise Hydro

[TomTom78]

Hello, i am ready to order the new H15, but so much between M and L im my head.
I am looking for someone who is nearly exactly my size written above
and can tell me what Size was chosen?

The M people, do you still can ride
longer rides or di you you the bike just for tight corner trails and jumps?

The L people my size, do you are still good in bunnyhop, wheelie
and theowing around the bike? Still playfull and agile?

Lot of money... not the chance to testride them before ordering.

Thanks a lot

I'm 176 and 80 inseam (78kg) and on a medium.
Normal ride is 30km, mix of tech singletrack and open fireroad.
Stability and flickability is awesome (former Jam2 and Turbo Levo 2020).

What type of riding and terrain do you do ?

Thanks, i was doing touring through the hills as well as tight corner trails.So i would need a mix of agility and playfullness but also a Comfort Tourer i would say.
My bike now is a 2018 Levo in Large, which could be more playful. The 2019/20 Levo Medium of my girlfriend is a bit more palyful but not good for longer rides..and i have to put the saddle back all the way whats possible...

Judging from your last comment i'd go for a large. I'm 5'10" and am stoked to have gone bigger, in my mind it is a small bike in general.

My friend is your size and bought the Medium M10 but added a slightly longer stem. He has been very happy with it and is glad he didn't get the large.

I'm only 5ft5/165cm and I test/sat on a medium and it was the right size. Almost identical to my current 2006 kona hardtail in dimensions in a small. A small would definately be too small for me. My comment probably doesn't help!

I'm your size exactly and I purchased a medium. It's the perfect balance of playfulness and comfort for me and fine on longer rides. I think the large would have been too stretched out although some riders like a longer reach.
