Hi all
Want to order one but they are not here to test yet.
I am 1.80 meters 5 foot 10 normal build.
What size should fit me?

Thanx Ron

I’m 5,11 and have an 18” frame and it fits perfectly. Having said that I have 160 AT, my mate has a 140 TM with an 18” frame and it’s too small for me. So recommend a test ride as the size will depend on the bike you buy.

I’m 5,9” and the medium fits me well, mines the 160 AT as well
my friend is 6 ft and he has the large which fits him
if that helps at all......probably not....but I thought I’d let you know any way ?

I'm 183 and I bought the 20 and it's slightly too big for me. I've had to fiddle about getting a new seatpost to make it fit. I'd always suggest going to a shop to try a bike for size. Also, a smaller bike is always easier to adjust to your size than a larger bike.

Hi all,
Update.
I went with a 20inch stereo 140 hpc
18 inch felt to small.
No regrets what so ever..
Love the handeling and the bosch motor, it is much quieter than the shimano .
It almost feels like a non motor bike.
After dialing in the fox shocks its a dream.
Test rode a specialized levo comp for 2 hours last week and like the cube better.
But thats my opinion.

Nice bike. Yep 20 inch is what I’d go for. 18 would be too small. I’m also 183cm.
With my Cube hardtail I only had the option of 19 or 21 inch so went for the 19inch.
what is your frame made out of? Is it carbon?
