Greetings! I've decided to purchase an Orbea Rise H30 but having some trouble deciding on the size to purchase. There are no Orbea dealers within 2 hours/140mi from me and the dealer that is closest won't have any in stock for a few months, at best. Thus, I need some help from the community so I can get my first emtb!
What is the RAD (Rider Area Distance) for your Rise? I'm deciding between Medium and Small but I'd like to use this post as a point of reference for all Rise members so Large and XL are helpful too. I'll edit this post with the values for all to quickly reference.
Small:
Medium: 82cm
Large: 86cm
X-Large:
I've searched the forums and found many posts about height to frame size but I didn't see anything for "RAD". In basic terms, the "RAD" measurement is the distance from the center of the BB to the center intersection of the grips. This part in a Joy of Bike video explains it: This video will also show you how to measure your own RAD to see how it compares to your bike's RAD.
