Women’s XS e? Mtb

[Sinkrate]

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone has bought an emtb or normal mtb for a 5ft and light rider (7st) and has any recommendations? Emtb preferred

Had a quick look about but nothing stands out really.

Thanks for the advice

My wife is 5ft and a half, she has a XS Yeti SB140(27.5 version) and a S1 Levo. They both fit her perfectly though she prefers the lower stand over of the Yeti.

If you’re looking at the Yeti the new version of the 27.5 bike is SB135, the SB140 is now a 29er only. There’s some good deals on the older 27.5 SB140 floating around, especially in the XS size. Finding the S1 Levo was a real pain in the ass, nobody seemed to stock any and they’re not even listed on the concept store for the UK.

I recall someone on here buying a Trek Powerfly FS4 for their Mrs, it struck me how small it was and the standover was really low. Worth looking at.

Cube had true XS full 27,5" 140 full suspension (140 rear, 150 front) 2022. 625 Wh, Bosch CX 4th. I'm 5 ft, 110 lbs, inseam 25" and I got my heel on ground as dropper down. Spess S1/XS isn't that low, even though reach is very short. New models are mullets, so the 29" wouldn't be a problem, but seat tube length might be.
Pole has now Voima K0 - which is true XS, but it's really not a realistic choice to start with, 190 mm travel would make it hard to learn basic techniques. Size wise is just about small enough, a few inches taller rider would be optimum.
