| Rider Height | Suggested Frame Size |
|---|---|
| 5′3″ to 5′7″ (160cm-170cm) | Small / 15" |
| 5′6″ to 5′10″ (168cm-178cm) | Medium / 16.5" |
| 5′9″ to 6′2″ (175cm- 188cm) | Large /18" |
| 6′1″ to 6′4″ (185cm- 193cm) | X-Large / 19.5" |
All frame size recommendations are approximate. A good fit will also depend on the correct choice of stem length, correct bike set-up for the rider and riding style.
Correct frame size choice can vary greatly with riders' torso length. If you have longer legs and a shorter torso, go for a slightly shorter stem. If you think you are borderline between sizes, and you have longer legs and a shorter torso, go for the smaller frame size. If you have shorter legs and a longer torso, go for the larger frame size to get the extra top tube length.
As the frame sizes increase, so does the length of the head tube. If you are inflexible or perhaps have a history of back problems, consider going for a larger frame size. This will increase the relative height of the handlebars making the position less “extreme”. The larger frame will also have a longer top tube, so you’ll need to compensate for this with a shorter stem.

I have just received my Scandal frame, The pictures do not do it justice, The finish and quality are awesome. I am building my own custom build with a GX Groupset rockshox recon forks, stans no tubes arch 1s wheel set and race face and hope finishing kit. You can buy off the shelf hardtails from the big players i have owned many, how planet X can produce such quality frames at the low cost is unbelievable My finished scandal will be lighter than off the shelf bikes and the quality and finish is as good or better, The customer service is 1st class, i can highly reccomend the scandal frame it is better than expected and the pictures do not do it justice. Thank you planet X Kind regards Robert swansea
