Would this bike be suitable for a man who is 6 ft 3 tall?
Hi Emma,
Yes, you would need the XL size although it would always be advisable to try the bike to ensure the geometry feels comfortable, sizing is a guide and everyone has individual body shapes.

hi ian, Can you guide me on bike size for the turbo vado sl 4.0 - i am 5'8 ( 80kg) and happy to be more upright and normal crossbar with flat bars required. what bike size in this range should i be looking at ? kindest Martyn
chelmsford-store
Hi Martyn,
I would say a medium would be the most appropriate size for you, this size normally caters for riders between 5`5" and 5`10" without any issues.
Sizing is a guide and most are based on a riders height, if possible it is always beneficial to try the bike in-store first, each rider is individual and may have different requirements due to physical limitations, injury's, body geometry shape or just prefers a bike to feel slightly smaller or larger.
We do not have a medium Vado in-store but we do have a large step-thru which you could try, this would give you an indication on how the geometry works for you.
Hope this helps and please let me know if you need any further advice.
Kind Regard
Ian
