Think they've done away with the Evo bike for 2016 onwards to be accurate anyway but I'm just wondering about sizing. I'm a bawhair under 6'2" and the XL frame size has a similar top tube length to my other bike which I'm comfortable on. All the size guides tell me I'm borderline between a large and XL. I'm thinking I should be going for the XL. Does anyone have a different opinion? I have average dimensions for my height. Thanks

I am just over 6 foot and on a large camber evo but would say I am on the upper limit, feels fine to me with a 60mm stem but if I was any taller I would to xl. Even the XL is not particularly long, great bikes ! A 5 8 bike journalist would want a XXL though

I'm 5'10 and comfy on a large 2015 camber evo (I'm long bodied, like a little stretch and riding is wheels on the ground/no hucking focussed)

I would guess if you're 4" taller than me that the large will feel very "compact".

I'm 5'10" on a large 2016 Camber Comp carbon. You definitely need the XL.

I'm just over 6' on a large 2015 evo. I wouldn't want to be any bigger.

I'm 6'2" and run a large Camber evo (2014).

An XL would fit better, but as it's a slack seat-tube it works ok with a 170mm Reverb on the more steeper stuff we have around here.

If I lived somewhere flatter and/or more XC I'd want an XL.

In fact, if I'd bought it new I'd have got an XL. 🙂

[i]On a camber?[/i]

Golfie, Thornielee and Inners off-piste/enduro stuff is fine - I've put another airspring in the Pike to take it out to 140mm.

Big wheels roll 🙂

I ride one but with the 120mm it came with - I cant imagine it with 170mm on it that's all. Buy an enduro for that and a stumpy if you want 14mm??

Rockhshox Reverb - ie a dropper post.

And 120mm fork isn't enough for the camber, 140mm is perfect.
