I was thinking of buying a Scion as a tough but not overkill trail bike to blast about the dale's. Im 5'11 and always on the border size wise, i was thinking about an 18" with a set of rev's dropped to 130.
Has anyone got any input re size ect, The sirius seems to get good reviews but there isn't much about the Scion.
Cheers folks 🙂

I've got a Scion, really nice bike. If you search my threads there's some pics of the build. Quality wise the finish is excellent, couldn't be happier with it.

Sizing - I'm 6'2 and the large is only just big enough. At your height I'd be tempted to at least try the large as well as the medium if possible.

I've not tried it with suspension but suspect it might be best with 120mm.

If you're in the lakes give me a shout and you can have a look at mine.

I'm around Ambleside/Windermere.

If I remember correctly the Scion is the same geo as the Sirius so you may find it easier to try one of those?

Large frame, now has Thompson layback seatpost as it was a bit cramped with the inline Hope. I'm 6'2", btw. Great bike, really happy with it.
