Looking at getting one of these very soon, but have become aware of some sizing 'issues'
I rode a medium last year, loved it, though felt it was a bit small.
I am 6'1", and going off pivot sizing that would be large.
However, my current bikes (L meta AM and L spesh enduro) dimension wise put me squarely in XL category.
The ETT of enduro and meta is 620mm
ETT of large pivot is 607, the XL is 627
Any owners/ knowledgable folk give me a bit of feedback?
Cheers

ETT of large pivot is 607
The Reach is more important:
Large Meta - 453
Large Pivot - 414
XL Pivot - 425
Even that XL Pivot is pretty short in the reach department, it's more like a medium in most other bikes.
So, sat down, the XL would probably feel about normal with a shorter stem, but standing up would feel a good bit shorter.
The Large would probably be better with a bit longer stem, but at 414, that's a very short bike.
For comparison, everyone goes on about the Nomad being a short'ish bike (it's long for SC)
The Medium has a reach of 415, so longer than the Large Pivot. The ETT is 585 for comparison.
If you've got normal sized legs and mega short arms, the Pivot looks right on paper. Essentially, it looks like female specific geometry.
