Looking for advise on sizing as I'm in between sizes, I'm 5'10 31 leg normally ride a medium but by sonders geo I'll also fit a large?
I can and may still have one delivered so I can try it out but want to get general idea from riders who all ready have one.
Plus let me know of any thing I should also know about owning a sonder.

Hey Paul, I’m 5’11” and ride a large Evol.
They’re not stupidly long like say a Bird or Cotic.
If you can stretch to it, go for Cane Creek bouncy bits.
Soooooo good.

I’m 5’11 on a medium. 33 inside leg.

If your near Edinburgh your welcome to try mine for size.

When you do get one be prepared for a
Really well finished bike and you’ll wonder why folks spend thousands more !!

Really is a very capable and looks way pricier.

I've ridden a mate's Evol, he is the same size as you and has a large. I'm the same size as plus one, but would find medium too small.

Thanks for the replies, I'm based in Devon so trying one is a costly task as I would need one sending down to me for a weekend which would cost £90 (reducing the budget)

I was looking at the bird Aeris one20 LT ( geo match or are similar to a large in a evol) but when I realised I could get a better spec bike with a Evol for £300 less it seems the better idea.

I would love to get the cane creek stuff but it's a little out of my budget. .

Try this: https://www.pinkbike.com/news/lee-mccormacks-guide-to-perfect-bike-set-up.html

I'm 175cm with a 31 inch inseam and my setup up on a V3 5010 (medium) is within 3mm of the calculation.

Not an issue for some but I'd struggle running a 125mm dropper on a large given the 465mm ST... something to consider when sizing up

That's what I thought nuke, so I've gone for the Medium Evol in rocket with a 125mm dropper.
Should see it in the next week or two.
