Any tall riders with these? 6'6" and wouldn't normally look twice at brands that don't have an XL model, that said the L is 21.5" and seems to have a healthy wheelbase.

Is that toptube measurement literally how it's been measured? I thought it was generally measured horizontally to the point where it meets the seatpost?

Only posting as some fiend bought the 2012 Rocky Mountain Element 950 in 21.5" that I'd been eyeing up!

Oh actually, quick browse and it seems it's probably a bit short.

Good chunk of the comments moaning about lack of XL. Bah! Just one company should release a decent sized 29er xc full sus frame for sub £1500, you'd have a monopoly.

At 6'6" it will be a bit short.
Don't Specialized have something huge?

Yeah 🙂 They do 23", but they're getting to be a right rip off. £1500 for XC 30 forks and Alivio on a Camber, cheapest Epics are £2600 now (with X7/X9 bits).

Cheers for the swift reply by the way!

Plan b is giving up on suspension and just getting another Scandal to be honest!

I've got a large, it's got a 21.5 sea tube but feels like a 19-20 reach wise so an XL might be a bit short..
