A Complete Guide to Bike Sizes
Foreword: Not all bike sizes are the same
Each type of bike has a specific frame and often uses a different size scale. For example, a road bike with a 54cm frame might be considered a medium size by one brand, but a large by another.
Bicycle adjustment margins
Some types of bikes, like gravel bikes, offer a wide range of adjustments, adapting to different body types. Other models, however, have limitations in this regard. This is an important aspect to consider.

Size Charts: Find Your Perfect Bike
Gravel and road bikes
Sizes are based on the length of the top tube (in cm), which determines the reach of the bike.
| Cut | Recommended height | Horizontal tube length |
|---|---|---|
| XS | Up to 157 cm | 48-50 cm |
| S | 157-167 cm | 50-53 cm |
| M | 168-178 cm | 53-56 cm |
| THE | 178-185 cm | 56-58 cm |
| XL | Over 185cm | 58-62 cm |
For gravel, measurements may vary slightly due to different geometries, but remain similar.
Mountain bike
MTBs are measured in inches, based on the seat tube.
| Cut | Recommended height | Size (in inches) |
|---|---|---|
| XS | Up to 157 cm | 14"-16" |
| S | 157-167 cm | 15"-17" |

| THE | 178-185 cm | 18"-20" |
| XL | Over 185cm | 20"-23" |

| 5-8 years | 20" |
