hallo there!

i am 6'0'' (1,83m) tall with a 33.5in (85cm) inseam.

i am about to buy the supreme dh v2 or v3.

should i go medium or large? (s/m - l/xl for the v2)

i want a bike that is stable but also chuckable in the twisties.

i don't want to feel cramped, and i also don't want to feel like i am over the bars.

thanks!

I dunno how the sizing is compared to the 2011 supreme dh,

but i'm 5'10" and I have a 2011 s/m and it feels ok, but for anyone taller(about 6ft) i reckon a l/xl

The best thing i would suggest is to sit on one

I rode the M in France (DH - V3) and it was a little small but I would be border line M or L but would prefer L. I am just under 6ft.

the large v3 has 607 mm tt. isn't it a bit long?

i don't want to feel stretched on the bike, nor cramped.

 Huh? Huh?

Where do you live? Maybe you could get to a shop and sit on one before you buy? They should be in shops by end of November at the latest.

I guess you could be 6 ft tall with long legs and short body or the opposite. Always best to try if you can.

I only know about the V3.  I'm 5'11'' and thought the Medium would be right, however it felt a bit too cramped.  The large is perfect for me, prob be right up to about 6'1''. God knows what you would do if you were much taller.

because of the adjust wheelbase / headandlge you can set it up for stability on high speed tracks (longer) or shorter for twisty tight tracks.  Large feels perfect for me in the cockpit.
