Reading the table

What changes through the size range

Front-end position

Stack and reach show how the head-tube reference point moves. A larger label does not imply that both values increase by the same amount.

Seated cockpit

Effective top tube, seat angle, stem length and saddle position affect how stretched the complete bike feels while seated.

Steering dimensions

Head angle and fork offset may stay fixed or change by size. Wheel and tyre radius are also needed before calculating trail.

Size recommendations

Height and inside-leg bands overlap deliberately. Riders near a boundary should compare both frames and assess control access, posture and intended riding.
