Specialized S-Sizing Chart (MTB/Trail)

• S2 (S): 5'2" - 5'8" (158 - 173cm)
• S3 (M): 5'5" - 5'11" (165 - 180cm)

Key S-Sizing Principles

• Riding Style: If you are between sizes, choose smaller for more agility (jumping, tight trails) or larger for high-speed stability
• Standover Height: S-Sizing uses shorter seat tubes, meaning most riders can comfortably fit on two or more sizes
• Reach Matters: The main difference between sizes is the reach (horizontal distance from pedals to handle bars), not the height of the bike.
