I'm currently riding a medium Orange alpine but have been looking at a Foxy. I'm 6' tall, will a medium Foxy be right or should I go for the large? Only asking due to Mondraker sizing and I'll be buying online. Cheers.

    Depends on your body proportions and how you like your bike to fit. Get some test rides.

    True. Looked at their sizing chart and it recommends a large was hoping for some owners feedback, thanks.

    Nobody else knows your specific odd body shape. If you're spending that much at least sit on one first.

    You could get away on a medium as they are quite big bikes, but I'd be tempted to go for a large. Obviously it's impossible to say for you but riding a large Foxu myself at 6ft 1 I've found it fits really well and the ride is stunning, you won't be disappointed!

    Wasn't too sure if they were like the YT Capra's and you should move a size up? Just after general sizing advice and appreciate one size doesn't fit all.

    Like I say the sizing comes on the big side, a medium Foxy is longer in cockpit than many large bikes and my large is bigger than some XL's, so you could ride a medium reasonably comfortably more than likely but I would definitely try to at least sit on one first.

    Yarp what lawman says..

    We are both similar heights, I'm a smidge taller and I ride the medium Dune.. Really is a try and see situation as its wholly dependant on body proportion.
