Frame height
Use your total height to locate the size range most likely to match your proportions.
Movelo Ride Sizing
Find the frame that feels right.
A better ride starts with fit. Use this guide to understand frame size, standover clearance, reach, riding posture, and the small details that help your bicycle feel natural from the first mile.
Fit is personal, not just numerical.
Use height as a starting point, then refine by ride style, inseam, flexibility, and the handling feel you prefer.
Fit Philosophy
Balanced sizing for control, comfort, and confidence.
Frame sizing is the relationship between your body, the bicycle geometry, and the way you ride. A smaller frame can feel more agile and upright. A larger frame may feel more stretched, stable, and efficient on open roads.
Movelo recommends using the chart as a guide, then checking inseam clearance and reach before choosing your final size.
01
Start with rider height
02
Confirm inseam clearance
03
Refine by riding style
Fit System
Four checks before you commit to a size.
Standover room
Check that you have comfortable clearance when standing over the top tube.
Reach feel
Your arms should feel supported, not locked out, with relaxed shoulders and stable control.
Ride posture
Choose a slightly different size only when it clearly supports your preferred handling style.
How To Measure
Simple measurements, better decisions.
-
Rider height
Stand straight without shoes and measure from floor to the top of your head.
-
Inseam
Measure from the floor to your cycling contact point while standing naturally.
-
Reach preference
Consider whether you want an upright comfort position or a longer, more performance-focused stance.
-
Terrain
Trail, city, road, and mixed riding can all influence how compact or stretched the bike should feel.
General Size Chart
A practical starting point for most riders.
Sizing can vary by model, geometry, tire setup, and riding preference. When you are between sizes, use inseam and reach feel to decide.
| Rider Height | Suggested Size | Frame Range | Best Fit Feel |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4'10"–5'2" / 147–157 cm | XS | 13–14 in / 47–49 cm | Compact control, easier mounting, agile handling. |
| 5'2"–5'6" / 157–168 cm | S | 15–16 in / 50–52 cm | Balanced comfort for city, trail, and everyday rides. |
| 5'6"–5'10" / 168–178 cm | M | 17–18 in / 53–55 cm | Versatile fit with confident stability and natural reach. |
| 5'10"–6'1" / 178–185 cm | L | 19–20 in / 56–58 cm | Stable cockpit feel for longer rides and open terrain. |
| 6'1"–6'4" / 185–193 cm | XL | 21–22 in / 59–61 cm | Roomier stance for taller riders and extended reach. |
| 6'4"+ / 193 cm+ | XXL | 23 in+ / 62 cm+ | Maximum frame room with a more open riding position. |
This guide is general and should be used with product-specific geometry when available. Accessories, saddle height, stem length, and handlebar position can further refine fit.

Sizing Notes
Common fit questions.
Choose the smaller size for a more agile and upright feel, or the larger size for a more stretched and stable ride. Inseam clearance and reach preference should guide the final decision.
Saddle height fine-tunes pedaling position, but it should not replace correct frame sizing. Start with frame fit, then adjust saddle and cockpit position.
No. Mountain bikes often use a different geometry and handling feel than road bikes. Always check the model type and intended terrain before choosing.
Yes, as a starting point. Electric bikes can feel different because of frame shape, battery placement, and weight distribution, so comfort and standover clearance still matter.
Start with fit. Ride with confidence.
