>>1384968Bikes used to be sized by inseam (leg length basically) because they all used the classic double-diamond shape so stand over height was an issue. Now mountain bikes are all swoopy shaped with dropper seatposts so that doesn’t matter anymore, most modern bikes are now sized for (arm/torso) reach length.
I would ride a few bikes and try to remember their reach numbers so you can get a feel for what’s “good” and how different a new bikes reach is.
I’m 6’0”, forgot my inseam, and ride a “large” mountain bike with 460mm reach
