BIKE FRAME SIZE DETAILS
UNISEX or MEN’S FRAME SIZE?
Unisex Bikes – These are the most versatile, with a lower crossbar, slightly smaller frame, and available in 24″ and 26″ wheel sizes.
Men’s Bikes – Taller audiences, with lots of riders 5’10” and greater will appreciate you having a good mix of the slightly larger frame that comes with the men’s 26″ wheels.
Men’s Tall Bikes – These bikes are 26″ but with a slightly elongated and thicker frame; great for 6’1 and over.
Unisex Stretch Bikes – These fit most riders over 4’4″ in height, and ride low and long for an ultra cool look.
BIKE FIT is FLEXIBLE
When you see racks of bikes at the beach available for rent they are likely 26” bikes with a few 24” thrown in for smaller riders. For comfort bikes like beach bikes, hybrids, and mountain bikes, you can move the seat and handlebars up and down to fit most riders in the range of a several inches in height or leg length.
COMMON QUESTIONS
26″ bike for what size person?
Typically riders between 5′ and 6′ are most comfortable on a 26″ bike. If you have shorter legs for your height, and are at the lower end of the height range, try a 24″ bike instead.
24 vs 26 inch bike? 24″ or 26″ bike is better fit?
The frame is 1 1/2″ smaller on a 24″ bike, and the wheels are 2″ smaller in diameter, making this an overall small ride.
What is the 26″ bike height?
Most people 5′ to 6′ will be comfortable on this size bike. Taller riders and those with longer legs like the Tall Bike better. It has an elongated frame to go with it’s 26″ wheels so fits a tall or long legged person better.
