I placed an order for my son. I bought the 22” frame as He is 13 and 6’ tall and still growing. He also currently has a 34.5” inseam.

Their sizing guide stops at the 20”: It states the 20” is good for 5’8” - 6’3” and 29”-34” inseam.

Do you think the 22” is the right choice??? Even if it is a little big for him now I want soMe room to grow.

I was considering this bike recently. I am 6’. I think you did well since he’s still growing. These run smaller in reach than normal bikes. i was between 20 and 22.

Modern mountain bike geometry is based on reach, not seat tube length. I would be looking at the reach numbers to make sure the bike fits.
