I have a 2014 wfo9 on order, waiting on the second batch to hit here in a few weeks.

I started questioning my size choice a bit and was wonder what others who own them have experienced.

I currently have a JET9 RDO and a 2010 RIP9 in size large. Both those bikes fit me well. I'm just a hair (1mm) under 6' tall, but could also probably fit on a medium. I saw someone riding a 2014 WFO9 in size large the other day (first one I have seen in person) it was a large and it looked bigger than I expected.

I'm now wondering if a medium may be a better choice considering I plan to do more jumping, downhill... with it. This bike is replacing my RIP and I will keep the Jet. The RIP has served me well, but I want something slacker and more playful with a bit more travel.

The new WFO has a much shorter TT and reach. It feels much more cramped than the RIP and the old WFO. You will like the large. I am 6 ft and am considering getting the XL. I have very long legs (long Femur). The reach on the XL is nearly half inch shorter than the old Lg WFO and the TT is only .1 in longer.

Thanks for the info. I remember hearing it was more compact (which is what I want for this type of bike), but then this one I saw looked spread out. Maybe the rider was just small.... I did not get a chance to get a good look.

I'm 5' 9" and the M fits me perfect.
Go for the L, it's true that the TT is short...2 cm shorter than my old Commençal Meta AM29 (same size) and 1cm less than my TallboyLTc.

I think "little is better for DH (or DH oriented) bikes" is a big mistake,and much more if you need to pedal uphill.
