Specifications subject to change without notice.

Note: Frame Size is determined by measuring the distance from the center of the bottom bracket (bolt that locks in the crank) to the top of the seat tube.

Standover Height is determined by measuring the distance from the ground to the top tube. A bike that you ride only on paved surfaces and never take off road should give you a minimum standover height clearance of 2 inches. A bike that you ride on unpaved surfaces should give you a minimum of 3 inches of standover height clearance. And a bike that you ride off road should give you a minimum of 4 inches of standover height clearance.
