Downhill Large Intense M6 Owner - How Tall?

I'm 6'5" and thinking of buying a used large M6 and am wondering if it will be big enough.

Anyone around my height and riding a large M6?

If there are any large M6 owners on the Westside I'd love to sit/bounce around on your steed for a couple minutes...yeah that sounds bad.

 

PM J_Sims, he's got a M6 and about your size.

 

Done, awaiting his response.

 

Bryan (bryguy17) is another guy you should PM........he's spent some time riding an M6 as well.

 

are you long-legged or long-waisted (torso)?

if you're a leggy guy (such as someone like J_sims), then you should get along well with one.

personally, I'm have an abnormally long torso (6'6" and only 33" inseam), and long arms to match. If you're anywhere near that, I feel your plight.

I can definitely ride the crap out of an M6, but I do think that it could afford to be .25-.5" longer in the TT department to be really comfortable for me.

my measured reach (horizontal BB to middle of top of headtube) is only 16" on the M6. for reference, that's about the same reach as my 22.5" blk mrkt mob.

if you can manage to get a few good runs on one, do it. try and do it on a steeper, more technical trail too, which will really help you know if it's long enough for you.

If you've got any questions, I'm happy to answer them though

 

Rich Houseman rides one. He's tall and fast. PM Big House.

 

Thanks for the response guys.

Any pictures of you riding the bike? Curious to see how it looks underneath you.

Thanks!
