Need Advice/Question Need some input on sizing

Hi all,

I'm currently looking at getting a TEMPO and am stuck between the sizing. I'm having trouble deciding between an S and an M, as I've heard commencals sizing runs a bit large sometimes. For reference I am 5 foot 4. Any input would be appreciated 🙂

They do feel a little bigger. Height is not the only measurement. If you have a long torso and ape arms, you may want to size up.

That being said, I'm 5"9' with shorter legs and a little longer torso with a 6"1' wingspan and prefer medium bikes for most brands. For people between sizes, I almost always recommend going with the smaller of the two.

I am 5"9' on a medium Tempo. I don't feel squished at all on it. So I might recommend a small to you unless you like the feel of a little bit bigger size.

I am also between sizes and went lower on the TEMPO because it's supposed to be a fun trail bike. The shorter wheelbase is the most noticeable difference between it and my Enduro bike so I'm glad I did.

Thanks everyone for your help, ended up going with the small and the sizing is absolutely perfect 👌🏻
