To find your perfect fit, you'll need to consider a few factors, including your height, weight, and riding style. Here's a breakdown of what to look for:
Height
The Lib Tech Orca comes in a range of sizes, from 147cm to 157cm. To determine the right size for your height, follow these guidelines:

Your weight also plays a crucial role in determining the right size for your Lib Tech Orca. Here's a general guideline:
