Amplitude Size Guide
What Size Saracen Amplitude Do I Need?
The Saracen Amplitude is a dedicated dirt jump bike built for jumps, pump tracks and sessions at the local trails. Choosing the right size starts with your height, but how you want the bike to feel when you're taking off, landing and moving through the air matters just as much.
Saracen Amplitude Size Guide
| Size | Rider height |
|---|---|
| Medium | 154–180cm |
| Large | 178–190cm |
These measurements are a starting point rather than a hard rule. The Amplitude comes in Medium and Large, so your preferred riding style and the feel you want from the bike are particularly important when choosing between them.
How Does the Saracen Amplitude Fit?
The Amplitude has a compact, purpose-built dirt jump geometry designed to feel predictable and playful when jumping, pumping and riding technical lines. Its 26-inch wheels and 100mm of front suspension help keep the bike manoeuvrable and controlled through take-offs and landings.
Unlike a trail or enduro bike, a dirt jump bike isn't sized around long-distance comfort or all-day pedalling. The aim is to find a fit that lets you move freely around the bike, control it in the air and feel confident on the take-off and landing.
What If I'm Between Amplitude Sizes?
If you're choosing between Medium and Large, think about how you want the bike to handle. Medium offers a more compact, agile feel that can make it easier to move the bike around for jumps and tricks. Large gives taller riders more room and can offer a more stable feel. Neither is automatically better; your height, experience and personal preference all play a part.
