[@nathaniel2630]

How do you find this bike jumps? Is it fairly agile/flickable in the air? For context, I'm also 173cm and looking at getting a medium Aeris 9

[@TheContourCollective]

It’s stable as much as moveable in the air. The angles make it pretty predictable. Maybe sizing up smaller would help for more movement in the air though?

[@nazarethzuanare1062]

🆗

[@floppydu26]

Hello, what is the rider size ? (To compare size choice between M an ML)

[@TheContourCollective]

173cm 🕺
