Ryktn Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 Hi all first post so hellooo.... I would like to get into the trials scene as I have recently bought my daughter a torrot and going anywhere with her on my ktm is a big no no these days so I am looking at getting the oset 24 but i am a little worried that being 6ft 2 it will be a bit small, is there anyone else this tall who has one? Are they ok and what mods can be done to make it ok for us lanky folk? I am in the weight limit so that is not a problem and I will also be getting a better battery for it so I'm just concerned about them being too small. Cheers ?

Bending knees to compensate for a smaller than usual bike is not really a viable option for me riding all day long... I always have to put 40mm risers on a full size enduro bike for it to feel right and comfortable, I dont know how the osets compare in size to a full sized trials bike hence my question.

faussy Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 As basil says, why not an electric motion? Surely more suitable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creepytheclutchmaster Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 Try a longer/higher stem and some Easton pilgrim bars on it, that would add some reach and hight bringing your riding position slightly more upright and stretched out if your feeling restricted ,im 5,11 and ride a modded 20r and find that's OK. So a 24 should be good for your hight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sectionone Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 Pat Smage is about 6 ft. and Oliver Smith is a little taller? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulto58 Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 Go for a Electric Motion. I'm 6ft and bought a Oset 24.0R new last year, I was impressed with the power of the bike but handling over obstacles was hard work. kept it a few months and swapped it for a EM. It was definitely the right decision , 100%! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
