But it is more of a trail bike for really big, tall and heavy guys so it should be great for you. Just make sure you have good standover clearance if you plan to ride real trails. |

The Hoss is designed for 'Clydesdales' (riders that weigh more than 200lbs (~95kg)). The Hoss is a strong bike, but it's also pretty heavy. Depending on it's intended use, you may want to look for something a little lighter. |

He's an "exteme sport" rider though... we know that riders of this type will break anything/everything on too-light bikes. I say it's better to start heavy, and go lighter as you continue. He's ~175 pounds, so not too far off the mark here, either. -- Phil, Squid-in-Training |
