The Best Bikes for Tall People
At Zinn Cycles, we’re dedicated to building great bikes for tall riders. In fact, we’ve been doing it since 1982. Our founder, Lennard Zinn, has always struggled with finding the right bike for his height. At 6’6”, he knows exactly what it’s like to ride a bike that’s just too small. If you’re a big and tall cycling enthusiast, give up that tiny bike and order something that’s just your size! Learn more about how we build bikes for tall people at Zinn Cycles today.
Building Bikes for Tall Riders the Right Way
There are tons of frame builders and bike manufacturers who say they design and build bikes for tall people, but really, all they do is just scale up the frame. We know it takes more than that to create a comfortable, smooth, efficient ride. When manufacturers scale up the geometry of a bike, they get elongated tubes that are missing the rigidity and strength of a standard frame. The metal fatigues faster, shimmies at high speeds, and loses so much in power transfer.
We’ve completely rethought and redesigned the proportions of what a bike for tall people should be. With a stiff, compact frame designed by Lennard himself, our bikes deliver maximum performance. We’ve tested our designs on the biggest, tallest riders out there to guarantee streamlined functionality and powerful capability.
