A hybrid bike is a type of bicycle that combines the benefits of a road and mountain bike. They are versatile bikes that can be ridden on roads, trails, and even off-road conditions. Here is the hybrid bike size chart:
| Rider size(Feet) | Reider Size (cm) | Bike Size | Bike size (Inches) |
| 4`10”-5`1” | 147-155 cm | XS | 14” |
| 5`1`-5`5` | 155-165 cm | S | 15” |
| 5`5`-5`9` | 165-175 cm | M | 16” |
| 5`9`-6`0` | 175-183 cm | L | 17″ |
| 6`0`-6`3` | 183-191 cm | XL | 18″ |
| 6`1`-6`6` | 191-198 cm | XXL | 19″ |

Height
In order to find the right sized bike, you will need to know your inseam measurement. This is best done by going to a bike shop and having them size you, or by using a measuring tape. You will want to measure your inseam from your crotch to the ground.
height (in) = inseam (in) x 0.67
If your height is:
4′ 10″ – 5′ 2″ = 48 – 52cm frame
5′ 3″ – 5′ 6″ = 54 – 56cm frame
5′ 7″ – 5′ 10″ = 58 – 60cm frame
5′ 11″ plus = 62cm plus frame
Inseam
The inseam is the measurement from your crotch to the bottom of your leg. To measure your inseam, find a pair of pants that fit you well and measure from the crotch seam to the bottom of the leg.
Use this measurement to find your bike size, which is based on the length of your inseam.
- For a road bike, you want your inseam to be about 2 inches (5 cm) longer than the frame size.
- For a mountain bike, you want your inseam to be about 3 inches (7.5 cm) longer than the frame size.
- For a hybrid bike, you want your inseam to be about 1 inch (2.5 cm) longer than the frame size.
Bike Wheel Size
There are two types of bike wheels – inch and metric. Metric bike wheels are measured in millimeters and Inch bike wheels are measured in inches. To know what size bike you need, you will need to know your tire size. You can find your tire size on the sidewall of your tire. It will look something like this – 700c x 23mm.
Diameter
Just as adult cyclists come in different heights, so too do bicycles. The right size bike will be more comfortable, more efficient and more fun to ride. This is especially true for hybrids, which are some of the most popular bikes on the market today.
The first step in finding the perfect hybrid bike is to know your wheel size. Bikes typically come in one of two wheel sizes: 700c or 26-inch. The number refers to the diameter of the wheel in millimeters; the letter c stands for “common,” which is just another way of saying “standard.”
700c wheels are by far the most common size on hybrids and road bikes. They’re a good choice for riders with an average height (approximately 5’4” to 6’2”). If you’re on the taller side, you may be more comfortable on a bike with larger wheels; if you’re shorter, smaller wheels may be a better fit.
26-inch wheels are most often found on mountain bikes and older-style cruisers. They may also be an option on some hybrids designed for riders who want a more aggressive riding position, such as those who plan to do a lot of mountain biking or cyclocross racing. If you have trouble finding a hybrid with 26-inch wheels, look for a “29er” mountain bike; these have even larger wheels (29 inches in diameter) and can make great hybrid bikes.
Width
The width of your bike’s wheels greatly affects how your bike handles. The wider the wheel, the more stable your bike will be. But, wider also means more rolling resistance and a rougher ride.
Narrow wheels are lighter and faster, but they’re not as stable as wider wheels. They’re also more susceptible to punctures.
Most hybrid bikes have wheels with a width of 700c (about 28 inches).
Bike Seatpost Size
Most bike seatposts are sized by their diameter, which is usually either 27.2mm, 30.9mm, or 31.6mm. The width of your bike’s seatpost will also play a role in how comfortable your ride is. A wider seatpost will usually provide more comfort, while a narrower seatpost will be lighter and easier to maneuver.
Diameter
The bike seatpost size is important because it needs to fit into the frame of the bike. The most common sizes are 26.2mm, 27.2mm, and 30.9mm, but there are other sizes as well. Most seatposts are made of aluminum or steel, but some carbon fiber and titanium seatposts are also available.
The diameter of the seatpost is measure at the point where it inserts into the frame. To measure this, you will need a vernier caliper or a ruler that is marked in millimeters. If you do not have either of these tools, you can use a tape measure, but it will be less accurate.
Once you have measured the diameter of the seatpost, you will need to choose a seatpost that is the same size or slightly larger. If you choose a seatpost that is too small, it may not be able to support your weight and could break. If you choose a seatpost that is too large, it may not fit into the frame of your bike.
Most modern bikes have a seatpost that is between 26.2mm and 27.2mm in diameter, but there are some that use a different size. If you are unsure of what size seatpost you need, you can always consult with a bike shop or the manufacturer of your bike.
Bike Handlebar Size
For many bike riders, choosing the right size bike is important. But for some, choosing the right sized bike handlebars is even more important. Depending on the type of bike you ride, your handlebar width will vary. This hybrid bike size chart will help you choose the right width for your bike.
Width
The handlebar width you need depends on your shoulder width. A wider bar gives you more control, while a narrower bar is lighter and easier to maneuver. Most handlebars have a width markings. If your shoulder width is
- Less than 37 cm, you need a handlebar that is less than 38 cm wide.
- Between 37 and 40 cm, you need a handlebar that is between 38 and 40 cm wide.
- Between 40 and 42 cm, you need a handlebar that is between 40 and 42 cm wide.
- Greater than 42 cm, you need a handlebar that is greater than 42 cm wide.
Rise
Rise is the vertical distance from the centerline of the stem to the top of the handlebars. A tall rise will give you a more upright riding position, while a shorter rise will allow you to get lower on the bike for more aerodynamic positioning.
Bike Crank Length
The crank is the part of the bike that attaches the pedals to the frame. The size of the crank will determine the efficiency of your pedaling and how comfortable your riding experience is. It is important to get the right size crank for your bike. This section will help you choose the right size crank for your hybrid bike.
Length
The most important consideration when sizing a crank is rider height. Other important factors include the type of riding, leg length, and foot size.
Mountain bike riders usually size their cranks based on the terrain they will most often be riding. On cross-country rides, shorter cranks provide better pedaling efficiency while longer cranks are more suited for downhill riding where Trail and All-Mountain bikes are ridden at slow speeds and pedaling efficiency is less important. Enduro and downhill riders will usually opt for the longest possible crank length to provide ample ground clearance over obstacles.
Recommendations for crank length based on rider height:
- Rider heights of 5’2” and under – 165 mm
- Rider heights of 5’3” to 5’6” – 170 mm
- Rider heights of 5’7″ to 5’9″ – 175 mm
- Rider heights of 5’10” to 6’0″ – 180 mm
- Rider heights of 6’1″ and up – 185 mm
Conclusion
Use this bike size chart to help you choose the right hybrid bike. If you are still unsure, consult with a professional at your local bike shop. With the right bike, you’ll be on your way to enjoying all the benefits that come with biking.
