How to choose your VTC size?
4 sizes available:
Size S from 1.50 m to 1.65 m.
Size M from 1.66 m to 1.77 m.
Size L from 1.78 m to 1.89 m.
Size XL from 1.90 m to 2.01 m.
If you're on the borderline between 2 sizes:
Choose the smaller size for greater manoeuvrability and comfort (more upright back).
Choose the larger size for a more reclined position (more suitable for speed).
