Heckler sizing…. Md or Lg?

[GravityDT]

Howdy All, bit of a pickle here. I’m 5’9.5” w/32” inseam. Traditionally I’ve ridden LGs, have an opportunity to pick up a ‘24 Heckler XO RSV Sz MD from an out of state friend at a killer deal. No local dealers so I can’t throw a leg over a MD to verify sizing and I’m a little gun-shy of going to a MD. Per Santa Cruz’ size guide I’m right between sizes.

Anyone in my size running a MD? Thoughts??

Thx!

I'm 5'10", with 32" inseam. I picked a LG based on their recommendation. My wife bought a MD, she is 5'6". The thing about the Large, I had to re-run the cable for the dropper to get it short enough. I now have it all the way down, with a new cable, and it is barely low enough. Riding my wife's MD, I find it a bit more playful, and kind of wish I had gone that route. Worst case is, you could lengthen the stem if you feel it is too close.
