I test rode an XL on Tuesday at Forest of Dean with Joe from Starling (it was one of the stainless steel front ends which are beautiful - more piccys on my PB profile).
I also carpark tested a L which felt similar to my L Gen 1 Krampus - so slightly short but not uncomfortably so. The XL felt good and had plenty of room to move. I think the XL suited my "plow" technique more than the L would.
I'm 95kg and 6'1" and it felt fine flex wise.
Such a confidence inspiring bike. It scared me how capable it was - i've not ridden a DH bike since 26" wheels were the only choice and felt similar on the way down and climbed well.
