Great review. How does it compare with Epic Evo?

[@vojtavrablik16]

Awesome and really helpful review as always! I’m considering buying the Oiz myslef, but really not sure about the sizing - I’m 180cm and usually ride size L, though I sometimes feel too stretched out on the bike. Would you say that going for the L size + opting for the shorter 60mm stem might do the trick? Thanks and keep up the good work! 👏

I am in the same position at 179cm but have not bought the bike yet. So many brands have the transition from M to L at around 180cm that makes it very difficult to choose what size to buy without a trial and even then it is easy to get wrong. It would be so beneficial if they brought out models with an intermediate M/L size. Changing stems is also more difficult with the one piece stem/bar...and expensive.

Great overview. It seems this bike has very good parity with the new Scott Spark RC. I have a 2023 Spark Team and would love to ride the 2023 Oiz back to back with it for comparison.

[@WILDAIRSPORTS]

That would be a great test to do!
