BMC Trailfox sizing

Hi all,

I currently own a (large) 575 built light with Mavrk Forks, XT etc. Have been getting into
more XC and endurance racing so need a more suitable bike that will be faster.

Looking at a BMC Trailfox 02. Did a test on 19" and it felt quite different to 575.

Upside: Better acceleration, quicker turning, slightly lighter than 575.

Downside: A bit less stable due to geometry, short top tube and long ch stays meant
a very fwd feeling position.

I am just under 6 ft with about 33" inseam - should I go the 21" and use a layback
seatpost and short stem??

Any trailfox owners with advice?

Thanks,

TCD
