What bike next? Find myself in a similiar sizing situation...
Drive slow, homie.
Hmm just throwing this out there but my stepdad is selling his 2015 Rocky instinct 950 bc XXL for 2200canadian ish( it's all pretty much rebuilt so he justified it to me, I can find out more) so possibly 1500 American and maybe could include shipping, if this was an interest I could get pics
I also 6-3, and the XXL Sentinel (515mm reach) might be a tiny bit big/long. I felt it was at the end of last fall, but this spring if feels spot on again, as it did when it was new. Super tight uphill and down hill switchbacks I defiantly can tell how long the bike is, but it’s been manageable. I’ve been riding this spring in Naha, CA and have been happy with the length.
I’m thinking about a new bike, like to go back to a 160-180mm travel bike, and I may look for something in the 495-505mm reach range. Seems to be a sweet spot for me for maneuverability I’m tight spots and when going fast. Might help, might not, just a thought from another tall human.
Not trying to talk you into a Sentinel, but if you do, put that Float X2 on it. My bike gained traction up hill and down with the bigger shock. 10000% worth the extra weight.
Maybe? Will know in a few days and post it up

I know it is sold, but curious if this was on the updated platform with the wider rear triangle?
Someone once told me that I ski like a Scandinavian angel.
