Choosing the correct frame size is essential for comfort, efficiency and confidence on the bike. Our stock geometry is available across a carefully developed range of sizes, with size-specific tubing used to optimise stiffness, comfort and weight for riders of different sizes.

The sizing chart below is designed as an approximate guide to help identify the most appropriate frame size based on rider height and saddle height. Rider proportions, flexibility and preferred riding position can all influence the correct size, so if you're unsure, we always recommend speaking to us before ordering.

With over 20 years of bike fitting experience and an extensive database of fit data, we can help you determine the most appropriate frame size, setup and riding position.

Where possible, we recommend visiting our Sussex showroom, where you can book a test ride and experience an Enigma before making your decision. For more detailed sizing and positional advice, a professional bike fit can also be arranged with no obligation to purchase.

If visiting us isn't convenient, our network of authorised Enigma dealers can provide in-person advice and help you find the right bike and size.

Already have professional bike fit data? Send it to us and we can use your existing measurements to help determine the most appropriate frame size and setup.

For more information on our fitting process, custom geometry and how we use your measurements to determine the right setup, visit our Fitting & Frame Design page.

Our 'Ready to Ride' models are built around carefully developed stock geometry, so custom frame sizing and geometry are not available. However, there are still plenty of ways to make your Enigma uniquely yours. Choose from our range of finish upgrades, including alternative logo treatments and bespoke paint options, and personalise your bike further with your choice of components and finishing kit.

If you have something specific in mind, please get in touch. We’ll be happy to discuss the available options and provide a personalised quote.

Customer Review - Alan Coholan

"I've been riding the Escape for a month now and it's a wonderful bike. I've been enjoying every kilometre. I'm still making tweaks to the fit but the frame size is perfect so the tweaks are well within tolerances (thanks Richard). One thing that I want to mention explicitly is the quality of the work on the frame. The welds are extraordinary! The skill and attention to detail of your frame builders is clearly evident. It is something to behold. My thanks to you and all the team at Enigma".

Gravel cyclist

Go Anywhere, Adventure, Gravel & Touring Bike “The Escape is a highly adaptable and hugely capable all terrain titanium gravel bike. It’s equally at home munching mile after mile of tarmac on an ultra endurance road event or some back of beyond forestry bridleway for those seeking for a bit more solitude. Whatever you throw at the Escape it handles it with ease.”.

Customer Review - Stuart Payne

"I’m writing this the start of a month long trip across France from Spain back to the UK on my wonderful Enigma Escape. With ferry’s and trains in the mix you need something that is rugged and light enough to get up these Pyrenean foothills. Was delighted with the personal service from Enigma, calling me up to check on specs, measurements and possible part swaps. Love how the Escape is the model bike used by Restrap for all the pictures of their bike packing kit, so have a bunch of their stuff too.".
