Get an XL.

Mtb sizing is all over the shop but it will piss you off no end if it’s too short and too low.

That's it in a nutshell.

@alxwtn Just had a look at the geometry, of that and my bike. The Vitus isn't as long and the seat tube is a bit steeper, if you've got a long trunk you might find the XL a little small.

My trunk is about 64cm/25inches...not sure if that is long or not tbh. What sort of reach should I be looking for in a mtb?
The XL Virus has a reach of 484, MBR.co.uk size guide recommends if you're 6′ 2″ to 6′ 6″ then you should aim for a reach of 470mm to 510mm. Does that seem about right?
