Ragley Blue Pig Geometry: Keep the 2021 Size Chart in Context

Ragley Blue Pig geometry needs a year label. The 2021 standard complete-bike chart lists four sizes with reach from 420 to 480mm and stack from 614 to 641mm. Those measurements help compare frames, but neither a size letter nor a single reach value establishes the right bicycle for a rider. Keep the chart tied to the documented model and fork reference.

Ragley Blue Pig geometry: Compare reach and stack as pairs

Small is listed at 420mm reach and 614mm stack; Medium at 440 and 623mm; Large at 460 and 632mm; and Extra-Large at 480 and 641mm. The chart gives a 74-degree actual seat-tube angle and a 63.75-degree head angle across those sizes. These are published frame references, not a height-to-size recommendation or a measured riding impression.

The same table lists 425mm chainstays across the range and wheelbases of 1170, 1194, 1219 and 1243mm. Reading multiple entries together gives a fuller picture than ranking frames by reach alone. However, this article does not turn those dimensions into a promise about stability, climbing or handling for a particular rider; those conclusions require more than an archived chart.

Keep the original cockpit visible

The standard build lists a 50mm Ragley Stubbing V2 stem with a 31.8mm clamp. Its handlebar is recorded with 25mm rise, 31.8mm clamp and widths of 780mm for Small and Medium, or 800mm for Large and Extra-Large. That is a useful original-build baseline. A used bicycle may have a changed stem or a shortened bar, so ask for actual measurements.

The Race lists a 40mm stem despite showing the same reach and stack table. Its build has a 160mm fork, but the geometry row still says 150mm. That unresolved discrepancy limits direct comparison. Do not present the Race table as a separate verified measurement of its 160mm setup, and do not use it to calculate a rider’s finished position without confirming the actual assembly.

Choose the relevant chart before a fitting discussion

The 2023 frame is a different generation with different dimensions. It is not a correction to the 2021 table that can be substituted without explanation. Confirm the frame year through reliable identification, then bring the appropriate chart and actual cockpit record to a fitting discussion. A desired bar width or a familiar size label is not enough to settle the decision.

The Ragley topic connects the model coverage, while the existing Ragley introduction gives background. For an individual bicycle, compare its documented dimensions with an appropriate fitting assessment. Keep body fit, component identity and frame condition as distinct questions rather than treating a chart match as proof that all three have been resolved.

For a comparison appointment, take the full size-column headings with the measurements. Keeping the original labels beside each number avoids accidentally combining a Small reach with a Medium stack.

FAQ

What is the Medium 2021 reach and stack?

The standard chart lists 440mm reach and 623mm stack.

Were all original handlebars 800mm wide?

No. Small and Medium list 780mm, while Large and Extra-Large list 800mm.

Can the 2023 chart be substituted for a 2021 frame?

No. Establish the generation and use the corresponding model-specific chart.
