Source-backed geometry used in this table

For now this pilot only covers stack and reach. We still do not have standover, top tube, wheelbase, or angle data in a verified record here, so the page stops short of making a stronger fit call.

Sizing Comparison

V4 485 is 539/383 mm stack/reach; new F5 53 is 542.4/385.6 mm. The F5 example is 3.4 mm taller and 2.6 mm longer at the head tube.

Verdict

The example V4 485 and F5 53 are close in stack and reach despite very different labels. Use that as a reason to compare measurements, not a rule that these labels always match. Exact cockpit dimensions and your existing position should settle the shortlist.
