V-rex XL boom length

bentbiker said:

would someone be kind enough to give me a measurement of their XL boom, from the center point of
the head tube to the center of the point of the bottom bracket? I'm trying to determine the XL
length compared to the
14.75" I get when I measure an '02 rocket's boom length. I'm assuming the XL is approx. 2" longer
than a standard.

I have a 2001 XL V-Rex. It's hard to be exact with the measurement since the head tube is at an
angle to the top tube. But I get about 39 cm (that is, about 15.4 inches).

It's never been clear to me just where an XL V-Rex is bigger than a standard frame. Are they just
longer in the headtube to bottom bracket???

I believe so. That gives us long-leggedy beasties more room for our knees under the handlebars.
It also means the center of gravity is where it should be, instead of having the seat shoved all
the way back.

On my regular V-rex 2001 the length from the center head tube to center bottom bracket is 34 cm (13
