This is to follow up on this unresolved question from 2013:
Unclear whether that's 7 levels of beast rider or level 7 total for a character whose build includes at least one level of the beast rider class.
So to repeat, would a Druid 6/Cavalier (beast rider) 1 be able to enlarge - to use the example given in the Beast Rider archetype - their bear? Or would a character need 7 levels of Beast Rider to do that?
I don't see what is unclear. You need 7 levels in Beast Rider.
"In addition, a 7th-level or higher Medium beast rider can select any creature whose natural size is Large or Huge, provided that creature is normally available as a Medium-sized animal companion at 7th level (like a bear)."
Even if it didn't call out beast rider, the standing rule is that any class ability that talks about level means levels in that class unless it specifies character level.
