The fit is everything, when it comes to bicycles. Especially for road bikes where the slightest inefficiency is a glaring handicap.

A properly designed woman’s bike accounts for the typical woman’s proportionately longer legs and shorter torso, with frame tubing tuned for lighter-weight physiques (think SST!). That means the overall cockpit length needs to be shorter than the typical man’s bike, while keeping an eye on pedal/wheel clearance. So we’ve shortened top tubes and stems, decreased head angles and increased fork rakes, and even added a new XS 44cm frame size. It also takes size-specific components like narrower handlebars, shorter reach brake levers and wider saddles to ensure that the ride is efficient and comfortable.
