Why A Women's Bike?

A women's bike is the answer for most women. The ergonomics of Women's Specific Design (WSD) are designed to "just fit", with many advantages:

Stamina

WSD centers your weight over the bike, reducing the pressure on your hands while shorter reach break levers alleviate hand fatigue.

Endurance

WSD has a shorter top tube and narrower handlebars alleviating sore shoulders and stiff neck muscles.

Comfort

WSD and saddles allow you to sit comfortably on the saddle reducing the pressure on the pubic bone and soft tissue. This allows your legs to relax and increases your power output.

Power

Addressing a women's pelvic structure and riding position, the WSD geometry provides optimal power and comfort by shortening the top tube and offering a slightly less aggressive riding position.
