It’s all about geometry

Bicycles are not created equally for men and women and there are some key aspects you should be familiar with. But which ones?

The most important difference between men’s and women’s bikes lies in the geometry of the frames. Women have a thinner and lighter bone structure compared to that of men. Furthermore, women are generally shorter than men, have shorter arms and legs, their sacral bone is closer to the horizontal, creating a smaller lumbosacral angle and women’s pelvis bones are a bit more separated.

Details such as these, as well as others, are reflected in the special design of bicycles for women with custom-made frames, exclusive saddles, shorter stems or handlebars and somewhat smaller improvements to make up for the difference in strength and other components adapted and designed to offer maximum comfort.
