FAQ

Do women’s bikes always need a shorter frame or lower top tube?

Not necessarily because different brands have different measurements. What counts is how it feels, from the handlebar height, reach, and the saddle. Take it for a test ride to know if it fits you!

How do I know if a bike is comfortable for longer rides?

Check the handlebar height, frame shape, and tyre width. A more upright riding position, wider tyres, or a suspension seatpost can make long rides easier on your back, wrists, and knees.

Are lightweight materials always better for women’s bikes?

Not always. Lighter bikes can be easier to ride, but they aren’t always as strong or stable. For that reason, steel or aluminium frames are worth considering.
