Women's anatomy and physiology is different from men's, so unisex products will not always be suitable for both sexes, even though manufacturers may say they are. Some details can help ladies feel more comfortable on the bike and make the rides longer and more enjoyable.
S-shaped frame and 27" wheels. For women and shorter riders who want to enjoy mountain biking to the full, S-shaped frames with a curved top tube are available. This frame geometry makes starting and stopping easier and reduces the risk of injury, while the 27" wheel will provide optimum handling and grip.
Anatomical seat or gel-filled seat. The seat is slightly wider, shorter and better adapted to the female body than a traditional unisex seat. The gel filling ensures that the seat surface adapts to body movements and reduces friction by up to 20% (manufacturer's information)
Handlebar grips with wide support surface. A large proportion of modern bicycles have a body position that puts increased stress on the arms and shoulders. Handlebar grips with a wide support surface and special shock-absorbing material are useful to reduce impact.
Angle-adjustable outrigger. A handlebar with adjustable handlebar angle is useful for optimum body position. This feature is particularly useful for casual and city bikes, which are usually ridden slowly and leisurely.
Gloves with padding. Gloves with special padding or gel filling will help absorb unexpected handlebar shocks and reduce their impact on the hands and wrists. Gel gloves are useful when cycling without a front shock absorber.
Anti-friction cream. A good quality cream will reduce friction between skin and clothing and act as a disinfectant, reducing the risk of inflammation caused by sweat and hot weather.
Cycling shorts. Soft and elastic material and special padding (pampers) will ensure maximum comfort for many hours, while the wide compression waistband will ensure even pressure distribution.
