What Makes a Woman's Specific Road Bike Different?

When it comes to buying a road bike, it is important to make sure that you are buying your own bike instead of having someone else pick it out for you. This is especially true for women, as what may work wonderful for someone of the male gender may not work as well for you. In fact, most of the bikes you see on the showroom floor are designed for the proportions of the average male. Since women are built much differently it is beneficial to make sure that there are bikes for the women gender.

In most cases, women have shorter torsos and arms and longer legs then a male that is of the same height. The feet and hands of a woman are generally on the smaller side and the shoulders of a female are narrower. Along with narrower shoulders, women also have wider hips. These are the reasons many women find that they cannot ride comfortable on a bike that is made to fit a man.

But by making sure that the woman's bike has shorter stems, shorter cranks, smaller handlebars, and a wider saddle. There are even women's road bikes out there that have a set tube angle that is steeper and a taller head tube, which makes riding a lot easier. These adjustments, while they may seem silly and unnecessary to some people, have a lot of reasoning behind them.

The wider saddle for the woman's road bike will ensure that there is no tissue damage by not having a sit that fully accommodates the sit bones of a woman. The brakes and shifters are adjusted to fit smaller hands so that it is easier for the woman to control the bike. And the shorter bars that are easier to reach help to make sure that there is not too much strain placed on the arms and back of the woman in the attempt to ride the road bike.

Maybe though, you still do not feel as though these generic women's bikes are going to work for you. If you have a little bit of money and time to spend then you can always ordered a custom made women's designed road bike. The bike will be designed to fit around you, your particular riding style, and your personal tastes. This means that you will really be able to become one with the bike and you will be able to ride for much longer periods of time without becoming strained.

So now that you are aware of the differences between a woman's specific road bike and a regular designed bike that was made with the male gender in mind, why would you go with anything else? You have not only your posture to consider but also your muscles as well. Make sure that you are protecting your body and making sure that you will be able to enjoy all of your bike rides from now on. Either pick up a regular women's designed road bike or design your own and begin to truly enjoy riding.
