Do women need a different bicycle? Or just one that fits?
At Cervélo, our defining principle is to engineer bicycles with function-driven designs for everyone. In contrast to the myriad of theories put forth by others, Cervélo’s is clear and uncomplicated: If the rider is shorter, the frame reach should be shorter – not just the top tube measurement. Likewise, if the rider is taller, the frame reach should be longer.
By ensuring the seat and handlebars are in the right place for you, Cervélo bicycles make it easy to maintain a comfortable riding position. Because we understand the more comfortable you are, the more enjoyable the ride. At Cervélo, we don’t just claim they fit, we engineer them to fit.
“I don’t think there’s really such a thing as a women’s specific bike…It’s not like we have different proportions to men – I think that’s a bit of a misconception. There are women with long legs and short legs, and men with long legs and short legs…Take Cervélo frames: the small frame is small enough that the shortest person can ride them.”
