Do women need different bikes? Ask at AvantiPlus Blenheim about the women specific Avanti and Scott bikes, clothing, saddles, helmets. As when it comes to cycling, on the whole women are different to men - especially physically! On average women have shorter torsos, shorter arms, and longer legs than a similar sized man. Shoulders tend to be narrower, hips tend to be wider and hands and feet tend to be smaller. And, yes, the sit bones are wider too!
These differences mean bikes for women need to be designed and made in a specific way to ensure good comfort, fit and performance - for all kinds of female riders. Check this out if you are heading to Wellington. keen to tackle a tri check this out |
