Introduction
Women's cycling is booming. Brands are increasingly offering bikes specifically designed for women, with adapted geometries and components. Here's the 2025 buying guide.
Women-specific bike vs. unisex bike
"Women's" bikes generally have:
- A shorter top tube (often shorter arms)
- Narrower handlebars
- A wider saddle (wider sit bones)
- Smaller brake levers
However, many women prefer unisex bikes in smaller sizes. The key is to find the right geometry for your body type.
