The big difference between women’s and men’s bikes is the fit: Bike makers have a lot of fit data that goes into frame geometry. Women, on average, are shorter than men, so women’s bike models generally have shorter stack heights. On average, women also have shorter torso lengths, so women’s bike models tend to have shorter reach lengths. Not all men’s and women’s bikes are constructed differently. However, there are many, and this structural difference affects the top tube of the frame. The top tube is part of the bike that connects the handlebars to the saddle. If you ride a bike, it’s the barbell between your legs.
When it’s not slowing down, a women’s bike usually still has a shorter top tube. Females typically have shorter torsos and longer legs, while males have longer torsos. For men and women of the same height, women’s bikes may be shorter in length but have a taller seat.
Branded vehicles are generally produced with standard fixed sizes, but the same model is usually produced with an interval of 2 inches. For example, the same car only has 16, 18, and 20 inches or some cars only have 15, 17, and 19 inches. frame. Just like when buying clothes, they are divided into S, M, and L, and manufacturers with different values of risers have different standards, so this value can only be used as a reference and a rough estimate.
So the following will give a few basic judgment criteria:
Choose a road bike based on the seat tube size (most road bikes will be marked with frame size XS/S/M/L):
Height (cm)———Standpipe Size (cm)
160-172———46.5(XS)
173-178———48(S)
179-185————50(M)
185-190———52(L)
Choose your road bike by top tube size:
49(+-0.5cm)———150-160cm height;
50(+-0.5cm)———155-165cm height;
51(+-0.5cm)———160-170cm height;
52(+-0.5cm)———165-175cm height;
53(+-0.5cm)———170-180cm height;
54(+-0.5cm)———175-185cm height;
The above is the generally recommended value. For those with short bodies and long legs, try not to exceed the recommended value. The size of road bikes can be small or large. Everyone should remember that the frame is the soul of a bicycle. Be sure to choose the one that suits you, and don’t force it, Friends who are less than 160 generally recommend BMX road bikes.
Many cheaper brands have unisex saddles that are meant to fit both men’s and women’s bike types. This might work for a short commute down the street, but it could get uncomfortable for longer rides. More serious bikes for women have wider seats to fit the pelvis and sitting bones comfortably. Men’s bikes have long, narrow seats. High-quality seats for both genders often have a space between the two sides to relieve perineum pressure.
The handlebars usually differ on men’s and women’s road bikes. Shoulder width is a common bodily difference between the two genders, and this is directly reflected in the handlebars.
The handlebars on men’s bikes tend to be wider and usually measure out to be between 42 and 44 centimeters wide. The handlebars on women’s bikes are between 38 and 40 centimeters to accommodate narrower shoulders.
