Womens Road Bikes
Womens road bikes are built upon frames that are designed to suit womens’ proportions best, with a shorter top tube and longer seat tube compared to a mens/unisex frame. Here you’ll find our Liv road bikes, and some Orbea road bikes which are unisex.

What makes it a “Womens” bike?
Womens-specific bikes are designed ground-up to suit womens’ body proportions. Compared to men of the same height, women typically have longer legs and shorter torsos. The frame therefore has a longer seat tube and shorter top tube to accomodate this difference. Womens bikes are also equipped with a womens saddle out of the factory, and the components (like handlebars and headstem) are typically a little shorter.
Do I need to get a womens bike?
Not at all! Many women still choose to ride a mens/unisex bike and find this perfectly comfortable. At Ivanhoe Cycles we keep plenty of spare components and saddles, ready to swap it out for you to something more suitable for you and your body.
