Women’s Bikes by Orange Mountain Bikes

The differences between the male and female forms are obvious. These clear physical differences have been the basis for the production of different sized and shaped sports clothing and equipment for generations, so it follows that mountain bikes should accommodate the differences too, why should male and female bikes be the same? These days the mountain bike designers are taking the differences into consideration. Most mountain bike manufacturers now offer women specific designs- WSD for short. For Orange mountain bikes, the ultimate WSD bike is the Diva, carefully designed by brains at Orange mountain bikes HQ to suit the female physique, giving smaller female riders all the comfort and confidence that is lost when they get on a traditional mountain bike.

No female rider will question the need to a WSD model to get the best on the trails. Bikes designed for men put smaller women into a stretched position, making the ride uncomfortable and creating difficulty in negotiating even simple trails. The various Diva models are specifically designed by Orange mountain bikes to bring back the control on the trails.

Orange mountain bikes have made the Diva available in both a hardtail model and the Five Diva, which is a full suspension model. Both feature ‘the perfect geometry for the smaller feminine physique.’ The designers at Orange mountain bikes created the Diva with the aim of centring the rider on the bike, producing good balance and a stable ride. The models feature a shorter top tube and a steeper seat tube angle, pushing the rider forward over the bike. This riding position keeps weight on the front end and provides a more confident riding position. Manoeuvrability and controlled climbs are the order of the day thanks to the steep seat angle.

These models have a very low stand over clearance, allowing them to comfortably accommodate riders of five feet and under. The beauty is in the fact that Orange Mountain bikes have not skimped on technology.
