Specialized: Fine-Tuned For Females!

Specialized cares about the needs of female cyclists! Women who ride often have different requirements than their male counterparts as a result of differences in both physiology and outlook. Specialized has developed the most comprehensive and advanced women's equipment and bikes ever. Learn more here, then come in to see firsthand what makes their gear great.

Specialized's sleek rides address the key differences between men and women cyclists: Proportion: the bikes are engineered to accommodate the average woman's longer legs, shorter torso and smaller hands and feet. Anatomy: the sensitive spots that meet the saddle are considered in both seat and frame designs. Power-to-weight ratio: women tend to have less power output than men of the same weight. This drives the need for light overall frame weight and lower gearing on the drivetrain.
