VENTURA FEMME. WOMEN’S ROADIES.
The fit is everything, when it comes to bicycles. Especially for road bikes where the slightest inefficiency is a glaring
handicap. And while we’re all for equality of the sexes, we also know women differ physiologically.
A properly designed woman’s bike accounts for the typical woman’s proportionately longer legs and shorter torso,
with frame tubing tuned for lighter-weight physiques (think SST!). That means the overall cockpit length needs to
be shorter than the typical man’s bike, while keeping an eye on pedal/wheel clearance. So we’ve shortened top
tubes and stems, decreased head angles and increased fork rakes, and even added a new XS 44cm frame size. It also
takes size-specific components like narrower handlebars, shorter reach brake levers and wider saddles to ensure
that the ride is efficient and comfortable.
While butted aluminum can possess excellent
strength and a high stiffness-to-weight ratio,
That’s why our Ventura Femme series bikes have grown a quiet, very happy following. Whether you opt for the
dedicated enthusiast’s Race Femme, or the more casual cyclist’s Sport Femme, you get what every rider deserves
and needs: a bike that fits, and is made to perform for you.
It’s a fact: spinning, or pedaling a slightly
lower gear at a higher cadence, is more
it can be a bit harsh riding and back-side
efficient than mashing a higher gear with a
numbing when you spend several hours in the
saddle on longer rides. The lightweight carbon
monostay on our Ventura Race Femme
naturally damps road vibration, smoothing

yields at least 3 lower, high-cadence climbing
gears, while sacrificing only 1 really big gear.
Since most riders rarely spin out their big 53 x
11 gear, we think this is a spec decision your
legs will appreciate.
