EVE Lady <strong>Bikes</strong><br />

An optimal framework<br />

for female bikers<br />

Women differ from men in many respects:<br />

Their cognition and thinking as well as, consequentially,<br />

their actions and reasoning do follow<br />

comparatively different patterns. And not only<br />

since yesterday, we have been knowing that also<br />

the female anatomy has its very own structure<br />

– although the latter seems to be basically identical<br />

to the male <strong>version</strong> except for all obvious and<br />

immediately perceptible differences.<br />

But one essential aspect is shared by men and<br />

women in an equal measure: The desire to have<br />

fun! And when “she” or “he” rides a bike for this<br />

purpose at the latest, it could be assumed that<br />

both genders follow an identical way to an identical<br />

destination. But far from it! It is a great mistake<br />

to think that female and male cyclists are<br />

able to enjoy the same fun on the same bikes:<br />

An anatomically different pelvic area requires a<br />

different seat contact to the bike while narrower<br />

shoulders call for a correspondingly narrower<br />

cockpit – in the best case also equipped with<br />

brake and shifting levers optimally accessible<br />

also by shorter fingers. All those and many other<br />

aspects are taken into account by the CEN-<br />

TURION EVE series. Because in our opinion, a<br />

genuine “lady line” does not only represent female-orientated<br />

decoration and colour concepts<br />

but especially “framework requirements” which<br />

are literally and consequently tailored to ladyspecific<br />

demands. Besides the suspension elements<br />

which are specifically adapted to a lower<br />

pilot weight, especially the EVE MTB geometry is<br />

a real eye-catcher: At identical frame height and<br />

corresponding rearstay dimensions, a shorter<br />

top tube is complemented by a comparatively<br />

higher cockpit position. This combination does<br />

result in a still very sportive but also slightly more<br />

upright und thus more relaxed seating position.<br />

In addition, the top tube bend and the BB lowering<br />

by 5 mm provide safe ground contact for<br />

female feet at every stop. Very down-to-earth,<br />

isn’t it?<br />

Our EVE MTBs also feature tyres with lower rolling<br />

resistance, together with specifically adapted<br />

grips and levers as well as shorter saddles with<br />

broader rear sections. Maximum comfort + maximum<br />

fun = 100 % <strong>CENTURION</strong>!<br />
