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 />
