Women’s Bikes By Orange Mountain Bikes

There’s really no denying the differences between men and women. 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 they aren’t. The majority of mountain bike brands now produce WSD bikes, tailored to the needs of the female form. 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. Models aimed at male riders put women in a stretched position, leading to an uncomfortable ride and a lack of control producing difficulty on even the simplest terrain. Orange mountain bikes designed the Diva models to reinstate the control and confidence on the trails.

The Diva is available in a hardtail and as a WSD variation on Orange mountain bikes’ bestseller the full suspension Five. Both models feature ‘the perfect geometry for the smaller feminine physique. The designers behind Orange mountain bikes made the Diva with the aim of placing the rider in a central position on the bike for better control and a more stable ride. The models feature a shorter top tube and a steeper seat tube angle, pushing the rider forward over the bike. This keeps more weight on the front end and gives a more aggressive riding position. Manoeuvrability and controlled climbs are the order of the day thanks to the steep seat angle.

Riders of under 5 feet tall can easily be accommodated on these bikes, thanks to their low stand over clearance. The great thing about these models is that the WSD additions have not detracted from the high tech approach we have come to expect from Orange mountain bikes.
