Orange Mountain Bikes for Women

Nobody can deny the glaring differences between the male and female forms. The physical differences between the sexes have long dictated the need for different sized and shaped clothing and sporting equipment: so why should mountain bikes be any different? These days mountain bike designers are noting the differences. Most mountain bike manufacturers now offer women specific designs- WSD for short. 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.
The average female rider will have no questions over the necessity of WSD models. 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. The various Diva models are specifically designed by Orange mountain bikes to bring back the control on the trails.
Orange mountain bikes have made the Diva available in both a hardtail model and the Five Diva, which is a full suspension model. Both feature ‘the perfect geometry for the smaller feminine physique.’ Orange mountain bikes’ designers claim the Diva places the rider in a more central position, giving her better balance for a more stable ride. A shorter top tube and steeper seat tube angle push the rider forward over the bike. This means her weight is kept on the front end of the bike, giving her a more confident riding position. The bikes provide manoeuvrability and controlled climbs.
These bikes can accommodate riders under 5 feet tall and are perfectly tailored to the female rider. 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.
