The WSD difference


Women's Specific Design (WSD) bikes are engineered to fit your body, putting you into a more natural riding position by balancing your weight more evenly between your hips and hands. The result is extreme comfort and control, better balance and optimized power efficiency.

WSD Fit: A Geometry Lesson
1 WSD STEERING PACKAGE
A WSD steering package with Bontrager FIT components provides improved control and confidence-inspiring handling for safer rides.
2 SHORTER TOP TUBE
A shorter top tube evenly redistributes weight between hips and hands to eliminate lower back pain and reduce neck and shoulder stress.
3 SEAT TUBE ANGLE
A steeper seat tube balances weight over pedals to maximize efficiency and create exceptionally powerful pedal strokes.


WSD Comfort: Contact Points



1 LESS PAIN
Narrower handlebars keep hands in a more natural position for greater control and less shoulder pain.
2 MORE COMFORT
A woman’s specific saddle with key anatomical features provides optimized comfort and support.
3 LESS FATIGUE
Shorter-reach levers and smaller-diameter grips are sized to fit a woman’s smaller hands.
4 MORE POWER
Shorter crank arms improve leverage for a more efficient pedal stroke.
