In recent years, the image of cycling has changed - women are conquering the world's roads, trails and mountain passes with passion and power.
Women on road bikes rely on performance, design and precision - which is exactly what corratec offers. We combine high-end technology with sporty aspirations to develop racing bikes that are perfectly tailored to the female and male anatomy and needs.
Although the frame itself remains unisex, specifically adapted components ensure an individual riding experience. These include a shorter stem length, a slacker steering angle, narrower handlebars and saddles designed specifically for women. This not only makes you feel more comfortable on the bike - you also use your power more efficiently and have more control on the road.
Women tend to have shorter torsos and longer legs. Factors such as body height, stride length and personal riding position determine which road bike really suits you as a woman. An optimal fit is important to avoid tension and achieve better power transfer and more fun on long distances.
Find out below which criteria you need to pay attention to when looking for a women's road bike.
The cockpit is the heart of your bike - and it has to fit. Women often have narrower shoulders and smaller hands than men. That's why you should pay particular attention to handlebar width, handlebar shape and stem length. corratec dealers can advise you individually here. Handlebars with a narrower width and negative stem angle are ideal for sportier female riders. This allows you to achieve the perfect riding position, always have the brake levers under control and remain aerodynamic on the road.
The right saddle choice is crucial for your well-being on longer tours. Women have a different pelvic shape - corratec responds to this with specially developed women's saddles. These have anatomical cut-outs, a wider contact surface and special padded zones to prevent pressure points. Whether upright or sporty - we have the right saddle for every riding position.
The gears are the heart of every performance. corratec offers you high-quality components from Shimano and SRAM - from robust entry-level solutions to high-end electronics. For ambitious female racers, we recommend electronic groupsets such as the SRAM RED eTap AXS or the Shimano Dura Ace Di2 - light, precise and race-ready. If you are looking for a solid price-performance ratio, go for the Shimano RD-R7100.
Whether you're riding everyday routes or competing in races, the choice of wheels influences comfort, speed and safety. Lightweight carbon wheels bring speed and agility, while aluminum rims are more robust and less expensive. For sporty riders with a performance goal, we offer wheels with an aerodynamic profile - ideal for speed and stability.
Modern women's racing bikes from corratec are equipped with powerful disc brakes - for precise control in any weather. They are low-maintenance, reliable and offer more safety, especially on descents or in wet conditions. A must for all those who rely on performance.
