bike trek womens

More and more women are hitting the dirt and discovering the fun and freedom of the trail. Here, we’ll discuss what makes a mountain bike women’s specific, and highlight some of our favorite women who shred.

What is a women’s mountain bike?

In the past, Trek’s Women’s Specific Design gave female riders a better chance at finding a bike that would fit right from the start. Now, many of the design elements we first created for women’s mountain bikes, like lower standover height and smaller sizes, are used on bikes for all genders, because these features benefit all riders. Instead of having a select few models targeted toward women, we’ve expanded the size and color choices for all our mountain bikes. Which means all genders have more options than ever. Plus, in our effort to ensure every rider gets the best fit possible, we offer a Bontrager women’s mountain bike saddle swap on every carbon bike purchase at no extra charge. And we still offer our entry-level bikes with women's specific touchpoints so newer cyclists can ride in comfort without having to swap their saddle.

Trek Lush 29er Womens

You love nature, adventure, tackling singletrack with friends, seeking new challenges. So does Lush. It's a perfect match.

USER REVIEWS

I've had this bike for nearly two years, this was my first full suspension bike. This baby has been through so much, I've raced and trained for XC with it for the past two years. I've taken some serious crashes with this bike, and my first instinct has always been to check the bike. My Lush never let me down, the frame is still going strong as well as all of the components. I have not had to have a single repair. The 29" wheel rolls over anything and everything while giving me leverage on climbs. This is a fun bike and I highly recommend.

Weaknesses would have to be none.

good components for the price point, Women Specific Design simply WORKS for a petite woman handling suspension tuned to a woman's weight

slooooow on the flat... but that's not why you bought a full suspension, is it?!

I picked up my Lush S 2013 in Bangkok... which is flat as a pancake. I got a great deal on it (and I already think that it is a great value for the components) because there is really no use for a full suspension bike when you never go down a hill! the S was the only version offered in the store, so I didn't try the SL or regular Lush, but this price point and component level was pretty much what I was in the market for, anyway. I was all excited to try it out, despite the flatness of Bangkok, so I took it out with a local group who rides the trails around the rice paddies outside of town, which turned out to be almost as hard packed as the tarmac roads we took to get to them. I found myself at the tail end of the group the whole time- all of whom were riding hard tails with smooth, skinny tires - which was a bit embarrassing, really. But then I took it home, to Kathmandu... Suddenly I went from the back of the pack to charging up hills, passing the best of our group, and flying down singletrack like I had wings. I felt like Superwoman! The big knobbly tires, which slowed me down on the flat hardpack in Thailand, grip the mud and layered dust of Kathmandu like glue. The plush suspension takes the drops and rocks and ruts like they weren't even there, the derailleurs shift the chain along the 3X10 rings like silk, and the slack overdrive headset steers like a dream. The real difference with this bike, for me, is the geometry. I am 5 foot nothing, with relatively long legs and short arms- kind of a typical woman, really! I ride the 14.5 Lush S, which puts me much closer to the handlebars than my hard tail (also a Trek, but not WSD). The different angle makes my pedal stroke a lot more efficient too, which is how I find myself powering up hills about twice as fast as before, despite the rear suspension. This is also the first bike I've ever owned where I actually have the recommended stand over height! The suspension is also well designed for a lighter woman, making even the front fork significantly more cushy than my HT, while never being in danger of bottoming out- giving me a lot more control, not just a smoother ride. The one thing I'm still getting used to is the totally different center of gravity. While it makes me feel more in control and confident on the downhill, I feel much higher off the ground than on my HT, and therefore a bit tippy. This is particularly true when I'm headed up a short very steep bit of trail- I often feel like i'm going to tip over. This is more a technique issue than anything else, and I'll get used to it soon, but I thought I'd mention it in case other people feel the same way. The steering is also much more sensitive than on my HT, so I had a bit of trouble at first on particularly skinny "half tracks" like those between the Nepali rice paddies (the Thai paddies have tractor roads between them), I felt like I was in danger of accidentally over steering and falling off the track. Again, this is just something to get used to. Finally, it is a bit shallow, but I do have to say I love the color, and I've gotten a TON of complements on it. The powder blue and navy is just striking, and the gold accents are a nice touch! If you want an idea of what kind of riding I do in Kathmandu, look up "colors of Kathmandu" on YouTube.

not carbon! a good value. many frame improvements from the Trek Fuel WSD. handles well with excellent suspension properties. 2012 Lush SL has decent color. decent weight.

oem crankset on the 2012 Lush SL. not compatible with water bottle cages. 2012 color options are hideous (except for Lush SL which is decent) and will not match well with most prospective upgrades that are dominated with red, gold, etc unfortunately, color coordination is a big thing among most ladies

i have researched and tested the Trek Lush Carbon and the Trek Lush SL. I was intending to splurge on my girlfriend who has shown great improvement in mountainbiking. i was also intending to either settle with SLX or XT or maybe XTR For comparison among women's bikes, i have also researched the Specialized Safire Pro, Giant Trance XW, Norco Sight Forma 2 and Forma 3 and the Pivot Mach 5.7 Carbon. The Trek Lush rides very well. Suspension has minimal bob when pedaling but descends very well. Its ABP system works well and allows suspension to remain active even during panic braking. The price value is one of the best and second only to the Norco Sight Forma. Compared to last years model (its predecessor) 2011 Trek Fuel 8 WSD, the Lush has improved with lower standover height and a better riding experience. the Lush has less travel with 120mm compared to the Norco Sight Forma at 140mm and the PC Mach 5.7 carbon at 140/150mm. However my girlfriend is upgrading from a 80-100 fork hardtail so i think the 140 is overkill (at least for now). the difference in travel was therefore inconsequential. The price was great and i really wanted to settle with the Lush. Unfortunately, there were two things that were simply unacceptable in this bike: 1. color. the colors of their bikes are far from attractive and clashes with most upgrades that i wanted to add. for example, i intended to add a better wheelset which had red stripes (as most mtb components have)... with so many other colors the bike starts to look like a rainbow or clown in bad way. although color is not a big issue to me, it was an issue with my sister and my girlfriend and since i was already spending that much money, i wanted a good looking bike. The outgoing 2011 Trek EX 8 WSD (was on sale) looked great but was not the right size. 2. you cannot attach a water bottle cage on it. the bike decision basically came to this. as an avid mountain biker, we go 3-4x a week but each ride is less than 2.5 hours long. most of the female bikers including my sis and girlfriend rarely ride more than 2 hours and would rather use water bottles for non-epic length bike rides. they don't want to wear a sweaty camelback that needs to be washed each week and requires extensive preparation beyond filling a clean water bottle that they could wash in the dishwasher. in the end, no matter how i tried to convince myself about the Lush, it simply didn't cut it. by lowering the standover height (which was already sufficiently low in the previous Fuel EX WSD) they made the frame triangle too small to allow a water bottle cage and thus didn't even try to put bolts/receivers on the downtube. if this was a freeride or downhill bike, i would understand the lack of water bottle cage bolts/receivers but this is a trail bike! nearly went with the Specialized Safire Pro but it looks hideous and the suspension design was not inspiring. i ended up settling with the Pivot Cycles 5.7 Carbon (the aluminum did not allow water bottle cages either) and built it with Shimano XT at competitivecyclist.com. it is a sweet bike although i ended up spending nearly 2x more than i intended to when i was looking at the Trek Lush

smooth ride. easy too handle, corners great,and climbs like crazy! pretty paint job. solid, light,traction is top notch..fits my body correctly and 27 inch stand over.pretty girly looking paint job seems to cleean easy. appears to reject mud.good price was out the door.

none...... just be sure if you move brake levers in for one finger,that the rear brake cable might need slack re dispursed. this is because handle bars are not wide.24" (white grips are no problem they windex back to pure white anytime...)

my hard tail rattled too much so my husband bought me a lush. superb workman ship on this ladie bike. paint job is drk blackish blue with glitter that reflects near dark purple with a hint of gold.lots of laddie ish emblembs and a pink elephant on the back of the frame by the crank and shock. pretty bike. too pretty for a boy to ride. smooth ride and easy to control. i hate to climb but this bike climbs great! love the traction. Im not a hot dog like my husband but with the lush I can at least follow him in style and comfort. we see a lot of fuji and giant and specialized but the TREKS are way better and worth the money. my husband says the LUSH cant mop the floor with any other xc bike out there. I think he is right. I am really a begginner but yesterday we went to palos illinois and peddaled 3 ravines, one day and gravity cavity. ok so i walked 2 of the ravines but the 3rd I did and the Lush handled cornering at one day and I dont even know how to corner yet!!!then we walked up gravity cavity and my husband did the jump with his remedy 7, and then I climbed out of gravity cavity from first jump to top on my LUSH. last but not least the 27 inch stand over is perfect because i am only 5'2". all Lush frame sizes have 27 " standover give a 1/4" or so.I recomend this bike to all wifes because it helps to have a top machine. you dont got to be any good to pedal a LUSH but if you are good you could compete with this bike.

Specialized fuse comp 29, what to consider, then and now.

Few bike categories have seen bigger shifts in the past dozen years than women’s bikes. When first introduced, the “shrink it and pink it” mentality reigned supreme, and “women’s bikes” often simply meant smaller frames with stereotypical paint jobs and a lower level of components than their unisex counterparts. Then women-specific geometry took over. Bike companies started cranking out frames with shorter top tubes to better accommodate the average female body’s tendency toward longer legs and shorter torsos.

While some companies like Liv have stuck to that philosophy, others like Trek , Specialized , and Santa Cruz instead favor using the same frame for their men’s and women’s bikes and adjusting some parts—primarily touch points like the bar, grips, and saddle—for the intended gender. Most women’s mountain bikes also come with a fork and shock tuned for lighter riders. And city bikes are often offered as step-over and step-through models, with the latter aimed at women.

Know Your Fit

For city and mountain bikes, which generally run from XS or S to M or L, it’s easy to estimate the size needed based on your height. Road bike size can get a bit trickier. If you don’t know your bike size, getting measured at a bike shop—or even getting a professional fitter to assess you—can make an enormous difference in helping you choose a road bike that’s comfortable for you. Just remember, you can get a good fit on a women’s frame or a unisex one; it just depends on your body and riding preferences.

With so many different options these days, it’s a great time to be a woman on a bike. In addition to choosing from bike style and fit, you also have frame material : carbon, aluminum, and steel. All are strong options, though carbon is generally the lightest and most expensive, and steel is generally the heaviest and most durable.

You also want to choose between rim brakes and disc brakes , which cost a little more but offer better stopping power. Discs are pretty standard on mountain bikes and are becoming more common on road bikes that cost more than $1,000. Rim brakes are still popular on city bikes, but discs are gaining popularity there as well, because they offer more control and consistent stopping power in wet conditions.

How We Tested

Every bike on this list has been ridden and loved by women on our staff. We research the market, survey user reviews, speak with product managers and engineers, and use our own experience riding these bikes to determine the best options. Our team of experienced test editors spent many hours and miles using these bikes for their intended purpose—from road races and trail rides to gravel adventures, commutes, and beach cruises. Then we evaluated them on performance, price, comfort, handling, value, fun, and—yes—looks (because the mere sight of your bike should get you excited, too).

While other brands on this list have shifted to gender-neutral geometry, Liv is one of the only ones still manufacturing women’s-specific sizing. Instead of strapping a cushier saddle and a pink colorway to deem a bike feminine, Liv produces in-house stems, handlebars, saddles, and seat posts to accommodate the female body better.

The Avail AR 3 is a gravel bike that can handle dirt and trails, and smooth pavement. It’s got sturdy aluminum Giant S-R2 Disc wheels, a D-shaped seatpost that dampens bumps, a carbon fork for extra absorption, a Shimano Sora drivetrain, and internal cables that make it stylish and sleek. Although its Tektro disc brakes feel a bit gummy, this ride does well on bumpy roads, steep climbs, and uneven terrain. This is an excellent option for commuters doing light off-roading, and anyone looking for a bike packing workhorse.

This class-3 e-bike will spin you up to 28mph through pedal assist or you can use the throttle and hit a max speed of 20 miles per hour. Those speeds sound fast for newer riders, but the bike has strong brakes and a balanced ride. The battery is housed cleanly in the downtube and provides 672 watt hours of power. The controls are easy to use, the dip in the frame’s top tuber makes getting on and off a snap, and the price is hard to beat for everything this e-bike fantastic city and commuting bike delivers.

It’s hard to beat a cruiser’s simple, functional, stylish appeal. Made for boardwalks or rolling around town like it’s is a beach day in July, this one is full of summertime vibes.

The Electra Cruiser has high wide bars for a relaxed riding position, and Electra’s Flat Foot technology, which places the seat further behind the pedals, so you can ride with it lower, making it easy to keep you feet on the ground when you stop. A single-coaster brake helps control your speed and a single gear means no fussing with shifts or keeping your derailleurs in tune—but also means that this one is best enjoyed on flat roads and sandy boardwalks.

The $1,000 price level is where e-bikes can get sketchy: Lithium-ion battery technology is still pricey, so corners must be cut elsewhere to keep costs down. At $1,199, the Aventon Pace 350.2 is one such bike, but our test revealed it’s not too cheap to be quality. The Class 2 e-bike tops out at 20 mph, whether you get there by pedal assist or a throttle. There’s a 7-speed Shimano Tourney drivetrain and five levels of e-assist, giving you various pedaling options. You don’t get lights or fenders, but the Pace 350.2 feels viable for daily commuting.

Co-op Cycle’s ADV line of adventure bikes has impressed us for years, whether we’ve tested their lower-cost paved-path models or ones equipped for more ambitious rides like this one. The 2.2 is made for gravel and dirt roads but handles itself well on paved paths and city streets, too. You get Shimano’s excellent 1x10 GRX drivetrain, 40mm tires, a dropper seatpost, and a carbon fork to keep weight low and take some buzz out of bad roads. Plus, there are plenty of mounts for racks, bags, and other adventure gear should your trips extend into the next zip code.

Rad Power Bikes has become one of the most popular e-bike brands based on its great pricing, reliable customer service, and, more recently, having products to buy. One of the brand’s latest offerings, the RadCity 5 Plus, comes in a traditional frame or this step-through model. Both are excellent options for spinning around the city, running errands, cruising on bike paths, or getting from point A to point B as blissfully as possible.

This model comes with a hub-mounted 750-watt motor, which saves cost over mid-drive options, hydraulic brakes, puncture-resistant tires, and a rear rack with a 59.5-pound capacity—enough for hauling groceries or a kid.

In the world of e-commuter bikes, the Adventure Neo 4 hits a happy medium between a traditional townie and a larger, more cumbersome cargo model. With an excellent Bosch motor that assists you up to 20 miles per hour and wide, cushy tires, the Adventure is ideal for cruising along bumpy streets and bike paths. The alloy frame keeps weight modest, and the step-through frame makes it easy for anyone to hop on and start spinning. There are Shimano hydraulic disc brakes to slow you safely, and the 60-plus-mile range means you can ride for hours before recharging.

Cervélo, the sponsor of one of the most dominant women's teams in professional cycling , Jumbo-Visma, makes one of the best road bikes available. The R5 Force eTap AXS is a carbon-framed beast with carbon wheels to match. It's built with highly component components that make it light for climbs and stable on descents. Its Full SRAM Force eTap AXS 12-speed drivetrain gives it power, and according to our tester Tara Seplavy, the longer you ride it, the more comfortable it feels.

Our tester liked this aluminum version of the RLT bike even more than the acclaimed steel model. The RLT 9 is burly enough (and has the gearing) to put up with whatever challenge you could sling into its path. The bike is stiff, agile, and responsive no matter how much weight you pack. With what Niner calls “fire road geometry”—longer chainstays, a lowered bottom bracket, and a slacker head-tube angle—the RLT 9 was comfortable enough to ride on gravel all day. Rack and fork mounts make multiple touring and commuting configurations possible, and the tire clearance of up to 42mm allows you to take it as far off the grid as you want. A carbon fork, disc brakes, and dual thru axles complete the package.

This hardtail 29er has a semi-slack setup and a 130mm RockShox Recon RL fork, making it a capable and maneuverable little ride. Adding to its ability to take on rowdier trails is the smooth-operating TranzX dropper post and the well-knobbed 2.6-inch tires. The grippy, wide tires are not quite plus-size (the frame accommodates 27.5+ tires and wheels, too), but they deliver handfuls of traction on rock, snow, and slick clay. On climbs, the combination of the steep seat angle and longer reach help keep the rear wheel driving you forward and the front wheel tracking where you want it to go.

For the price, this bike has a huge range of capabilities and features, including hydraulic disc brakes, a 12-speed SRAM SX Eagle 1x drivetrain, and a 750mm-wide handlebar (780mm on sizes medium and up), which slows steering for a more stable ride. Whether you’re new to mountain biking or a vet, the fun-loving Fuse can turn every ride into a party.

Cannondale Cannondale Quick CX 1 Bike

We love the versatility of this lightweight bike from Cannondale. It’s got a little suspension, excellent brakes, cushy tires with lots of traction in sketchy conditions, and great parts from Shimano. The 1x12 drivetrain eliminates the finicky front derailleur and gives you 12 gears to shift through—enough to keep up on fast bike path sprints or to spin up the town’s tallest hill. It’s made for fun, but with all the features you need to be a practical city or town bike capable of paved and dirt adventures.

Quincy CC GRX

What started as a dedicated ’cross race bike has turned into a ’cross, gravel, and bikepacking beast that is one of the liveliest and most versatile “gravel bikes” we’ve ridden. On the spectrum between ’cross and gravel geometry (the former prizes agility and the latter tends to prize stability), the Quincy remains ’cross-biased—Santa Cruz wanted this to be a bike you could race in between your gravel adventures. It rides like a road bike on pavement and a gravel bike on dirt, and when it hits mellow singletrack, it transforms into a mini mountain bike.

With its endless grip on long, fast, swooping fire-road descents and over gravel sections, the Quincy will encourage you to dive into turns faster, brake less, and test the traction of the 2.0-inch tires in corners. But its light weight and shorter wheelbase keep it agile enough to dodge or hop over obstacles and washouts.

Juliana sells two versions of the bike—this one and another with SRAM’s Force AXS electronic group and 650b wheels. Both use frames with the company’s premium CC carbon and accept 650b or 700c wheels. Read Full Review

How to choose a hybrid bike

Capable of tackling tarmac or heading off piste, the best women's hybrid bikes take their influence from both road and off road bikes. They are a great option for anyone who is looking for two wheeled adventures, but who doesn't want to be committed to just one style of riding.

Choosing a women’s specific bike is not for every female rider, and cycling brands have even flip-flopped over the years in their manufacturing of them. Our guide includes genuine hand picked options that we think make ideal women's specific hybrid bikes, as well as lots of helpful hints and tips on how to find your perfect match.

Just because a bike isn’t labelled as a 'women’s bike’ doesn’t mean it can’t be ridden by a woman, we've even got a whole page on Is ‘women’s specific geometry’ still relevant? However, there are certainly benefits to be gained from purchasing a women’s specific bike. It's likely to have features like a women's specific saddle , shorter cranks or narrower handlebars for more comfortable riding.

As well as this, certain models will adjust the geometry of the bike so that it is more suited to the shape of the average woman. That includes, for instance, shortening the top tube, as traditionally bikes have been manufactured with long top tubes to accommodate men’s proportionally longer arms compared to their legs.

Specialized Sirrus 2.0 Step-Through hybrid bike

A wide gear range, mounts for fenders and a rack alongside clearance for wide tires make this a versatile hybrid indeed.

Best women's hybrid bikes 2024: Our picks

Specialized Sirrus 2.0 Step-Thru hybrid bike

1. Specialized Sirrus 2.0 Step-Through

Specifications, reasons to buy, reasons to avoid.

Over the years the Sirrus name has become synonymous with sporty yet practical hybrids - and the current 2.0 Step-Thru is just that.

It’s built around a lightweight aluminium frameset that’s uses Specialized's Fitness Geometry. It's been updated to include ‘modern’ standards such as flat-mount disc brakes and internal cable routing but still includes the all-important mounts for fenders and a rear rack. The combination makes for a bike that’s equally at home on the daily commute as it is on weekend fitness rides; its versatility is increased further by clearance for 42mm tires, although the bike comes equipped with 32s.

The gear range, using a 2x Shimano drivechain, is sensible. By matching a 46/30 chainset with an 8-speed 11-32t cassette, you’ll have a better than 1:1 gear for the steeper stuff while still having higher gear for flatter and faster roads - although you’ll find you’ll have to navigate some larger jumps between these gears.

Trek District 4 Equipped Stagger hybrid bike

2. Trek District 4 Equipped Stagger

If you’re looking for a commuter-friendly step-through hybrid you can use year round, Trek’s District 4 Equipped Stagger might be hard to beat.

Yes it’s not cheap but as the name suggests it’s a bells and whistles affair, meaning you won’t have to fork out for additional accessories. As standard it comes equipped not only with fenders, a rear rack and a kickstand but also a Herrmans front light, powered by the Shimano Nexus dynamo front hub.

And the bike’s practicality doesn’t stop there. It combines a Shimano Alfine internal 8-speed hub with a Gates CDX belt drive system that should add up to greater reliability and far less maintenance, especially when riding through winter. Add to this the hydraulic disc brakes and puncture resistant tires and you have a four-season ready machine. The potential downside? All this gear means the bike isn’t the lightest around.

3. Boardman HYB 8.8 women’s hybrid bike

Our expert review:

Coming in nearly 1 kilogram lighter than the previous Boardman HYB 8.6 model, the HYB 8.8 boasts lighter and better components to complement its reliable alloy frame and carbon forks. It was one of our Editor's Choice picks in 2021.

The 8.8 model is fitted with Shimano Deore 1 x 10 gears to ensure quick, smooth and reliable gear shifting. With one chainring at the front and a 11-42 tooth cassette at the rear, the drivetrain is lighter with less to go wrong or to maintain. The wide range cassette means there is still ample gearing for most situations.

Boardman have tailored this ride to the needs of females by kitting the bike out with narrower bars, shorter stems and a women’s specific saddle.

Mounts for mudguards and a pannier rack are also included in this model that delivers great versatility. Given that it's one of the lighter bikes here, and combined with the 10-speed drivechain, it's as equally well-suited to faster paced fitness rides as it is the daily commute.

4. Carrera Subway 1 women's hybrid bike

For just over £300, this is a value for money option that will give even nervous riders confidence with its predictable handling and the stopping power of its mechanical disc brakes.

The Carrera Subway 1 comes with a subtle frame geometry tweak—a dropped top tube—for the women’s specific build.

With Kenda tyres designed with an extra Kevlar layer for puncture proofness, mudguard and pannier mounts, the Subway 1 is certainly versatile. Complementing this, its 2x8 gear set up is robust and has a broad range. But it is also not as comfortable as other options, so we’d not recommend it if you’re going on long adventures.

5. Cannondale Treadwell Remixte 2

If your riding is varied but leans towards the more relaxed variety, then Cannondale’s Treadwell Mixte could be a great fit. It’s a bike designed for everyday use, taking the practicality of a regular hybrid and blending it with the comfort and looks of a cruiser. And the result is pretty interesting.

The Remixte frame with its step-through design makes it a good match for city riding, where you might be hopping on and off the bike throughout the day - and it's got mounts for a rack and fenders too. It’s matched to 27.5” wheels shod in 47mm wide tires, which should translate to plenty of comfort. The stem and bars are noteworthy, too. The former has a mount that works with any SP-Connect compatible smartphone case, turning the stem into a handy dashboard. The latter take their inspiration from BMX riser bars; here it should aid a more upright and comfortable position.

As for the gearing and the brakes you get a wide range, easy-to-use 1x 9-speed Microshift drivechain and Tektro hydraulic brakes. Together they should make the bike pretty versatile across a variety of terrain.

6. Liv Alight 2 Disc

Liv is dedicated solely to making bikes for women. It’s Alight range is aimed at commuters and fitness riders, who want an agile yet comfortable and practical hybrid.

The Alight 2 appears to have all those bases covered. The aluminium frameset has integrated mounts for fenders, a rear rack, and a kickstand. Combine this with the hydraulic brakes it’s ready for the rigors of the daily commute.

It’s also equipped with a D-fuse seatpost that has built in compliance, shock-absorbing grips and a pressure-relieving saddle. The updated fork also means there’s clearance for 42mm tires should you wish to spec something a little more rugged in tread or voluminous for added comfort.

The Shimano 2x8 gearing, like several bikes featured in this guide, offers plenty of range for a variety of riding, but does mean you’ll experience some larger jumps between gears.

7. Cannondale Quick Women's 4 Hybrid Bike

Staying true to its name, the Quick range are Cannondale ’s machines for speed and confidence when commuting and leisure riding.

Sitting in the middle is the Quick 4, which is equipped with hydraulic disc brakes and a 9 speed drivetrain.

Fitted with a chromoly fork, this bike is designed to withstand the demands of city riding by reducing road vibrations. While the alloy frame has Cannondale’s OutFront Steering Geometry to provide added stability for sweeping your way across town.

The Quick 4, like all other Quick models, features bright 360° reflective components as an important safety measure. This model has also flat handlebars for a comfortable and stable upright riding position, which is useful when keeping an eye on traffic.

8. Pinnacle Lithium 3 women’s hybrid bike

The Lithium 3 can handle any terrain you dare to ride with ease, as a do it all hybrid. Pinnacle, the in-house brand at Evans Cycles, has combined a rigid 29er mountain bike with 40c tyres for ample rolling ability on tarmac. This bike provides controllability over rough terrain and speed down the streets.

With wide clearance and space for 2.2” MTB tyres, the Lithium is built with versatility in mind and can be easily adapted to explore local trails, fields and forests.

Coming in at 12.5kg, the Lithium’s alloy frame and steel fork doesn’t make for the lightest of bikes. But, equipped with Shimano Acera triple chainset (44-32-22) and a 11-32 tooth cassette, you shouldn’t struggle up the hills. The only noteworthy issue with weight comes when trying to carry the bike.

At first glance, the sheer range and variety of hybrid bikes can seem overwhelming but they do have many features in common.

Key features to expect in a hybrid bike are listed below. In the women's specific models, you'll expect a women's saddle, and narrower handlebars as well as a spread of sizes more suited to shorter riders.

Mounting points for panniers and mudguards

Carrying weight on the bike is more pleasant than on your back as it takes the weight off your shoulders and lowers your centre of gravity. Using panniers also saves getting all sweaty from where the backpack touches your skin. However do bear in mind, backpacks are more versatile and can prove useful if your journey involves sections which are not done on the bike.

Mudguards are important in helping to keep you drier when it’s raining as you won’t be flicking additional water onto yourself. But significantly, and often overlooked, they also keep you dry when it’s not raining and there’s still water on the roads.

You will find points for mounting the panniers and mudguards by the front and rear axles, at the top of the seat stays and at the crown of the fork.

Clearance for wider tyres for comfort

As your only direct contact point with the ground, tyre choice has a large effect on the comfort of your ride and the terrain you can ride on. Wider tyres provide more grip and don’t sink into soft surfaces—like mud and gravel—to the same extent as narrower tyres. In having a greater volume of air over narrower tyres, they also are better able to absorb bumps and potholes and provide greater comfort.

A good starting point is to look for a tyre that is at least 35mm wide, although you can get tyres that are up to 60mm wide on some machines, although they tend to be better for off-road use and may slow you down on tarmac due to higher rolling resistance.

Upright position for comfort and better view in and around traffic

A more upright position puts less pressure on your hands, as your weight is transferred to your sit bones instead. It can be more comfortable to be more upright if you have a backpack, as when you are bent over with a backpack it can be quite unstable and flop from side to side.

Another benefit of a more upright position is that it provides you with a better view of the traffic, helping you to safely navigate around the cars on your commute.

Flat handlebars for control, comfort and price point

With flat handlebars the shifting and braking are straightforward, which is especially useful if you are not used to a road bike set up.

There is the added benefit that the brakes and shifters are significantly cheaper for flat handlebars than the integrated brakes and shifters of road bikes. This keeps down the initial cost of these bikes and saves you money on any future repairs.

Wide range of gears

Gears are the way that your pedal strokes are converted into efficient forward motion. Given that there is a relatively narrow range of cadences that are comfortable to ride in (70-100rpm), but the speeds that we commonly travel at can range from 10kph to 60kph, it’s important to have a large range of gears so that we can ride at our preferred cadence, whatever the speed.

But absolute range is not the only consideration. Small and even gaps between the gears help us to fine-tune the gear we are riding in and prevent us from being stuck between two gears, one too big and one too small.

A triple crankset with an 8 speed cassette, for example, provides an affordable way of getting enough absolute range whilst still having acceptable jumps between the gears. While a double with a wide range 10 speed cassette is pricier, it is also lighter weight and provides a similar range with similar jumps to the 3x8.

If you are only riding on the flat and not carrying heavier loads, you will be able to do with a smaller range of gears, which will simplify riding and maintenance and save a little weight.

Disc brakes for controlled and reliable braking

Disc brakes provide greater power than rims brakes, and the price of this increase in braking performance is dropping all the time—so we are seeing far more hybrid bikes at all price points coming with disc brakes. Where disc brakes particularly excel is stopping in the wet. This is an important aspect for a hybrid that is being used for commuting as it is likely going to be needed in all weather conditions.

Hydraulic disc brakes also provide better modulation and have a significantly lighter lever action, so they are far easier to use than other braking mechanisms and they're a sealed system so there should be less maintenance needed.

Rugged tyres for fewer punctures

The last thing you want to be doing when commuting or on a leisurely cycle is to be having to change an inner tube. Although the more rugged tyres don’t roll as fast and are a little heavier, these are small trade-offs for the inconvenience of a puncture.

Many hybrid bikes are now coming with tubeless ready wheels and tyres, which help to lower the risk of being stopped by a puncture.

High spoke count for robust wheels

If you want to carry heavy loads, a high spoke count will help with that as less tension is put through each of the spokes, leading to a more robust, durable wheel.

Trek Women’s Bikes

For over 15 years, trek have been continually developing the women’s specific design of bikes to provide the best riding experience for women across all disciplines..

By studying the female body, build and performance, Trek have used their wealth of knowledge and available resources to produce an impressive fleet of stylish, functional and reliable bikes for women.

What makes Trek Bikes stand out from the crowd with their Women Specific Design is the overwhelming amount of research behind each model. Trek developers studied the female body, the way it’s adapted to bear children , and how much more supple and flexible the pelvis and lower back is, compared to that of a man.

Trek’s research led them to make changes to the female set-up which they believe will make a bike more comfortable for a woman to ride. The geometry of each model is adjusted to provide the optimum weight distribution and centre of gravity placement for female riders.

“It’s more about fitting the bike to the rider, and not the other way round.”

However, they’re also very clear in explaining that bike fit is individual , and women should feel free to choose between unisex and women’s models based on their own body and riding. More recently, they’ve started making unisex frames in a range of ‘fits’ – some of which are closer to the traditional women’s bike geometry. This approach means there are bikes available for women that find they fit more comfortably on men’s bikes, and men that might feel better on women’s bikes. Effectively they’ve cut gender out of the equation and removed the stigma attached to ‘men’s bikes’ and ‘women’s bikes’.

Explaining the move, Trek’s PR guru Jez Loftus explains the brand Trek have “moved away from specific geometries and more into designing bikes for their intended purpose”, adding “it’s more about fitting the bike to the rider, and not the other way round.”

For the road, Trek have three models which are designed to fit the majority of women with a female specific frame.

Bikes within the Trek Lexa range are ideal for entry level riders with prices starting from £575. They’re designed to be a great introduction to road cycling, with a carbon front fork to help reduce weight and dampen the buzz, and a slightly more bombproof aluminum chassis. The Lexa is comfortable and smooth, but features mud guard mounts and pannier racks – everything you need for a great commuter.

Previous TWC Editor Heather Irvine reviewed the Trek Lexa S, saying : “The women’s specific geometry, light aluminium frame, carbon forks and streamlined appearance make this bike feel special to ride. I honestly do not think you can go wrong with this one.”

The Trek Émonda is a lightweight performance bike which is used by professional athletes of the Matrix Fitness team, and the Drops Amateur cycling team. With prices starting from £1100, the Émonda is equipped with higher end components and a lighter set-up.

The most popular women’s road bike from Trek is the Slique . With prices starting at £1700, it’s the top model for performance, smoothness and endurance. This bike features the famous Trek ‘IsoSpeed Decoupler’, which isolates the seat tube from the rest of the bike, allowing for a smoother ride as road buzz is minimised.

Reviewing the Ultegra version, TWC Editor Michelle said : “The ride is super smooth – as smooth as a well brewed flat white, an Aero Bubbly or a magic carpet. Road vibrations barely reached me when I took this bike for a spin.”

Trek’s WSD mountain bike range is equally impressive as the road models.

The Trek Skye is the perfect entry level mountain bike. This hardtail frame is equipped with 75mm of travel, and the comfortable women’s geometry makes for the perfect all-day mountain companion. With prices starting from $385, it’s ideal for those looking to test the trails and get a little muddy.

For a more gnarly ride, the Trek Lush is a great entry level, and intermediate full suspension bike. With 120mm of trail on 650b wheels, the Lush is a great all-mountain and all-adventure trail bike.

There’s a lot of features of the Trek Lush in terms of the geometry and suspension technology that make this a very accessible and confident bike for the newer mountain bike woman.

With prices starting from £1500, it’s the most popular Trek MTB model for women, and it’s perfect for those wanting to take on a little more mountain.

The top end model WSD mountain bike is the esteemed Trek Remedy , which gained a female specific skew for 2016 . This all mountain and enduro bike is the same model used by 3 time World Enduro Champion, Tracy Moseley. With 140mm travel, the WSD Remedy has 650b wheels to tackle any obstacle it’s faced with. Starting from £2400, the Remedy is a great trail blazing ride.

Each one of Trek’s WSD bikes are available in a number of build options to suit every riders style and budget. A lot of care and consideration has been taken with each model to ensure it meets the needs and wants of every woman. The extensive research into the female form, and riding performance have enabled Trek to produce comfortable bikes for women, across all disciplines.

9 Best Women’s Hybrid Bikes & How To Choose!

A hybrid bike (like the name would imply) is a mix between a road bike and a mountain bike. It has skinny, fast-rolling tires like a road bike, but more relaxed geometry and a flat bar like a mountain bike.

A hybrid bike a good option for women who are looking for a “fitness bike”, who haven’t ridden a bike in years, or for ladies who are uncomfortable on the more aggressive geometry of a traditional road bike.

In this article, we share with you our favorite women’s hybrid bikes (also known as fitness bikes), as well as tips on what to look for when shopping for a hybrid.

Our top picks, roll bicycles a:1 adventure bike.

We like everything about the Roll Bicycles A:1 Adventure Bike . Smaller sizes come with a tapered top-tube (as seen above) while larger frames have a more traditional frame design.

This bike can go anywhere. The tires are a bit knobbier than other bikes on this list and are perfect for cruising gravel roads or rail trails.

We dig small touches such as the bar-end grips, the 1×10 drivetrain, and internal cable routing. The weight is also noteworthy: at 23 pounds, this is one of the lightest bikes on our list.

Liv Alight 3

Liv makes some of the best women’s-specific bikes out there. The Liv Alight 3 is no exception.

It has a low standover which is nice if you want to wear a skirt, or if you have limited mobility. There are also integrated dropouts to easily add racks or fenders should you care to do so.

The most obvious attraction to the Liv Alight is the pricetag. It is one of the cheapest bikes on our list.

Price (MSRP): $560

Diamondback Haanjo 1

The Diamondback Haanjo 1 can do a little bit of everything, from riding long distances on the road to cruising gravel canal paths. The tires are slick enough to roll fast on pavement but wide enough to handle a bit of of the rough stuff.

The women’s-specific offering comes in smaller sizes, with the XS fitting women as short as 5’1″.

The geometry is more aggressive than many of the other bikes on this list, but more relaxed than a traditional road bike which makes it a good pick for women who want to ride longer distances on the road but are uncomfortable on a road bike.

Price (MSRP): $785

Marin Kentfield ST 1

The Marin Kentfield ST 1 is a great fitness bike at an entry-level price. It’s not the fanciest bike around, but it will certainly get you going.

Specialized Sirrus 3.0

The Specialized Sirrus is one of the best-selling hybrid bikes around. It comes in several different models depending on your preferences and budget. We think the Specialized Sirrius 3.0 hist the sweet spot for most ladies.

The bike used to come in a women’s-specific version but it doesn’t anymore. There is the option however, to choose a lower step-thru frame.

The mid-level components are smooth and provide good rider experience. We especially appreciate the hydraulic disc brakes that outperform the mechanical brakes found on many hybrid bikes.

Comparison Chart: Women’s Hybrid Bikes

Things to consider when choosing a hybrid bike.

Not sure how to choose the best hybrid bike for YOU? Read on to help you make an informed decision.

Frame Size And Shape

You’ll notice many of the bikes on this list have a “step-thru” style frame. This is where the top-tube (which is the bar on the top of the frame triangle) is sloped downward rather than straight across.

A step-thru frame (left) has a down-swept top-tube compared to a more traditional frame (right).

This design is good for smaller women as it provides a lower standover height. It’s also nice for ladies who have limited mobility, want to wear a skirt, or simply feel more comfortable with this design.

That said, don’t feel limited to a step-thru frame especially if you are taller or more athletic. We’ve also included several bikes on this list that have a more traditional frame geometry.

The bikes on this list have brakes that fall into one of three categories: v-brake, mechanical disc brakes, or hydraulic disc brakes.

V-brakes (or rim brakes) are the more old-fashioned, traditional style brakes you might be used to. They are easy to maintain and cheap. Unfortunately, they don’t offer as much stopping power as disc brakes, especially in wet weather.

Mechanical disc brakes are a good choice for most women. They offer more stopping power than v-brakes, are generally pretty affordable, and don’t require much maintenance.

Hydraulic disc brakes are the most powerful, are easier to pull if you have weak hands, and provide plenty of modulation. These brakes provide the best performance. That said, they also increase the price of the bike and require more maintenance.

All of the bikes on this list have gears. While a lot of women get hung up on trying to compare the number of speeds a bike has, we’d advise you not to worry about this. A handful of gears is really all you need.

While all these bikes have multiple gears on the rear wheel (this is called a cassette), only some have multiple gears upfront at the crank arm. Again, we wouldn’t worry about this too much, although we personally prefer a single gear at the crank. (This design is called a 1x or “one by”).

Why? It keeps things simple. You only have to worry about one shifter rather than two, and you don’t have to worry about “cross-chaining.”

A single front chainring (left) is simpler than a double or triple front chainring (right).

Read: A Guide to Bicycle Gears

You should pay attention to the type of shifter the bicycle has. Some bikes will have a grip shifter, while others have trigger shifters.

In general, we prefer trigger shifters as they make cleaner shifts. That said, grip shifters can be more intuitive, so if that thought of shifting stresses you out, go with a grip shifter instead.

Another thing to be aware of is that there are different component levels. We’re not going to go into too much detail here on that, but just be aware that the cheaper the bike you buy, the cheaper the drivetrain components are going to be. If you want a really smooth-working drivetrain, you might want to spend a bit more.

Women’s Specific vs Unisex Bike

Some of the bikes on this list are specifically designed for women, while others are unisex bikes that happen to work well for women.

Women’s-specific bikes are a good choice for smaller ladies as they generally come in smaller frame sizes and offer a step-thru frame (as discussed above). They also offer components like smaller grips and women’s’-specific saddles (seats).

If you are taller, a unisex bike will work just fine, though you may still choose to upgrade to a women’s-specific saddle later on.

Wheel Size and Tires

Most hybrid bikes have 700c wheels , the same as a road bike. That said, a few hybrid bikes have 26-inch wheels, more typically found on mountain bikes.

The type of tire also matters. If you plan on riding primarily on pavement, look for a slick tire without a lot of tread. These will roll faster on the road. If, on the other hand, you want to hit up gravel roads or mellow dirt trails, look for a bike that has knobbier, higher volume tires.

When you are shopping, you might notice that some hybrid bikes come with a suspension fork. While compiling our list of the best women’s hybrid bikes, we intentionally tried to avoid bikes with suspension.

Why? A suspension fork really isn’t needed on a hybrid bike and it adds weight. Hybrid bikes are best suited for pavement and mellow gravel and dirt trails; conditions that just don’t require a suspension fork. If you want to ride more challenging trails, consider getting a real mountain bike instead.

Don’t forget to pay attention to weight when buying a hybrid bike. The lighter a bike is, the faster and more enjoyable your ride will be. Anything over 25 pounds is definitely going to slow you down and feel heavy if you are climbing hills .

While we haven’t included any e-bikes (bicycles with an electric motor to help assist you pedal), they can be a great option especially if you havent biked in years.

Electric bikes are significantly more expensive but help open the world of cycling to women who may need the extra boost. If you’re interested in electric bikes, check out our list of the Best Women’s Electric Bikes .

Thanks so much! This was so helpful! I’m 66 years old and haven’t biked in years. I want to get back into it to help with fitness and just have fun! I’m just starting to look and expect to have to order since local inventory is nonexistent. I figure if I order in the fall, I may have something by next spring. I’d be grateful for any tips you could send me!

I just wanted to let you know that my wife and I fully endorse your review of the Roll A1 hybrid bike. We ordered online in August and the bike was delivered a few weeks later despite the pandemic, The bike was very nice and exactly as you describe it. We unfortunately had to return the bike after a few weeks due to knee issues my wife had (nothing to do with the bike or with Roll). As this happened Roll showed first class support. They gave us more than their standard 50 day return policy so that my wife could take time to make her final decision. Their customer service is superb. We highly recommend them.

Love hearing this positive feedback. Thanks for sharing!

This info was very helpful. As a person who likes to bike, but isn’t a Biker with a capital “b”, this was written at the very level I need!

Hello. Great article as I am in the market for a new bike. Would you be able to tell me the difference between the Liv Alight 3 and the Liv Comfort Alight 3 and whether you would equally recommend them both?? I road a Liv Alight rental last year on a 30+ mile ride and loved it, but they could not tell me exactly which one. Thank you.

I have limited $$$ I am just under 5ft tall (short) I have cruddy knees so more gears are important to me Looking for a hybrid bike that fits the bill… any suggestions?

Verywell Fit / Sabrina Jiang

Cycling can be an excellent form of exercise. Research has found that cycling while commuting to work reduces the risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease. It's also a great way to increase your heart rate while getting plenty of fresh air.

If you're ready to get started—or enjoy having an indoor cycling bike and want to get a bicycle for the outdoors—there are plenty of bikes to choose from. Before purchasing a bike, it's important to choose one that's equipped to handle the type of cycling you'd like to do. Are you looking for a budget-friendly cruiser or a mountain bike that can handle more rugged terrain? Maybe you're searching for an e-bike to shorten your commute.

We researched dozens of bikes for women and evaluated them based on material, comfort, durability on different terrains, and price. A personal trainer from our Review Board reviewed this information to ensure its accuracy, how to choose the correct model and men's versus women's bikes.

Here are our top picks for casual cyclists looking for a smooth ride.

Assembly may be complicated

Royce Union's All-Terrain Mountain Bike is easy to handle and control, making it our top pick for riders of all experience levels. The bike has a no-rust aluminum frame, which is durable enough to support you—but not so heavy that it’ll weigh you down.

With a pair of all-terrain tires, you can maintain momentum in a range of weather conditions. We like that they also offer less rolling resistance than most mountain bike tires, making Royce Union's All-Terrain Mountain Bike a versatile ride.

The bike comes with a 15-inch or 17-inch frame for riders between 5 feet and 5 foot, 10 inches tall, and a weight capacity of 300 pounds. But some users have found that it can be difficult to assemble—so you may want to grab a friend to help.

Key Specs: Style: Mountain | Height Capacity: 5'7" to 5'10" | Weight: 41.8 pounds | Weight Capacity: 300 pounds

Best Folding

Schwinn loop adult folding bike.

Creates smooth, rolling commutes

Comes with a carry bag

Front and rear linear pull brakes

Seat may be too firm for some

If you want a bike you can bring with you on the go, we recommend Schwinn's Loop Folding Bike. This durable steel bike is both reliable and versatile, and its seven-speed drivetrain will help you nimbly shift gears. Featuring smooth tires and linear-pull brakes, your ride will be smooth, comfortable, and easy to maneuver.

What sets this bike apart, though, is the fact that it folds up. When folded, the bike ends up being nearly half its original size. Instead of locking the bike on a bike rack, we love that you can use the included nylon carry bag to bring it with you for on-the-go exercise and transportation.

Note that some users have reported that the seat is very firm—so you may want to purchase a more comfortable bike seat of your own.

Key Specs: Style: Folding | Height Capacity: 4'6" to 6'2" | Weight: 37.4 pounds | Weight Capacity: 230 pounds

Best for Commuters

Specialized roll 2.0 low entry.

Specialized

Good traction

Reflective accents

Comfortable, gel-padded seat

For a reliable commuting bike, Specialized's Roll 2.0 Low Entry is our top pick. It's just as functional as it is stylish, with a durable aluminum frame that can stand up to daily wear and tear. The tires are wide and can grip the road well, even in wet weather.

We also love that the tires have reflective accents, so it's easier for motorists to spot you when you're riding in low-light conditions. Plus, the ergonomic seat features gel padding for a comfortable ride.

While it's more expensive than other bikes on our list, we think the Roll 2.0's durability and commuter-friendly features make it worth the price.

Best Cruiser

Rei electra cruiser 1 step-thru.

Rides comfortably

Intuitive brake system

Available in four colors

Not suitable for long-distance rides

Not designed for varied terrain

If you’re looking for a comfortable, laid-back ride, we recommend Electra’s Cruiser 1 Step-Thru, which features a single-speed drivetrain. We love the intuitive brakes: Simply pedal backward, and your bike will come to a crisp, efficient stop.

The bike also has a low center of gravity that's designed to keep you stable on all your rides. And if you'd like to stay in a natural upright position as you ride, the bike’s step-through silhouette makes it easy.

However, this bike isn't ideal for long-distance rides over rougher terrain, since it's a cruiser.

Key Specs: Style: Cruiser | Height Capacity: 5'1" to 5'8" | Weight: 36 pounds | Weight Capacity: 300 pounds

Best Road Bike

Hiland road racing bike.

Lightweight aluminum frame

Seven-speed shifters for control

Designed with the city in mind, Hiland's Road Bike offers both speed and control in smooth conditions. The bike’s 22-inch wheels will give you a high-speed ride, while its 14-speed shifters will help you nimbly maintain control as you bike. With double-caliper brakes, we like that you can easily stop on slick surfaces—and the aluminum alloy frame is supportive and durable, but still lightweight enough to lift.

The Hiland Road Bike comes with a 21.6-inch frame or a 25.6-inch frame. The 21.6-inch frame makes the bike suitable for riders between 5 foot, 8 inches and 6 foot, 1 inch tall. And the 25.6-inch frame makes it suitable for riders between 6 foot, 1 inch and 6 foot, 4 inches tall.

Some users have found that assembling this bike can be tough, noting missing parts and no instructions. But we still think it's a good investment for beginner to intermediate cyclists.

Key Specs: Style: Road | Height Capacity (size 55 cm): 5'8" to 6' 1" | Weight: 33.4 pounds | Weight Capacity: 300 pounds

Best Hybrid

Schwinn discover hybrid bike.

Fender keeps dirt off rider

Changes gears fast

Rear carrier

Suspension and fork can be jerky

If you’re looking for a quality hybrid bike at a reasonable price point, Schwinn's Discover Hybrid Bike is a solid choice. The bike’s aluminum frame is lightweight but durable, so you can feel supported as you nimbly tackle bends and curves. The 21-speed drivetrain also allows for fast, easy gear changes.

Crafted with linear-pull brakes, you'll be able to make precise stops, rain or shine. The bike performs best on commutes and bike paths. But thanks to its shock-absorbing suspension fork, you can take it on rougher trails, too. We also like the fenders, which keep dirt and mud at bay, and the rear carrier to hold your bags and other gear.

As with other bikes on our list, this one has lower handlebars that some riders may find uncomfortable at first. Users have also found that the suspension and fork can feel jerky—but we think the bike's other features make up for any difficulties you might have riding on trails.

Key Specs: Style: Hybrid | Height Capacity: 5'7" to 6'2" | Weight: 35.5 pounds | Weight Capacity: 250 pounds

Best for Beginners

Public bikes c7.

Public Bikes

Available in eight colors

Public Bikes’ C7 boasts a classic step-through design, which means you can expect to sit upright when you cycle. This natural seating position should keep you comfortable on all your rides, allowing you to focus on more important things, like changing gears and exploring new terrain.

It comes with a seven-speed drivetrain, which you can use to tackle hills and obstacles like a pro. And we like the limited gear range, which allows you to nimbly navigate routes without an overwhelming amount of options. Available in eight sleek colors and available in a small/medium frame or a medium/large frame, it shouldn’t be too tough to find an option that belongs in your collection.

While this bike is more expensive than others on our list, we think it's a worthy investment for beginners who plan on riding their bikes for years to come.

Key Specs: Style: Step-through | Height Capacity: 4' 10 inches to 5' 10 inches | Weight: 32 pounds | Weight Capacity: Not listed

Best Electric

Electra townie go 7d step-through electric bike.

Works as a cruiser or an e-bike

Electra’s Townie Go! 7D Step-Through Electric Bike is a great option for anyone who wants to pick up speed without sacrificing comfort or control. The step-through bike comes with a motor, which you can use to access speeds up to 40 miles per hour—meaning you can tackle both hills and long rides with ease. That balance is part of what makes the Townie Go! 7D such a great pick for first-time e-bike riders.

When you’re not in the mood for a motorized ride, you can use your Townie Go! 7D like a classic bike. The step-through boasts seven speeds, so you can nimbly and fluidly shift gears while you ride. And it also comes equipped with a set of thick balloon tires, which promise to keep your rides smooth and comfortable on a range of different terrain.

Although it is a significant investment, we feel that the ease this bike will bring to your daily commute is worth it.

Style: E-bike | Height Capacity: 4 feet, 11 inches to 5 feet, 11 inches | Weight: 47 pounds | Weight Capacity: Not listed

Best Electric Runner-Up

Aventon pace 350 step-through ebike.

Reaches speeds of up to 20 mph

Available in two sizes

Bright, full-color display

Aventon's sleek, user-friendly Pace 350 Step-Through EBike is our other recommendation for an electric bike at a slightly lower price. It comes with some impressive features, including an LCD display that syncs with (and can charge) your smartphone and five levels of pedal assist. A headlight and tail lights offer safety during dusk or nighttime rides, while a throttle helps the bike reach speeds of up to 20 miles per hour.

The bike comes in two sizes to accommodate riders between 5 foot, 1 inch, and 6 foot, 4 inches. Choose from two stylish colors: bright white or a subtle purple. The price point is higher than others on our list—but with a one-year warranty and 14-day returns, you can shop confidently.

Key Specs: Style: Electric | Height Capacity: 5'1" to 6'4" | Weight: 49 pounds | Weight Capacity: 300 pounds

Best for Casual Riding

Vilano step-through city bike.

Stops with linear pull brakes

Seven twist grip gears for controlled rides

Budget-friendly

Gears marked by dots rather than numbers

The Vilano Step-Through City Bike is an urban-style hybrid bike and our top pick for casual rides. The bike’s lightweight steel frame will help you nimbly navigate your neighborhood, while its strong tires will keep you in control as you gain speed. The bike’s seven-speed drivetrain allows you to flexibly shift gears as you maneuver different portions of your route, and its linear-pull brakes provide a smooth, efficient stop.

The Vilano Step-Through City Bike comes in a single size, which is suitable for riders between 5 feet and 5 feet, 6 inches—though the seat is adjustable to accommodate a greater height range. But while we love the budget-friendly price, the gearshift may be difficult to read at times.

Key Specs: Style: Hybrid | Height Capacity: 5 feet to 5 feet, 6 inches | Weight: 32 pounds | Weight Capacity: Not listed

How We Selected the Best Bikes for Women

First, we asked Tyler Jones , store manager at Erik's Bike Shop in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, which qualities to look for when purchasing a bike. Then, we reviewed dozens of bikes from the most trusted and popular retailers. We evaluated each bike based on its riding style, gears, and durability. We also considered the weight of each bike, style, portability, and ease of assembly to compile our final list of recommendations.

What to Look for in Bikes for Women

Riding style.

There are several different kinds of bikes, and each kind is designed for a different style of riding. Road bikes are equipped to handle smoother surfaces, like sidewalks and city streets. Mountain bikes are equipped to handle more rugged terrain, like off-road trails. And hybrid bikes are designed to handle both. Consider the type of riding you intend to do, and shop for a bike that accommodates your riding style.

You'll want to look for a bike that matches the type of riding you plan on doing most often. Are you riding for fitness or recreation? Will you be taking your bike on long morning commutes or simply riding it around the block? If you’re an avid cyclist, you may want a performance option that’s built to last, like Royce Union's RMT All-Terrain Mountain Bike. If you’re a first-time or recreational cyclist or enjoy an indoor exercise bike and want to give riding outside a try, you may prefer a budget-friendlier option that’s a little easier to use, like Electra’s Cruiser 1 Step-Through Bike .

Women's bikes usually have one of two types of frames: a regular (also known as a step over) frame or a step-through frame. Visually, they look different—regular frames typically have an extra piece of horizontal metal between the seat and the handlebars that you have to step over in order to get on the bike. Step-through frames don't have this piece, which means they're easier to get on and off of. The type of frame doesn't affect the bike's performance.

One note: If you are thinking about attaching a child seat to your bike, you'll want to make sure the seat is compatible with your bike's frame. A rear frame-mounted seat will only work with a regular frame bike. Rear rack-mounted and front-mounted seats are compatible with both types of frames.

Bike gears are designed to help you comfortably navigate different kinds of terrain. If you intend to bike a lot, you may want a bike with plenty of gears you can nimbly shift between. If you prefer to go on shorter, more recreational rides, you may not need as many gears to choose from.

Frequently Asked Questions

“A good, high-quality bike is relative to the shopper's desired cycling discipline and what their expectation of performance is,” says Jones. Generally, you should expect to pay between $300-$600 for a recreational bike for adults. Some high-performance bikes, like Aventon's Pace 350 Step-Through EBike , may start around $1,000. Less expensive bikes may not have as many useful features, and likely won't be as durable. More expensive options may have a more modern design and added features like easy-to-read displays.

The cheapest bike on our list, Vilano's Step-Through City Bike , is often available for less than $200. And our top overall pick, Schwinn’s Women's GTX 3 Hybrid Bike, was $550 when we last updated this list.

In general, you can use the bicycle manufacturer’s sizing chart to determine the right size bike for your height. For bikes that need very specific sizing, such as road bikes, the sizing process may be more involved, so you should work with a local bike shop for the best fit.

“We measure the rider's inseam, torso, arm lengths, overall height, and flexibility to determine exactly which size would be best for the rider,” says Jones.

The main difference between women’s and men’s bikes is the size and fit. Women, on average, are shorter than men and have proportionally shorter torsos and longer legs, so women’s bike models generally have shorter stack heights and shorter reach lengths.

Some women-specific commuter and cruiser bikes are built to accommodate wearing a skirt, so the top tube is much lower than the tubes on men’s versions. The right bike for you will be the one that fits you best, regardless of which gender it’s intended for.

As a seasoned health and fitness writer, Lindsey Lanquist understands how vital quality product recommendations can be. She is careful to recommend products that are reliable, comfortable, and genuinely well-reviewed by those who’ve tried them.

As a health and fitness writer, she's passionate about finding products that are of great value and make life easier. She's enjoyed cycling outdoors since she was little—her favorite bike to ride is a beach cruiser, like Electra’s Cruiser 1 Step-Thru bike.
