Until recently, there was no such thing as women’s-specific mountain bikes. There were just mountain bikes. Men rode them and women rode them. The introduction of women’s-specific mountain bikes has been both a blessing and a curse. They have been a blessing for smaller women who didn’t fit on traditionally-sized bikes, and for ladies looking for b...
We know that the *average* woman is a bit different than the *average* man. Women mountain bikers tend to have lower body mass, shorter torsos, and longer legs. We also have different anatomy “down there.” Shorter, more petite women, in particular, tend to have trouble finding small enough frame sizes in traditional mountain bikes. Women’s-specific...
Here are our top 10 (actually 11!) picks for women. You’ll note that many of these are from women’s specific brands while others just good options for women (smaller frame options, lighter weight, etc).
Liv has done a great job not only of creating women’s-specific bikes, but also of creating a brand that makes women feel comfortable and draws them into the sport. The Liv Tempt 1is a great entry-level mountain bike. Unlike many “budget” bikes, it’s reasonably lightweight which means you won’t struggle to handle the bike and can go faster. The bike...

If you do have a problem, they have a list...
The Liv Lurrais the next step up from the Liv Tempt (and one that I would encourage you to take). Although it’s a hardtail, this is designed to be a trail bike. It has slacker, modern mountain bike geometry to slay the downhills as well as the uphills. This trail vibe is also reflected in the longer travel 130mm Giant air fork, high-volume tubeless...
While not a women’s specific bike, the Yeti Cycles ARC Turqis a great choice for women thanks to it’s lightweight design and wider range of sizes. (The small frame fits riders as small as 5’1″). It’s also gorgeous. The bike is light and fast enough for cross-country racing but is slack enough for slaying the trail. The ARC Turq is a great bike for ...
