It is no secret that women differ from men in many respects: Their cognition and thinking as well as, consequently, also their actions and reasoning follow different patterns. And not just since yesterday, it is known that also the female anatomy has a very own character – although the latter seems to be basically identical to the male “version” except for all obvious and immediately perceptible differences.

But one characteristic is shared by men and women in equal measure: The desire to have fun! And when “he” or “she” rides a bike for this purpose at the latest, one could assume that both genders pursue an identical way to an identical destination. But far from it! It’s a common but big mistake to think that female and male cyclists are able to enjoy the same fun on the same bikes: An anatomically different pelvis requires different “seating contact” to the bike while narrower shoulders call for a correspondingly narrower cockpit – in the best case also equipped with brake and shifting levers which can be reached optimally also by shorter fingers.

All those and a lot of other aspects are regarded by the CENTURION EVE series. No matter if mountain bike, road machine or sportive crosser: In our opinion, a genuine “lady line” does not only involve female decoration features and colour designs, but first and foremost “framework requirements” which are literally and consistently tailored to ladies’ specific demands. Besides suspension system elements being adapted to lower pilot weight, especially the EVE MTB geometry is a real eye-catcher: At identical frame size and corresponding rear stay dimensions, a slightly shorter top tube goes hand in hand with a comparatively higher cockpit position. This combination results in a still very sportive but also slightly more upright and therefore more relaxed seating position. In addition, top tube bend and BB lowering (5 mm) provide safe ground contact for the feet at every stop. Very down-to-earth, isn’t it?

Our EVE mountain bikes also feature tires with lower rolling resistance, specifically adapted grips/levers and shorter saddles with wider rear sections. These top optimizations are also typical for our lady cross bike and our road machine for female velocity lovers. Eventually, we can summarize them in one simple formula: Maximum comfort + maximum cycling fun = 100 % CENTURION!
