For women, choosing the mountain bike is something that requires full consideration. The reason is just because the incorrect choices can bring disadvantages and also dangers to women bike riders. It is much better to get a women's mountain bike rather than a standard or even unisex mountain bike. If you'd like to buy a women's mountain bike, you should consider some things as listed below.

1. The bicycle's size and design
Among some women's mountain bike to buy, their sizes and designs are probably the most crucial things to consider. You have to choose a mountain bike that best fits you. Ladies generally have shorter arms than men, which are the reason why they usually become stretched out on their bicycles. To select the best fit women's mountain bike, you need to try them out. Go to a cooperative bike stores that have friendly sales peoples and ask them to try out the mountain bicycles. They possibly are not going to allow you to ride the bike out off-road, but it is possible to still ride them in short ride to know whether they suit you or not. Regarding the design, you should pick one of them that have strong and good looking design, because women need comfort as well as style at once.

2. The bike's stems and bars.
It is much better to get the bars closer to you. It is possible to set them up to provide best position that fits you. Besides that, you need to consider the width of the bicycle's handlebars. The width of handlebars should have relation to your shoulders width. Generally women's shoulders are narrower than mens shoulders; then their bikes shouldn't have the same width bars as the men's. If your size is medium (around 55), then you may be fit with 23 to 24 MTB bars that use bar ends moving the grips in a bit. Using riser bars of women's mountain bike that bend upwards and back from the stem area is useful to raise the grips up, but it is normally wider than flat bars. This would be the wrong choice. The bars having a short reach and shallow drop are better for you. The example of these bars is Morphe bars. One more example of useful drop handlebar is the Terry handlebar. This handlebar will place your hands closer to the brake levers.

3. The mountain bike's brake levers.
Because women usually have a weaker grip than men, choosing short-reach brake levers for drop bars seriously isn't the good option. On the other hand, you should choose the brake levers which are convenient to operate from the brake lever hoods. Perhaps you should set the adjustment screw on the brake levers for making it easier to reach.

4. The mountain bike's saddle and crank.
For the mountain bike's saddle, you need to find the bike having the most comfortable saddle for you. While for the crank, you may choose the bike having suitable crank length with your leg. To find the best saddle and crank, there isn't any other way instead of trying out the bike.

Somehow it is quite not easy for women to choose the best women's mountain bike. I hope the ideas above can help you out.
