Jamis Ventura Race Femme (2012)

We believe in doing women’s bikes right (we are, after all, one of the few bike companies run by a woman). And while that starts with slightly shorter top tubes, steeper seat angles, slacker head angles and longer fork rakes, our Femme bicycles go much deeper than that. We tweak tubing diameters and wall thicknesses to preserve ride quality for lighter-weight physiques, we use size-specific components like narrower handlebars, short-reach brake levers and wider saddles—and we test them with real women cyclists like you, weigh their input and adjust accordingly.

The result is one of our sleeper hits—genuine women’s bikes that are more than just a pretty paint job, but the genuine article.
