Juliet Ladies’ bikes with a big difference
Women are different – so is MERIDA! Our R & D specialists realised that ladies’ bikes have to be developed with the same great care as their equivalents for male riders. That’s why MERIDA offers a special series for female bike fun – on and off the road! As a matter of course, our female-oriented design language is also different. Besides visual features, these bikes primarily impress via their technological details.
ROAD JULIET – RELAXATION OR FULL THROTTLE ALONG ALL ROADS Female road riders will enjoy the fact our female road-bikes’ geometry is derived from the design of our comfortable RIDE family. The longer wheel base provides greater handling predictability while the extended head tube also supports general bike stability. In addition, the shorter stem and the more upright seating position give better overview visibility. The narrower handlebar and the specific shifting/brake lever configuration also account for smaller hands. There are also shorter cranks with compact transmission (170 mm, 50/34 teeth) and female-specific saddles with DUAL DENSITY technology.
JULIET MTB – MAXIMUM OFF-ROAD FUN The MERIDA 2011 product portfolio also enables female MTB fans to enjoy trails and fire roads: Our JULIET RECREATION hardtails have adapted geometries. Their longer head tubes and stronger-sloping top tubes result in a more upright seating position relieving the pressure-sensitive pubic bone area. In addition, the lower BB position allows problem-free and quick ground contact for female feet! As a matter of course, all MERIDA ladies’ MTBs feature female-specific configurations including narrower handlebars and anatomically adapted saddles – actively supported by smoother-running tyres as well as suspension forks optimally adjustable for lower body weights. The unobtrusive appearance is also part of our philosophy – creating a genuine ladies bike with all stunning and well-proven MERIDA highlights!
