Cannondale was the first major manufacturer to take women seriously. They've been designing women's specific bikes for over ten years, and they do it very well. The Feminine line includes both road and mountain bikes designed to perform for women, and the general differences in the way women fit to bikes. Cannondale does not compromise the performance of these bikes - in fact, there are times when the Feminine bikes are even better spec'd than their non-female specific counterparts, and this makes them a very good value for our customers.
