We’re noticing more and more brands offering women’s models, but they’re not all shortening the top tubes as has been the traditional approach – apparently the industry is starting to question if anyone actually has any data suggesting women have shorter torsos than men.

Stork, like many, have added women’s options with an identical frame to their performance unisex bikes – but the handlebars, cranks and stem can be altered to a woman’s requirements.

We’re still trying to get to the bottom of why we need a different stem if we don’t have shorter bodies.
