The 7 Best Bikes for Women of 2020

When it comes to choosing a bike, there are enough options to make your head spin: should you choose a trail-ready mountain bike that looks a little intense for your ride to work? A sleek street bike with tires that won’t hold up on weekend trips? It’s hard to find a bike that transitions flawlessly from road to trail to wherever else your day takes you, but sixthreezero’s Pave ‘N Trail Hybrid Bike is up to the task.

This 21-speed hybrid bike is designed for maximum comfort when you’re riding on pavement, but it’s also got shock resistance for bumpy terrain and gears that can take you up to 30mph. Its geometry works with your body for the most comfortable ride possible, with a specially designed comfort foam saddle that reduces tailbone pain. Plus, the bike includes anti-vibration springs in the handlebars to eliminate numbness and pain.

Women who are trying out bikes for the first time or need an inexpensive option for casual rides will appreciate Avalon’s Comfort Bike. It boasts adjustable seats, seven-speed shifting, front and rear suspension to buffer against bumps, and smooth-rolling street tires for ideal grip on all surfaces. The royal purple frame is nothing to sneeze at, either.

Shoppers loved this bike’s easy assembly, upright seating position, and lightweight aluminum design. It’s a great choice for women who want a reliable bike without the jaw-dropping price of other bike models.

Women who love sweating it out on rocky trails or winding outdoor paths will appreciate Diamondback’s high-end mountain bike. The bike’s aluminum frame is lightweight yet sturdy—it’ll withstand tough conditions without slowing you down. You’ll be secure down steep hills with the bike’s lower center of gravity, and the brand’s Shimano hydraulic disc brakes increase your control.

Cruiser bikes are stylish rides with that come equipped with larger balloon tires, single-speed drivetrains, upright seating, and head-turning designs. They’re a great pick for women who want a bike that effortlessly moves from street to light weekend trail rides, and sixthreezero’s EVERYjourney Women’s Cruiser looks as good as it feels.

This bike’s curvy step-through frame makes it easy to jump on for a leisurely ride. It’s available in multiple sizes and one, three, or seven speeds to meet your individual needs, and the ten color choices have a stunning option for everyone. The bike's comfortable saddle and handlebar design are also big pluses.

Folding bikes are a great choice for women who need to store their bikes in small apartments, or bring their bikes inside to keep them safe during the workday. Schwinn’s folding bike is an affordable option for city commuters or college students looking for a faster way to zip around campus.

Women up to six feet tall can comfortably enjoy this bike. Gear changes are a breeze with the seven-speed shifter, and a pant guard and front and rear fenders protect your favorite work pants from splashes and mud. As a plus, this bike also includes a rear rack for easy carrying.

Road bikes are a leaner version of mountain bikes: they have narrower tires for higher speeds on smooth surfaces, a lighter frame for zipping past competitors, and their dropped or curled handlebars leave room for a wider array of speed settings. Giordano Libero’s bike is specifically designed for helping women get the road bike experience they deserve.

This road bike is designed as an entry-level experience into road biking or racing. The 14-shift drive train shifts reliably so you can focus on the road, and the lighter weight frame and specialty saddle keep you comfortable around quick turns or when you’re passing a competitor. Better yet, every component on this bike is adjustable for a perfect fit.

E-bikes are a great choice for women who want a little extra pep in their bike, or for older riders or people recovering from injuries or inactivity who may need a boost to make it up hills. NAKTO’s e-bike has a beautiful design and a six-hour battery life for women who want to join the e-bike craze.

This bike comes with a strong motor and gear shifting system, pedal assist and fully automatic modes, and a high-configuration blended braking system for a safer ride. A high-brightness front light and taillights help you get around in the evening, and the attached basket creates a nostalgic vibe. Additionally, this e-bike is easy to assemble.
