Geometry and frame layout is essentially the same, but has the all-important contact points dialled in for women.
Most importantly, the pricing is just as much of a bargain it’s just £1000!

The team at Calibre Bikes didn’t just perform a shrink and pink on the Calibre Bossnut Ladies bike. They had riding friends take the standard Bossnut out, and see what they liked and what they didn’t.
Contact points are obviously personal preference, but the WTB saddle and slim grips they chose were favoured most from options on offer. It’s the lighter shock tune that we like though – whilst riders like Joey Gough will be able to push most set ups to the limit, the lighter tune will suit far more riders.
Genuinely, you’d have to try really hard to be able to beat this bike for performance and value. It’s absolutely brilliant.
