Calibre Bossnut Ladies Edition thrashed by Joey Gough!

Following on from the success of the popular 130mm Calibre Bossnut, the team from Calibre Bikes has released this amazing value trail bike with alterations to make it comfier for woman riders.

(check out the 2017 Calibre Bikes Prototype right here)

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!

(if you sign up for a £5 Go Card – or £1300 if you’re not interested in huge discounts on everything they sell!)

Calibre Bossnut Ladies

Look at the stance of the Calibre Bossnut Ladies edition – it’s exactly the same as the excellent version that’s been winning a lot of bike tests. Designed and specced by a mountain bike fanatic – you can tell.

Here are the main points about the new Calibre Bossnut ladies edition:

  1. Frame sizes down to 15.5in
  2. Calibre Bossnut Alloy full suspension frame, 130mm travel
  3. Rockshox Sektor suspension fork
  4. Shimano Deore 2×10 set up
  5. WTB i25 rims
  6. WTB Vigilante/Beeline tyres
  7. Dropper post routing
  8. International shipping – even to the US
  9. Smaller diameter grips for smaller hands
  10. WTB women’s saddle
  11. Shorter cranks
  12. Lighter shock tune on the Rockshox Monarch rear shock.
  13. £1000 with Go Card, £1300rrp

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.

Joey Gough knows how to send it – and the Calibre Bossnut Ladies edition works perfectly for her aggressive riding style. It’s not a bike designed for tow path pootles…
