Avanti Montari 2W 2021

The women's specific geometry on this bike made a huge difference for me—I feel so much more stable on the trails. The low standover height means I can put my feet down quickly without any awkward stretching. It’s honestly the most confident I’ve ever felt riding off road.

I was a bit nervous about the low standover height on a trail bike, but it makes getting on and off so much easier. The frame feels really light and the geometry gives me a lot of confidence on bumpy sections.

The low standover height makes mounting and dismounting feel much more natural than my old bike. Shifting is smooth enough for my weekend trail rides, though the fork could use a bit more damping for rougher terrain.
