This year leading lady Ariane Kleinhans is riding on the female specific Specialized Era after riding the men’s variant for some time. The key difference compared to the brother bike, the Epic, lies in the frame geometry and contact points. The Era features a lower standover height and shorter reach, said to provide a better fit for many ladies.<\/p>\n

Much of Ariane’s bike is factory specification as you would find on the shop floor, aside from the Rotor \/ Power2Max crankset (a personal sponsor), SRAM Guide Ultimate brakes and, once again, the Specialized S-Works Power saddle makes an appearance among the pro bikes. The Power range of saddles are designed for high performance in terms of blood flow while in an aggressive position that supports the sit bones and is super light at just 159g for the 143mm S-Works version.<\/p>\n
