The ST 540 S MTB has a UNISEX frame.The ST 540's frame has been carefully designed down to the smallest detail, from the top tube's relatively pronounced slope, to the wide range of sizes (M: 1.65m to XL: 2m). The ST 540 S is not only lightweight and comfortable, but UNISEX as well.To make the most of the improved comfort, the women on the Rockrider team recommend the 500 Women's Sports saddle, which is specially designed for the female form. - For less weight and more efficient pedalling, the Rockrider ST 540 S frame is made from 6061 aluminium (only 2.7 kg in size M without suspension). Its 120mm rear shock uses a single-pivot system (more sensitive to small impacts, while remaining firm when encountering large impacts) and sealed bearings for a great lifespan.
