Specialized amira vs ruby.
Specialized ruby vs amira.
The ruby is a more relaxed ride the amira is a more aggressive bike.
Specialized has historically offered women s specific models like the amira ruby dolce era and rhyme.
The ruby also has a longer wheelbase than say the amira so it provides extra stability on the road the longer the wheelbase the more stable the bike will be.
Google roubaix vs tarmac and you will find a bunch of explanation.
The amira is the female version of the tarmac.
But maybe you should rent the ruby amira for a day and ride your hills.
As someone posted in your thread in the main forum go to a shop and let them fit you on a bike depending on your physical characteristics you may be better on one or the other.
When my lbs weighed the ruby amira with similar components in front of me the ruby was 1 2 pound heavier.
With sizing varying between the type of bike and even the model we ve compiled a handy guide for specialized bikes to help you get the correct size.
I personally liked the amira better because i felt the handling was less ackward than the ruby.
I m pretty much set on specialized though i ve found the colours for the 2013 bikes leaving much to be desired particularly when it comes to the ruby.
I m looking at getting a new road bike.
My understanding is the ruby is the female version of the roubaix.
Currently i have an aluminium giant and it is my baby but for the events for next year i need carbon.
The dolce is the aluminum version of the ruby at a lesser price.
I m leaning more toward.
It also has a relaxed geometry meaning it positions the rider in a more upright position which over a long ride provides a little less stress on the body.
In the past specialized offered the amira as a race bike for women but it concluded from retul geometry data from over 40 000 bike fits that the separate geometries were not required and thus.
Most lbs will credit back the rental price to your bike purchase.
However data gathered from thousands of bike fits over the last decade have shown that many women s bike fits don t deviate far from men s fits.
