Men's and women's bicycles

Choosing the right bike starts with three simple questions: where do you ride, how many kilometers do you want to cover, and how frequently will you use the bicycle?

• Surface: asphalt → road or city bike; gravel and dirt roads → gravel; trails and single tracks → MTB; mixed routes with self-supported pedaling → e-bike.
• Usage: training and performance, daily commuting in the city, cycling tourism on weekends, or off-road adventure.
• Size and components: a bike of the correct size with a gear group suitable for your skill level makes more of a difference than the frame price alone.

If you have doubts, our customer service can help you compare models and configurations before purchasing, or visit our shop in Piasco for a road test.

The frame material affects the bike's weight, comfort, and responsiveness:

• Steel: superior comfort, excellent vibration damping, and long-lasting durability. The ideal choice for cycling tourism, city bikes, and for those seeking a smooth ride over long distances.
• Aluminum: lightweight, stiff, and affordable. It is the most common material for road, gravel, and entry-level to mid-range MTB bikes, offering an excellent quality-to-price ratio.
• Carbon: the peak in terms of lightweight properties and torsional stiffness for a given weight. It allows tailoring the frame's responsiveness to the specific discipline, representing a higher investment typical of top-tier road and gravel bikes.

Women's bicycles are not simply "smaller": dedicated frames often feature a shorter top tube, a geometry that reduces the distance between the saddle and handlebar, and components like saddles and handlebars sized for female body proportions. Many brands today offer the same range of unisex sizes, distinguishing fit through specific fitting rather than just frame graphics.

For this reason, the advice remains the same: choose based on size and geometry, not just the gender indicated by the model. Our filters for height and frame size help you narrow down the selection immediately.

How to choose the bike size online? Refer to your height and, where available, your inseam length, cross-referencing them with the specific model's size chart: every brand and every bike type (road, gravel, MTB) has different geometries even at the same declared size. If in doubt, write to us: we help you compare your measurements with the geometry of your chosen frame.

Aluminum or carbon? It depends on usage: aluminum offers an excellent quality-to-price ratio and is very durable, suitable for those who ride regularly without aiming for peak performance. Carbon is lighter and allows better modulation of frame stiffness, making it the preferred choice for those seeking high performance on high-end road and gravel bikes.

How much does a new bike cost? Prices vary greatly depending on type and components: a city bike or entry-level bike starts at a few hundred euros, while road, gravel, and MTB bikes with high-end gear groups or carbon frames can cost several thousand euros. Use price filters to quickly navigate the range that interests you.

Can I pay in installments? Yes, at Cicli Mattio you can buy in installments via Findomestic Banca, subject to approval based on the financial institution's assessment. This option is available directly at checkout for eligible products.
