Women\u2019s racing is on the ascendant, with increasing interest and more money flowing into the sport.<\/p>\n

With last year\u2019s return of the Tour de France Femmes<\/a>, there are now women\u2019s versions of all three grand tours and the majority of one-day and shorter stage races also have a women\u2019s version.<\/p>\n

Here, we take a look through the bikes and components of the Women\u2019s WorldTour, including key trends for 2023 and headline component swaps.<\/p>\n

But first, here are a few trends in the bikes of the Women\u2019s WorldTour teams and an overview of how spec trends compare to the men\u2019s WorldTour.<\/p>\n

A lot more SRAM, no Campagnolo<\/h2>\n

In the men\u2019s WorldTour,<\/a> Shimano dominates the groupset<\/a> choices of the 18 teams, with only four teams not using Shimano Dura-Ace<\/a>: three on SRAM and one Campagnolo.<\/p>\n

In the Women\u2019s WorldTour, things are a lot more even between SRAM and Shimano. Seven of the 15 teams run SRAM Red AXS<\/a> and the other eight are running Shimano Dura-Ace.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s surprising not to see a single Campagnolo-sponsored Women\u2019s WorldTour team, even if the brand\u2019s involvement in men\u2019s racing has also been dwindling over the years. It\u2019s down to one team from three last year, despite the brand formerly dominating pro racing.<\/p>\n

More brands represented in women\u2019s racing<\/h2>\n
\"""\"<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>

There\u2019s more diversity in other equipment as well.<\/p>\n

Time Pedals<\/a> are specced more commonly in the Women\u2019s WorldTour than the men\u2019s \u2013 only Trek-Segafredo uses Time pedals among the men\u2019s teams, whereas there are three women\u2019s teams using them.<\/p>\n

\"""\"<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>
Speedplay Aero pedals are also well represented in women\u2019s racing.<\/span><\/figcaption> Factor<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

Wahoo Speedplay<\/a> is used by three women\u2019s teams and two men\u2019s teams.<\/p>\n

Look pedals are comparatively lightly used by women\u2019s teams, with two teams using the K\u00e9o Blade, as against six men\u2019s teams.<\/p>\n

The Women\u2019s WorldTour presents an opportunity for bike brands other than those represented in the men\u2019s racing too. Felt, Dare and Factor are rubbing shoulders with Canyon, which has three teams on its bikes, and Giant\u2019s Liv with two.<\/p>\n
