Origin
The Solution ASL (All-Season Ladies) is Author's entry gateway for women into mountain biking — a 27.5" hardtail with women's specific geometry that prioritises low standover height and adjusted reach. It mirrors the male Solution 29 in positioning but with wheel size and geometry adapted for smaller frame sizes and proportions.
