Girls and women, this is the mountain bike for you! Whether you’re a growing teenager or a cycling returner of unconfessed years, the Specialized Myka HT 2011 Women’s Mountain Bike has been created to provide comfort and joy.

To start with, the top quality aluminium frame is designed to suit a female physique and sensibilities. The geometry allows for a confident ride and features a low top bar so that you can jump on – and off – with greater ease.

Specialized have also added front forks with women-specific customised suspension that is set to suit your size. This means that the bike handles the humps and bumps of a range of different on and off-road terrains with great aplomb.

In addition, the women-specific features of the 21-gear Specialized Myka HT 2011 include handlebar grips to match smaller hands, as well as a Body Geometry Women’s Riva saddle that is designed with ultimate comfort in mind, even when taking the bike on longer rides.

As you would expect from this leading bike manufacturer, the Myka HT 2011 also comes with numerous good quality components. Derailleurs and gear shifter are Shimano, while the seven-speed gear cassette is SRAM. These components will serve you well and offer many miles of sublime riding

This bike comes with caliper brakes and pads, which are perfect for most uses on road and on country trails. But if you’re keen to take your riding to the next level, perhaps with a bit of downhilling, then the Myka is easy to adapt as it already has the mounts in place for disc brakes.

The bike also benefits from durable double-walled alloy rims that are tough enough to handle the rough stuff and Specialized Fast Trak LK Sport tyres that feature a reduced knob height offering lower rolling resistance while on the roads, yet still providing lots of grip when on the trails.

Of course, the colour and styling of the bike does matter (don’t let the guys tell you it doesn’t because they care too!). This Specialized Myka HT 2011 mountain bike is a striking shade of cool white with blue or red detailing.

So, not only does this bike handle well and suit a range of terrains, it’s also good looking.
