Kettler Cross Bike

Advantages: Women Specific Geometry
Disadvantages: Limited Colour Choices, disc brakes not as standard

...I have had this bike for 2 months now and believe me I have put it through its paces! The bike has front suspension forks and a narrower frames with a shorter stem designed for a womans physic. I have been using the bike on advanced maountain bike cross country trails and also on 'downhilling' tracks. The bike is sturdy and the standard brakes are really good (Although these can be upgraded to disc brakes). The bike comes with 24 gears and is extremely easy to change gear.
