Advantages: Ergomonically designed for women. Disadvantages: Non-disc brakes 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 ... ...have not become 'stuck' and the chain has not come off - emphasising the ridgid designing of the Specialized range. The bike has shorter handlebars to line up with the womans frame and has a womans specific padded gel seat as standard for comfort.
The bike comes in 3 different sizes and the only colour I have seen it in is silver with 'Hardrock' written in a bright pink colour. The bike is quite feminine colour-wise but really is quite agressive ...
