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 easy to change gear. Since having the bike the gears 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.

However the drawstring around the top of the hood to enclose around the face is confortable and good at keeping the heat in whist allowing freedom of movement.
When using this bag i (very) occasionally have a little trouble with the zip...
