Specialized Myka FSR Expert

The Specialized Myka FSR Expert is a full suspension mountain bike geared towards seasoned female riders. Like its entry-level sister (the Comp), the Expert utilizes a recreational geometry with a lightweight fork to fit better with the physical characters — primarily lower weight — of women. One of the most notable improvements in the Expert is the addition of Avid Juicy hydraulic brakes, which are engineered for exceptional stopping power and reliability, even on wet and slippery surfaces. Note also the Specialized alloy adjustable rise stem, which is both lightweight and 3D-forged with a tiff four-bolt face place for tuned tit and seriously enhanced steering precision. Additional features include a RockShox Recon Fork with 100mm of travel and a long-cage Shimano Deore Shadow rear derailleur that shifts smooth and reliably. All in all, the Expert is expensive, but is highly equipped for female and ONLY FEMALE riders.
