'13 Trek

When Trek's Lush, the trail, and you are all flowing in harmony, it's easy to see why so many people love mountain biking. Those occasions become the norm thanks to the Lush's women's fit and Trek's outstanding aluminum frame as well as their efficient ABP suspension design. That suspension has 120mm of RockShox-controlled travel out back that's tuned for women, along with a matching 120mm up front. Further women's-specific components like the Bontrager saddle, perfect-width handlebars and lighter wheels contribute to the brilliant ride. The Lush also has an SLX/Deore drivetrain with plenty of easy climbing gears, Shimano hydraulic-disc brakes, and grippy Bontrager tires.
