Best Womens Mountain Bike

Im looking for a decent mountain bike that doesn’t break the bank too much but isn’t lousy ($400-500).

I was wondering what brand of bike you guys found was the best for you and why. How much did it cost you for a decent bike. I was thinking about the GIANT brand as my boyfriend speaks highly of it.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    I’ve reported SapSan’s posts on the “SERIAL SPAM MEMBER ON BH” thread.

    IMHO, Giant bikes aren’t what they used to be. I had a Merida Juliet and I was really happy with it, but unfortunately it was stolen from a caravan park in WA. It was chained to the drawbar of our caravan, and the b@$t@rd$ cut through TWO chains. It was really comfortable to ride. I was devastated when it went. I replaced it with a Specialised Myka, and I love it even more than my Merida. I did look at a Giant, but the components on the Specialised were better, and I just liked the look of it. When buying bikes, you really do get what you pay for. Make sure you go to a specialty bike shop, and ask them to measure you to get the correct size.

    I think the best bike that I have ever had was a cruiser. Depending on what you want to do. I think you need to get out and find which bike is the best. everyone will say that they have the best women bikes.

    I found Norco was the best for me because it was excellent quality and I found a guy clearing out his store who sold me a half price Fluid 2. It was dual suspension though, so I didn’t have a similar price range to you. My reccomendation of the two you have is the giant.Mostly for looks lol, I found Meridas to be more square in the tubes they use for the frames.

    To follow up, I’ve come down to two bikes

    GIANT Talon 2 or
    MERIDA MATTS 40-D

    I’ll update on my decision.
