Designed for women and built for fun, our trail-worthy Bonita features lightweight—and durable—front suspension and tires for easy climbs!

  • More than just a pretty paint job, Bonita has women-specific sizing and a short top-tube to fit a woman's legs and reach
  • Bonita also provides all-around versatility, romping backcountry trails as easily as it accommodates family rides in the park
  • RockShox Dart 1 front suspension with 100mm of travel is both lightweight and stiff, for energetic climbs and precise steering
  • Rugged and grippy, the WTB MotoRaptor tires are incredibly lightweight, to help in lifting bike and to reduce fatigue during long ascents
  • Smooth-rollin' WTB SX24 rims reduce weight where it counts
  • Bonita's frame is built rock solid from incredibly rugged 6061-grade aluminum
  • Hydroformed downtube is lightweight yet incredibly strong, providing added strength alongside the headset and bottom bracket where many frames fail
  • Tektro Aquila mechanical disc brakes provide reliable stopping power and controlled deceleration no matter how rough the terrain, how wet the weather
  • New for 2008, SRAM X5 drivetrain provides rapid shifting through 27 speeds, letting you meet demands of challenging ascents, descents and flats
  • Truvativ LE riserbar and XR 3D stem offer comfortable positioning for off-road terrain
  • With a specially shaped shell and tuned padding, the Speed She Comp saddle is designed to meet the anatomic requirements of the feminine body
  • Just get on and ride, no fancy shoes required—alloy platform pedals accommodate a variety of casual shoes

After its initial break-in period you might notice your bicycle performing less responsively than the day you brought it home. Not to worry, this is typical of all new bicycles and simply reflects that cables have stretched or their housings have seated themselves into final position. To keep running at peak performance, all REI bicycles come with a FREE warranty tune-up, which should be accomplished between the first 100-200 miles of riding or after the first two months if you're accumulating miles less quickly. Contact your nearest REI bike shop for details and an appointment for this important service.

      Comments about Novara Bonita Women's Mountain Bike:

      LOL,next time I will be listed as avid cyclist.After buying 2 other brand bikes elsewhere,about $200 each I was getting bummed about the gears never working well.They often skipped, or got stuck even with readjustments.I KNEW there had to be a way to bike without it always falling apart.This bike has been reliable,the gears shift well,right from the start and after riding awhile.The disc brakes are great.The components are good, I've checked the internet to compare and they are really good for such a price.I sort of thought maybe REI would be chinsey at some parts, but no, the components are not cheapies.I don't think a famous name brand would do any better-all prices being he same-maybe even lesser than Novara.This bike has gotten me going riding again without constant adjusting as a deterent.Keep up the good work.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

          This is a great entry lvl bike. Rides nice does all that I need it to except peddle its self. Gearing good enough for even a first time trail rider to get up some rugged slopes. Will check back in and tell more after this winter of riding in AZ.
