    Made specifically for women, our saucy Novara Pika hardtail mountain bike is built tough and offers great trail performance in a comfortable, easy-handling compact size.

    • Sturdy 6061 aluminum frame offers up a comfortable geometry for confident, upright riding; frame and fork feature disc brake tabs for an easy upgrade down the road
    • RST Gila T8 suspension fork delivers 80mm of travel to smooth out rough trails, rocks and roots

    • Tektro linear-pull brakes provide powerful off-road stopping power
    • Kenda K920 26 x 1.95 in. combo tires handle transitions from trails to gravel roads with smooth-rolling performance and reliable traction
    • WTB Leisure She Comp saddle provides a soft and comfortable ride; microadjustable seatpost lets you easily fine-tune saddle position
    • Comes equipped with resin platform pedals—no special shoes required!
    • Specs are subject to change

    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.

    Imported.

        Comments about Novara Pika Women's Bike - 2010:

        I did A-Lot of homework before deciding on this one and my, did i ever learn a lot! I've looked up the ratings of every component and weighted out all the differences and found this one to be the best deal in it's price-point. To me it's perfect for those easy scenic hiking trails. I just sold the ooold Rockhopper that i re-learned to ride on after many years of not owning a bike, and what a shock i had to get on the Novara, how very smooth and responsive it is! ...I guess i'm not such a bad cyclist after all :) My husband got on it and took it for a spin and he too was very impressed. It's a very nice bike and i'm very glad i got it.

          I am replacing my Raleigh hybrid with this bike. It is so much smoother of a ride, great power and speed on the road despite the mountain bike tires. Smooth on the trails. Shifts smoothly. i've only had it a day but road it all day!

            Comments about Novara Pika Women's Bike - 2010:

            This bike is great! It has a smooth and comfortable ride and can handle any terrain. It's light enough for me to lift it into my Jeep. Because it's a woman's bike, the distance between handlebars and seat is perfectly proportioned. The seat is also cushy. It doesn't hurt my back to bend forward slightly while riding. This bike also has a lot of gears!

              Comments about Novara Pika Women's Bike - 2010:

              Although I'm not an avid cyclist, I'm more than happy with the decision I made to purchase the Novara Pika. Not only was it much less expensive than other, similar bikes, but it is versatile and handles really well. I commute on multiple terrains, about 10 miles each way, and haven't had any problems at all. It's even comfortable (with cycling shorts on, naturally). I may put a road-style tire on, but that is simply because of my personal needs. Love it!
