Is the specialized Myka FSR the best full SUSS bike?
The Myka FSR is everything a first full suss bike should be. Specialized’s D4W (Designs for Women) range may have shrunk this year but the entry-level Myka FSR looks set to be a big hit, with a new frame design that’s a smaller, more compact version of its brother, the FSR XC.
What is specialized’s 29er Myka hardtail?
Specialized’s ever-expanding 29er range extends to women’s bikes too, with a 29er Myka hardtail that, impressively, comes in a range of sizes to fit riders from just 5ft tall. Having already appeared at World Cup races (and in various photos and videos on the internet), the 2011 Demo downhill bike will already be known to many.
Is the Myka a good bike?
You get full travel if you really try and the smooth traction offsets the flex coming from the skinny fork legs and QR hub axle. The Myka is still remarkably quick witted for a 29er, turning with ease and rarely feeling too big for even the tightest singletrack. Standover clearance on our sample was better than some 650b bikes we’ve tested too.

Should I get a Myka shock?
Making the most of a shock means that you’ll maximise traction control and climbing performance as well as its bump-eating ability, and the Myka is surprisingly good uphill. We don’t resent dragging the rear suspension around as we have on some cheaper full-suss bikes. Instead it is pleasantly capable, and feels eager to turn uphill.
