Novara Bliss 2.0 Mountain Bike - 2008 - Women's

Sterling performance and full-suspension comfort, all in a bike made to match your measurements and strength. We can only call it Bliss, version 2.0. Bliss 2.0 is the premium package: women-specific geometry, lightweight shocks and wheelsets, disc brakes and SRAM drivetrain; it's all the good stuff. Bliss is designed to fit women, not men; frame sizing accommodates short inseams, and frame geometry conforms to short torso and reach lengths. True Link platform yields 4 in. of float and remains active during pedaling and braking, resisting lockout and enhancing traction, control and comfort. 6061 aluminum tubes are double butted (thick at the ends, narrowing once toward the middle) for a savings in weight without a reduction in strength. Lightweight hydroformed downtube is shaped to add strength alongside the headset and bottom bracket , where many frames fail. RockShox suspension in the front and rear helps soften landings and deliver outstanding performance on fast downhills and technical single track. RockShox Tora 302 front suspension provides 100mm of travel to reduce rider fatigue on speedy descents and keep you in control on technical terrain. RockShox Bar 2.1 rear suspension reduces road shock. Avid BB7 mechanical disc brakes allow controlled deceleration and positive stopping power no matter the terrain or conditions of the day. WTB SpeedDisc rims, with I-beam, double-wall construction, deliver unrelenting strength and durability. Rugged and grippy, the WTB Prowler tires are incredibly lightweight, to help you lift your bike and to reduce fatigue during long ascents. Never get stuck in the wrong gear—SRAM X7 27-speed drivetrain provides flawless, instantaneous trigger shifting. With a specially shaped shell and tuned padding, the WTB Pure V Comp saddle is designed to meet the anatomic requirements of the feminine body.
