Revolution Trailfinder Womens '11 (Was £249.99 Then £199.99)

Revolution Trailfinder Women's

The Trailfinder gives you mountain bike strength dressed in city bike livery.

The 26x2" tyres are semi smooth so they're more stealthy than off-road knobblies. The 3/4 length mudguards (with stainless steel stays) means you'll be spared the shower of road spray that comes off unguarded tyres.

The hi-tensile steel fork is rigid so it's lighter than any suspension fork. Maintenance-free too.

The Shimano EZ Fire shifters make it easy to click through the 18-speed gears. However, the SunTour 28/38/48t alloy chainset makes the Trailfinder higher geared than an equivalent MTB with a 42t big ring.

The MTB riser bars are fitted to an adjustable-rise stem which makes it easy to raise or lower the bar height.

The women's-specific aluminium alloy frame, 26" alloy wheels and the Tektro alloy V-brakes are all mountain bike spec and MTB quality. The Trailfinder is therefore more than capable for bridlepath-like trails.

Women's-specific frame
Our women's-specific frame is based on the observation that the average women is 6" shorter than the average bloke. Moreover the 5' 6" women will have longer legs and a shorter torso than the average Joe. Sit a female on a bike built for the average male: she's obliged to overstretch to reach the bars so she'll never be comfortable on that bicycle. Hence the Revolution Trailfinder women's-specific frame.

• The frame's shorter top tube and taller head tube makes for a shorter reach to the bars.
• This immediately helps alleviate weight on the wrists, pain in the neck and pressure from the nose of the saddle that can be caused by overstretching to reach bars that are too low and too far away.
• The women's-specific diamond frame is more efficient than the traditional women's open frame.
• It's worth saying that while our women's-specific design suits 80-90% of women, that leaves around 10/20% who prefer a longer frame and should therefore opt for the standard men's model, the Revolution Trailfinder.

Revolution Trailfinder Women's Features

• 7005-series women's-specific aluminium frame. This frame helps make the bike light enough to ride uphill without too much effort. Even if you're only moderately fit. Yet it's built strong and true so it comes with a lifetime warranty.
• The frame has eyeletted seat stays and dropouts to make it easy to fit a pannier rack (or better still if you ask us to fit a rack when you order the bike we will waive the normal fitting charge).
• The rigid steel fork will never require servicing.
• SunTour alloy chainset with disc chainguard. Its 28/38/48t is higher geared than an MTB with a 42 or 44t big ring - useful if you want to crank up the speed.
• Shimano 18-speed EZ Fire gear shifters - very light action means they are as easy to use as their name implies.
• Alloy wheels - lighter weight and better braking surface than steel rims. QR (quick release) for convenience - no need to carry a spanner to remove the wheels.
• The 26x2" tyres are semi smooth so they're faster rolling on the road than MTB knobblies. That's significant because nothing influences the riding characteristics of a bike more than the tyres.
• Tektro V-brakes are the best Shimano copies we've had the pleasure to use. Amazing to see this quality of brake on a sub-£200 bike.
• The adjustable rise stem makes it easy to fine tune the height of the handlebars till they're just right.
• 3/4-length mudguards prevent road splash.
• Approximate Weight: 14.30kg / 31.54lb (based upon weighing one example of this bike. We weigh the whole bike as you would receive it with pedals reflectors and bell - items many bike companies remove before weighing their bicycles. Weights can fluctuate between different sizes and builds so please regard our published weights as a useful but inexact guide.)
• Women's Bike Sizing Guide.
• Free fitting on any accessories purchased with this bike. More info.
