Scott Contessa 650 (2014)

Affordable doesn't have to mean boring. Meet the Scott Contessa 650, a mountain bike designed just for women and at a price that's easy to stomach, even for a first-timer to the world of dirt. This bike features a lightweight, tough aluminium frame and a Suntour fork to smooth out the bumps. Durable Shimano components take care of drivetrain duties, and parts from Ritchey, Promax, Formula, and KMC add value and performance to this fun machine.
