Cannondale

The Foray 4 from Cannondale is a veritable adventure machine. A strong, lightweight, women's-specific aluminum frame creates precise handling and a nimble ride that eats up dirt and pavement equally well, while 27.5-inch aluminum Alex rims roll quickly and smoothly atop Innova tires. The Shimano drivetrain provides 21 smooth-shifting speeds to conquer flats and hills, and Jak-7 mechanical disc brakes bring things to a stop right when you need them. Sturdy-yet-lightweight handlebars, stem, and saddle from Cannondale supply an women-specific ride. Don't be afraid to venture into foreign territory: the Foray 4 is game.
