With the increasing awareness of 29″ers amongst the average trail biker, it was only a matter of time before a woman’s specific design would show up. Specialized has made the move for 2011 to bring such a 29″er to fruition. Twenty Nine Inches has just taken delivery of a pre-production Myka 29″er to test and review, so we’ll be getting a closer look at this bike in the coming weeks. Although the bike is not yet in final spec form, we wanted to see if the Myka geometry and positioning would work for trail riding women.

What’s that you say? How can Grannygear or Guitar Ted test a woman’s specific design? Well, never fear, we have found some women willing to throw a leg over this rig and give us their feedback on whether a 29″er, and more specifically, the Myka, is a worthy bicycle for women and their off road pursuits. We’ll also be asking Specialized some questions about how the design is different and why they felt it was time to make the move to a woman’s specific 29″er.

Stay tuned for more on the Specialized Myka 29″er coming up soon!
