Incredibly well priced, Felt Ladies Krystal 50 comes in at just £849.

The Felt Ladies Krystal 50 is a well-priced mountain bike at £849, with decent components from Shimano’s Deore range and their M505 hydraulic disc brakes too. The 100mm travel SR Suntour Raidon RL fork has an adjustable air spring, ideal for lighter riders, and a remote speed lock too.
