My G/F is after some advice on suitable MTB for short females. She's 5'1" with a short reach.

It will be used for basic cross country & trail riding. A hardtail complete bike preferred with 100+ travel.

Also consider cheaper full sus.

Suggestions welcomed

Cheers

light weight is key

my missus is the same height and she struggled with a heavier bike, got her a comencal normal hardtail in xs, even though the spec wasnt brilliant lightweight tyres and a later upgrade to s/h floats and she was really enjoying things a lot more
