Fun, fast and versatile plus-bike, but let down a little on the spec. Buy if you want a capable bike that gives a confident, plush, fast ride and are happy to invest in spec upgrades to a good frame
Option to run 29er wheels, plus-sized tyres provide incredible grip in corners and in slick conditions, fun, fast and responsive ride
Forks aren’t great value for the price, autosag is a miss, important to get the right tyre pressure

The Rhyme is Specialized’s women’s specific Stumpjumper. That means it’s not designed for enduro, nor cross-country racing, but everything else in between; a good old fashioned trail bike with fun as the main priority, and it hits that nail on the head during every ride. Buying your first mountain bike: everything you need to know When should you replace your bicycle helmet? We asked the experts Review: Trek Fuel EX 5 Women’s 27.5 Plus Though it is a women’s specific trail bike, you don’t need to worry about being patronised with “feminine” paint jobs or upright, shopper-style geometry.

The Rhyme FSR Expert Carbon 6Fattie is the top-tier women's plus bike from Specialized. How did the chubby Californian fare on our British trails?

Contrary to popular belief, the Specialized Rhyme Comp Carbon 6Fattie isn’t actually a bike. It’s salt-and-vinegar potato chips. The first bite is curious

Specialized adds to the 29er and 27.5 stable with a 3.0 tire version. Outer tire diameter is roughly the same as the 29er version but its character is quite a bit different with ultimate comfort and traction. - Mtbr.com
