Reviewing Raleigh Eva 4.0:

I would recommend this bike for any young woman wanting to try mountain biking on a budget.

Pros
Great entry level bike! I bought this for my teenage daughter to learn to ride the trails with me. It has served her well.

Cons
Not a bike for the tougher trails, and now that her skills have improved she will need an upgrade.

Great trail worthy bike.

Pros
More trail worthy than the lower versions. Upgraded to 9speed and more dependable Shimano disc brakes.

Cons
I would replace the fork with a Tora or a Recon. Something with rebound damping.

Reviewing Raleigh Eva 4.0:

Great buy. If looking for something more trail capable look at the Eva 8.0

Pros
Great bike for women looking to ride. Decent mix of components that should last long.

Cons
Never a fan of the Tektros.
