The VooDoo brand originated back in the early days of mountain biking. After lying dormant for a few years, the name has been resurrected by cycle and motoring chain Halfords. The bikes themselves have been updated, revamped and are proving popular, and Halfords has now released a new women's-specific full suspension mountain bike to add to the line: the Maji.
The VooDoo Maji is a bike that outperforms its price. At £899, it's well within the cycle to work scheme loan amount, leaving you money spare to top up on gear and accessories. The quality of parts for the price is good, and on first ride it feels comfortable, stable and, dare I say it, fun on the trails.
The Maji features 27.5in wheels, which are rapidly becoming the popular choice over the larger 29er size. They are big enough to make rolling over uneven terrain easier, but small enough to be manoeuvrable on tight, twisty trails. Coupled with decent front and rear suspension, you have a steed that feels capable enough to take on trail centres, bridlepaths and general off-road terrain. I took the Maji for a spin on the bridleways of the New Forest, and the trail centres of Bristol.

Suspension is more than up to the task of trail centre or off-road riding with a substantial 140mm of travel to play with – unusual at this price point. I'd highly recommend getting the suspension set up for you as soon as you get it, or getting the shop to do it, as this will make a huge difference to the feel of the bike, particularly if you are new to full-suspension bikes.
