Sorry, I gotta 100% diagree with this above.
I had a chance to not just test ride but RENT a Specialized Amira for the day. did about 50 miles and 4000 feet of climbing. Took it down a long and windy decent. GLendora Moutain Road for those of you who know it. I am 4'11" and the bike was fucking fantastic and it fit great. I found it to be more stable and less twitchy then my current bike (Cannondale Optimo)
It also was way stiffer in the BB. When I sprint uphill on the Cannondale I can feel it flex, not so on the Specialized. In fact I didn't even realize how noodley it was until I rode the Cannondale the day ofter renting the Amira.
I already have an S Works on Order :D
