@Brawler thank you for helping. FHK is Franschhoek. More likely to do long distance on tracks and trail riding in the week for short hard rides.

Hello Bike Hub Community, Very common question, but I need some help buying my first Mountain Bike. I was big into road cycling but moved to CPT but work and spend most time in FHK. I want to get into mountain biking and have a limited R18K (upper limit) budget. Do I sell/trade in my Raleigh LTD (Blue & Yellow) Carbon to fund this? How do I make a choice between the limited options at my price range? Obviously good components are vital. Focus on group set, suspension ? Where will I find the best bang for my buck (no particular order)? • MOMSEN AL 329 (2021) • 2022 Silverback Stride SX • TITAN Rogue Dash (2022) • MERIDA Big Trail 200 (2022) • MERIDA Big Nine 400 (2022) • 2022 Marvel Prime • Trek Marlin 7/8 Advice and guidance is much appreciated 👌🏻
