Just seen on Facebook! Silverback's 2011 Cape Town Launch. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Silverback-Technologies/113140362034428#!/album.php?aid=29673&id=113140362034428&ref=mf

I think so - also saw it on Twitter. Phone or mail them.

Silverback has just released two new MTBs. Here are the links that appeared on their website, they include specs and geo! http://www.silverbacklab.com/2011bikes/spectra.jpg http://www.silverbacklab.com/2011bikes/ventura.jpg The Spectra looks good!

Well, they've given me excellent service. Organised a Oakland for my daughter, and Atomic for my son. I've got the time and the inclination! But maybe I should stop now...

Close but no cigar, I'm one of his trainees!

Thanks Timmy! I was probably mountain biking on my off training days when you were still playing tennisette in the primary school quad and perhaps I should have never bothered with The Hub after all these years. I like what Silverback are doing; no I'm not a Silverback employee, and NO I do not own a bike store, but you really want to know what I do, try this link! http://tinyurl.com/2dwgs8v

Ask the guys at Silverback what the story is.

Got this from Twitter: http://twitpic.com/258cg6 with the below caption. JUST RELEASED & Designed in Germany - Silverback's 2011 Stride...It's an entry level MTB, much like the Oakland. http://twitpic.com/258cg6 Time to trade in the Oaklands...

Hi Timmy, it's me Evolution! Was hoping you'd pop up! Perhaps MissyE just got a Silverback, is happy with it and wanted to simply "Rave". No doubt you're a conspiracy theorist when you're not too busy working on your backhand, or policing the Hub for Marketing Guerrillas (pardon the cheesy pun!). Why not ask MissyE whether she's part of a Silverback Black Ops mission?

My sincere apologies, with my tongue firmly in my cheek!

This is great! Wish I had a Mercury. I posted something about Silverback last week and caused a storm. Just been to Silverback's Facebook Fanpage. Check it out, there's a link there about Mercury G3 too. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Silverback-Technologies/113140362034428

Hi There Check this out! I found it on the Silverback website. http://www.silverbacklab.com/pdfs/MERC_3.pdf Hope it helps!

Hey Timmy, If I was employed by Silverback I'd be riding a Mercury 1 or a Prodigy. They're great bikes, and if you don't like them that's great too.

I'm getting the impression that quality is being confused with a rather crushing dose of brand consciousness, and then of course let's not forget that predictable knee-jerk mentality when it comes to anything that's developed, designed or engineered in South Africa. Silverback has some internationally capable high-end bikes, just ask any of the Team Neotel riders, and some of the guys who rode the Epic on a Silverback Mercury. Add to the mix some really high profile SA Triathletes who are also on Silverback, and I've read some extremely complementary feedback on their blogs and Facebook pages. Perhaps we should warn them of the error of their ways. Not only are they committing stylistic suicide by riding a Silverback, they are most likely doing irrevocable damage to their cycling careers! Funny that; Silverback has a potent visual image, a great online presence and a smart marketing campaign - in some cases way better than the overseas crews. I'm also somewhat perplexed why a World Cup MTB Team would choose Silverback when their bikes "are crap", to quote dear old TimmyHenman . Perhaps I'm missing something. Perhaps, I'm boxing weigh above my amateur weight status. Hey, aren't you pros supposed to be in France, riding the Prologue? Perhaps it's time for me to pedal off into the dipping winter sun on my R1000.00 Oakland...

I feel compelled to reply to Timmy's erudite response. Clearly, you are a fountain of brand-related knowledge and your extremely detailed and well-constructed reply to what was an otherwise fairly informative post speaks volumes; far more than your 1st service! By the way Timmy, have you ever ridden a Silverback?

Silverback, the South African-born cycling brand, has big plans for international expansion over the next five years and lists among its growth areas urban mobility (commuter/city bikes) and mountain biking. According to the brand’s latest email newsletter, one the Silverback goals for the next few years are an involvement in a World Cup mountain bike racing team, an ambitious undertaking, but one that will undoubtedly grow the brand’s global exposure and credibility. read more here My link

Hi All Took these photos of the Silverback's carbon road bike, The Space at their showroom, Airport City, Cape Town. Check out the brake stay. Evolution2010-06-04 03:58:30

Silverback's Nabraska is featured in the June Edition of Men's Health. Check it out on page 52!

Well said Silverback Lab! I'm going for a ride on my Surplus 1!

Clearly this is a smear campaign. I've just spoken to the guys at Silverback and they laughed off the absurdity of the rumour. Silverback is the ONLY bicycle company that sells exclusively to independent bicycle dealers.! They emphasized their commitment to only supplying and supporting independent bicycle dealers. Silverback wouldn't dream of selling bikes via any mass store, sports outlet, let alone Cash Crusaders!

Hi All, Check out Silverback's Facebook Fanpage and a cool new product for their Surplus carbon mountain bike called a Frameskin! The're some pics on the Frameskin website. Looks like loads of different makes and models of bikes are supported. Here's the link to their Fanpage: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Silverback-Technologies/113140362034428 Here's the link to the Frame Skin site: http://www.frameskin.com/product.php?id_product=84 Cheers!

What do you think of the Silverback Detroit?
