  1. Bike looks great. I do not think they make the Elite anymore ... replaced by Comp Carbon with a MARZOCCHI BOMBER Z2 shock.
  2. Thanks, very helpful. Do you think the Cypher Elite is comparable to the Scott 930? I am looking for a more relaxed geometry - definitely not looking for podium results. With meaty you mean bulkier?
  3. I am considering either the Elite or Scott Spark 930 as XC / trail bike combo. The Titan is really good value for money, and from one test drive seems to deliver everything the Scott can. The geometry of the Scott may have the edge .... very difficult decision.
  4. I did look at Trek. Great bikes and good support. Could not find that deal! Even looked at Spez. Epic Comp Carbon Evo. Also same price. The RC Team is great ... now closer to R68k Best deals are on the Spez. Scott 930 and Titan. All between R40 and R45k.
  5. OK. I assume you are talking about the RC Team alloy frame, 100 mm travel?
  6. I am considering the Titan Cypher Elite as an all-round XC / Trail bike. Trails during the week, races over weekend and the odd stage race. Specs seems good and design OK. Still trying to find a open bicycle shop to get a feel for the bike. Anyone with experience or know of a review? How does the bike compare to the Scott Spark 930 for example which seems to be priced similar.
  7. A bit late to this topic. I am also interested in the Titan Cypher Elite. I have no experience with the bike. The price, the quality, the spec and the local support tics all the boxes. How does the bike compare to Scott for example?
  8. This is true, the special is a saving of +/- 35%.
  9. Great bike for sure! Out of interest, is it the Epic comp evo or epic expert evo? And the travel on the back shock, 100 mm?
  10. Yip. both on special. +/- same price. This is probably the only time I will be able to afford them. Slightly worried about the brain on the Spez and the possibility of something going wrong / maintenance costs.
  11. Tried Pyga. They did not get back to me. But the bikes is very impressive
  12. I am torn between these two as a dual-purpose Trail / XC bike. Both good. Scott may have the edge on technical trails, Specialized maybe faster on XC…? Anyone with experience and / or advice?
  13. Thanks. Great review. You do not find the reach a bit short?
