Hi Bikehub, I'm new to this forum and looking to see if anyone has any views or recommendatinos on two models of MTBs. I am lookimg to purchase an entry/mid-entry level MTB, mainly for fitness to be honest. But also with some decent components that in 2-3 years, if I get the opportunity for some single track trail access that there is no need to start upgrading components. Budget wise, I am looking at either the Silverback Sports Spectra (3x9 or 2 x 10) or the Titan Racing Rogue 1 x 12 . There was also a Giant Talon 4, but the components (Shimano) looked to be have been on the lowest possible level (example Shimano Tourney rear derailleur). The Silverback contains Shimano components rear derailleur (Shimano Acera) and the front derailleur (Shimano Altus) , while the Titan Racing has the SRAM Eagle SX rear derailleur and Shimano brakes. If anyone has any steer in relation to these two models for a newbie that would be appreciated.
