It is quite heavy at the bike but from my understanding and according to specs, rear triangle are carbon…..welcome to double check and confirm. Valid advice, thank you!

Noted thank you very much. No time frame - but I hear you saying about the 920 and 930 but I would most prob slowly upgrade parts to my liking. Overall this bike is a beast for me (yes you do get better bikes) , enjoy riding it and most comfortable bike and setup I’ve ever had, but I dont like the NX shifting, not smooth at all and only have the bike for a month. I noticed that a fork with bigger stantions will make big difference and carbon wheels. I appreciate all the opinions and advice, much appreciated.

Which RockShox will you guys recommend? The current Fox, I like the plush feel but as previous user said the 32mm stantions will become a issue when riding harder. Rockshox that is compatible with 3 way lockout or Fox?

Hi all Sorry to jump in here…..so Koeberg is open, use to cycle from Durbanville to do a few laps there, do you need to apply for annual permit or can we (bunch of riders) arrive each with their drivers liscense to do lap?

Thanks for all the replies! I’ve done a proper bike fit and very comfortable on the bike. Yes I will fit a dropper and already don’t like the NX shifting especially in the muddy condition ls after my ride this morning. Will look at GX AXS shifting. I’m already on cleats - had that before so use to it. Also a bit worried about the fork and 32mm stantions. It wasn’t worth it for me to by higher spec bike as I got this bike for very good deal brand new. Just glad to be back on the bike again!

Hi all Back into mountain biking after 4 years, so good to be back although a lot to work on my fitness and weight, already drop 4kgs in 2 weeks. Bought myself Scott Spark RC Comp with the idea to upgrade parts in future. Currently Sram NX groupset, alu wheels / alu handlebar / alu seatpost and shimano slx brakes FOX 32 Float Rhythm 120mm Fork What will you upgrade if this bike was yours? My current weight is 98kg as my target goal is 88kg, will the suspension be fine doing stage races ect? Or should fork be upgraded as well? Looking forward to your advice and tips!

Where can I find ant+ dongle and extension cable for laptop to use on kicker?

Anyone on this thread owning a Kickr Core Zwift ????? Please inbox me

Thank you for the kind feedback. The TR bikes still to arrive in SA, agree that it will be better to see them in person and then decide. I’m really like the white and bkqck frame of the expert, the comp is better spec with carbon wheels and handlebar. Will wait for them to arrive at LBS

Good evening Hubbers! I've been out of MTBing for 4 years now and missed it a lot, been doing it for 12 years before ending it in Covid with the idea of buying a bike soon......but financially couldn't afford it and hopefully soon I will be on the trails again, can't wait! So back then I was on a S-Works Epic and yes now they are waaaaaaaaaay out of my budget and looking for a more comfortable ride with at least 120mm Fork as I heard this is the way to go nowadays, yes I was use to carbon wheels and top end specs, but feel I don't need that again, for it's now to get back in the saddle, get fit and loose the weight I've gained. So here is the options I'm looking at and obviously budget but need value for money as well, parts can always be upgraded, but for now......get the wheels turning again....... https://titanracingbikes.com/bikes/cypher-dc-carbon-expert-my24/ https://titanracingbikes.com/bikes/cypher-dc-carbon-comp-my24/ https://bike-addict.co.za/collections/scott-dual-suspension-bikes/products/scott-spark-rc-comp-green-2023 Please share your thoughts, recommendations and opinions.....no brand shaming please! 😉 Much appreciated!

Anyone on this thread that owns the new Wahoo Kickr Core Zwift One? Will this be compatible and easy to use with 12speed MTB? For example how is this with training programs / ERG Mode / Riding routes and climbs, easy switching gears ect?

Any news on this? Koeberg trails open?

Hi all I’m in the market again to buy a MTB, I’ve always been used to riding 100mm travel bike but ever since I stopped cycling for a few years (covid and financial impact) 120mm came out. Obviously I gained a few kg’s and is now +-100kg….wich one will work for me better? Yes….hopefully cycling will make me shake a few kgs!

Dear all , I'm looking at buying this model mountain bike and would like your thoughts on this bike and if you ride one yourself, please be in contact. Specs of the bike: * SRAM GX Groupset * SRAM Guide RS Brakeset * FOX Step Cast 34 120mm fork * Rockshox Micro Brain Rear * Roval Control Carbon Wheelset Would like to know riding style, as I'm used be riding S-Works Epic 3 years back and felt way to aggressive for me and hard as hell. Your opinions will be much appreciated!

Awesome! Many thanks!

Hi all , Looking to buy a Scott Spark RC Team AXS model. Anyone that ride the same bike that can share some info regarding the comfort of the ride; suspension??? Also would like to know if a lot dirt gets into the new internal shock. seem to be a place where a lot of dirt can get in. Your honest opinions please

Thank you for the info! Much appreciated

Good evening all MTB'ers and Hubbers If all goes well I will be back on the trails again by hopefully end of May after 3 years of no bike and riding due the financial impact of covid 19......YES......only recovering now 😞 Been a member of the club since 2010 but obviously since 2021 not, so I'm really looking forward to get back in the saddle and meeting like minded people again.....I can do with some motivation to get rid of my "bier pens" and "wine drinking" 🙂 Is it safe to ride alone on some of the Tygerberg Trails, I use to ride Bloemendal; Majik Forrest and a lot of the Klipheuwel / Fair Cape Trails alone....was all fine back then but surely things have changed. Feel free to share some feedback and even contacts for joining groups..... I live in Pinehurst, Durbanville See ya on the trails soon! Best Regards

Blêrrie belaglik man!!!! Waar gaan dit stop…..Specialized is waaaaaaay over priced as mens kyk na ander brands wat tans hulle nuwe bikes launch R295k vir ‘n fiets!!!! Faaaaaakit finansier hom en betaal nog meer vir die ding …..maar o’ja daar moet mos s-works of specialized op fiets staan anders is jy nie cool nie

Didn\'t worked out for Trek....so bye bye Specialized!!!!

Jeeezzzz I really hope that all of you are pro’s, didn’t know weight of a bike will make you a better rider, ride more and loose some weight, much better! I think this is great value for money and if I’m correct Bike Addict sold them for R109 000 at one stage, so even better! S-works / Specialized over rated, R240 000 for a bike is ridiculous, but still people buy them / finance them because of the brand. Give Titan Racing the credit for developing well priced / speced bikes and I’m 200% sure there is more to come

Hi Hubbers I’ve been out of cycling for almost 2years and keen to get back into mountain biking. I’m looking at any Scott Spark bike from 2021 upwards but on previous bike I had , I was Large. My height is 1.84m Most people is telling me when buying a Scott Spark , I should get an XL???? Weird for me as I don’t want to be uncomfortable on bike, most bike shops don’t have demo models to test ect. Any advice or info you can share with me will be much appreciated.

Ek weet nie hoekom nie, juis die rede hoekom ek vra. Het ook nog nie die fiets nie, maar dit is goed om te weet en jou voorstel maak sin.

Mirrag Hubbers! Enige van julle wat al 'n nuwe Spark het of gery het? Wil graag uit vind oor die suspensie agter, by LBS gehoor dat daar pivot issues is, so nou moet jy elke keer die shock aflblaas , oop maak onder die frame (glo die nuwe tegnologie) en dan pivot vas draai en dan weer shock opblaas? Klink na moeite en ek oorweeg dalk in toekoms een. Neem kennis ek is geen bike mechanic nie en het nog nooit kennis gehad oor die tipe goed nie so ek hoop ek verduidelik reg ???? Julle terugvoering oor die suspensie en general review van die spark sal nice wees. Dankie

BRILLIANT!!!! Kudos to Titan once again!
