splat Posted April 11, 2011 Share The Giant's tapered headtube, QR15 & Pressfit bearings appeal to me.But pick the one with the geometry best suited to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabawakee411 Posted April 11, 2011 Share The x1 looks really great and is super light silverback isnt bad but giant sells more bikes for a reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Solms Posted April 12, 2011 Share Giant has a fox fork and the silverback a rockshox reba. I'll take the fox fork anyday plus the full xt componenets and a more aggressive riding style frame. Try and get silverback to service your bike in SA. Good luck with that! Giant has the best service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bike Mob Posted April 12, 2011 Share Giant. No brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimby Posted April 12, 2011 Share I'm biased cos I just bought one - Giant all the way. There's no FS 29er from any brand that offers better value for money at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Face Plant Posted April 12, 2011 Share something about the angle of the rear shock doesnt look right to me on the Silverback? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranswurm Posted April 12, 2011 Share I was reading the Jan issue of What MTB this morning and they tested the Giant and rated it very highlyThey just gave the Giant wheels the thumbs down.So swap them out.Siverback is not even on their radar.

VroomSL Posted April 12, 2011 Share What's the price difference-if any? I think Silverback is about +- R 19000 and Giant is +- R 29,000 So 10K difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herman mtb'er Posted April 13, 2011 Share I am in te process of buying a 29er and is considering the Silverback. Hear your comment about prefering the Giant, but this is not an apple against apple comparison! I can get the Silverback for R17,000? Might be so that the Giant is a better mtb, but I cannot stretch my budget to R28,000, the best I can get the Giant for? Will I go wrong in buying the Silverback?
