HO Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 I'm looking at upgrading to a soft tail with a budget of around R15k. The Merida 120 800 does appeal to me, but is there any better alternatives?
ChUkKy Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 Yes, Giant Trance X2 you can get a 2010 model for around R16k new. Good deal n all.
HO Posted April 13, 2011 Author Posted April 13, 2011 what type of riding do you do? I'm a weekend warrior. A littlebit of everything and the odd race here and there.
Frosty Ice Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 Well I bought a Merida 120-1500 for 15.5k! Such a sweet bike! Brand new, full XT, awesome shocks and great for both trail and XCM rides. So many marathons are tending towards more and more single track, trail bikes are becoming more usefull for them if you not planing on winning! Can definately recomened it.
rouxtjie Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 The 120 is a nice bike but take one for a demo ride before you put your money down...Have you considered secondhand, there are some good deals on the hub from time to time especially with the 29'er boom. You could get yourself an awesome bike within your budget if you are patient.
Luegar Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 Frosty, also looking at the Merida 120-1500, just been quoted 17.9k. Would like to know where you got yours for 15.5k.
DJG Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 bought mine a month or so ago, fantastic all round. I'll recommend it to anyone (120 1500d)
