My buddy wants to buy a Dual MTB for up to R40k.

I suggest spending R38 000 on the bike and R2 000 on a good grammar and spelling course.

Oooh....this should be fun

[Trance Dance]

What does he want to use it for? Anthem is a great bike, as is the Trek.

He want a new bike, I think he will go to R50k as well if he find what he wants.

Go for an overprized bike......Specialized is da best!!! Does he wanna race or trail ride!!

[rouxtjie]

blixem...lekker budget hoor

 

Does he want a 26'er or 29'er

If you are spending that much on a bike you will want to try a test ride before you buy. Just imagine you get good value for money on the components etc but hate riding the bike because (say) its geometry is too aggressive and you feel like you are falling off the front the whole time.

Shoe boet, then the sky's the limit. Try something different then. What about a Santa Cruz Blur carbon or Morewood Zula. For 50k the bike's are all good.

[MTBer wannabee]

with no disrespect to your buddy, but I assume that he is not a pro rider. If he was then he would already know what to get and not have to ask. Therefore my advice would be to get whichever bike looks the coolest and he is sure to get the attention he is looking for. Look for key words like carbon, ultra, pro, elite etc.

(ps. You posted in the rant and rave section, so I am having a rant) dont take it too seriously

Its hard to buy a bad bike under R20 000 - let alone R40 000. Maybe he should revise his budget downwards - not upwards.

Giant Anthem 29er, under 30k, then new wheels and stuff, well below 50k!!!

[Caerus]

Santa Cruz or Morewood? As someone else asked. What type of riding does he do or want to be doing?

 

There are too many questions that need to be answered
