Hi guys

I'm looking to buy an entry- mid level MTB..

My budget is +- R 7k. It's main purpose is to start enjoying Cape towns out doors and lose some weight (i presently weigh 134kgs) until I can single track.

I have shopped around and there are three bikes that the shops around town have put forward (see below)

Could anyone give me some advice on which one is the better bike OR, if there is a better bike out there that I should look at- please point me in the right direction.

Any advice would really be appreciated.

Thanks

K

All three bikes are similarly specced, and will be a good buy to start you off with.

The Giant Talon I see is a 29er, which should put you in the right direction, irrespective of what everyone says.

 

GT also offer good value for money, and the GT Karokoram 2.0 will also fall within your price class.

Locally designed Momsen bikes are also good.
