Demo Full Suspension Bike

[harrah]

I am buying a new full suspension bike for XC very soon. I am toying with the idea of a 29er. I have never ridden one, so I'd like to ride one a little around a trail before I make a decision.

 

I have tried a few shops and the best that they will do is let me ride it around the parking lot or could potentially arrange something in a month.

 

Are there any shops or people who would be willing to allow me to ride on groenkloof or some other track that has at least some technical bits?

 

Ideally I would like to test a XL, but a L would do.

 

If it helps, I am thinking of the Silverback Mercury 26 or 29.

 

 

 

 

A small token of my gratitude:

Try Linden. They have demo bikes which you can book out.

I was so confused.. Specialized Demo for XC... in 29"??

 

I've also not ridden one, thankfully!

Unfortunately, they were one of the ones that I tried originally

 

Eventually I phoned the distributor and arranged it through them.
