ADe Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 Anyone ever had a silverback? im looking at getting one but the brand name is fairly new, just wanna know if its a good brand or not, any comments will be most helpfullI only have a Silverback road bike, so can not comment on MTB. They are a well known brand, is reliable and real value for money. Compare components on a Silverback with other bikes in the same price range. They compare really well.
covie Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 Had a SB when i started they are in fact great bikes, but since they sell them at a decent price point people tend to look down on them. They are tough and great value. Back in the day my entire phoenix bike cost 6k, i thought hell let me upgrade the frame to something lighter, ordered a morewood kwela frame for 7k (just the ht frame) proceeded with stripping down my bottom of the range SB, weighed the frame, only to fine out that my "bottom of the range" phoenix frame weighs 40 grams heavier than the top of the range morewood HT frame. Moral of the story, some people perceive them as being cheap low value bikes, they are not, they are well designed have great geometry, and have excellent groupsets, at sometimes half the price of the "more expensive brands" Go for it. Get one. arendoog, Caerus and scotty 3
Pieter1 Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 Yea I have a Ventura and have no complaints. Good value for money. Get one.
TNT1 Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 Had a SB when i started they are in fact great bikes, but since they sell them at a decent price point people tend to look down on them. They are tough and great value. Like Giants and Raleighs... arendoog and mooky 2
Rudi Pollard Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 I currently ride the 2011 Silverback Ventura, and I honestly can't fault it. Great build quality, great components for the price. Have been riding it for the past year, and it is bullet proof. The only upgrade I have made is on the wheel set, but that is because I crashed the other set... You won't make a mistake going with silverback!
Purnjap Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 Have Silverback carbon hardtail, great bike. They flew it down to CT and repaired the frame when I broke the cable clips. And it came with full XTR groupset... what more can you ask for?

covie Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 Like Giants and Raleighs... TNT is a roadie his opinion is null and void
