The one tha you like best after riding it. Any number of people can tell you what they think but at the end of the day your ass will sit in the saddle and pedal.

 

Test them all and see what you like. Make sure the shop selling the bike sets it up properly.

The Titan is actually a Merida and half the price.

 

You can get a Titan carbon race 29er with great components for around R 16500

Out of those the giant is the best, and most responsive, the merida is deadfoot, and the titan is value for money but not great. But rather see if you can afford a XTC.

Silverback maybe... Vida 3 or 4 should be around those price categories. Vida 2 is good value for money IMO
