New MTB

[GraemeS]

Some advise please.

 

I'm considering buying a new MTB and am currently looking at the Momsen SL729 and the Titan Carbon 29R Pro. Both are carbon framed hardtails and both have, to a lesser and more degree, Shimano XT components. These bikes are the price range that I can afford.

 

I'm currently riding a 26" GT Zaskar Carbon Pro (large), which is about four years old. I weight 86kg and am 1,78m tall. I complete a fair amount of marathons, am now a regular in the sani2c and want to start doing other multi-stage events.

 

I would really appreciated any comment or advice on the two bikes, or any alternatives.

buy that one that looks the best so when you walk into your bike room you think "now thats a cool bike"

How does the 38/26 chainwheel work out for you? do you miss the granny gear?
