Hilton. Posted September 19, 2012 Share Look out for the new 2013 Silverback Vida 1 that should be coming. Its slightly below the 2012 spec, but its still looks great. Should be around R15k or so. And should be the best value bike at that price point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorn199 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Super spec, super heavy though, im assuming weight is a consideration if someone is looking for aHTAgreed, but as a newbie, I was looking for reliability and durability from a bike, and I was impressed with the Momsen. Very pleased with it. Quote from another Momsen bike review: "It’s the heaviest of the lot, so it’s clear that Momsen is playing it safe. As manufacturers peel the grams off, warranty issues creep in and the last thing any new(ish) brand needs is a run of breakages. So it’s a little overbuilt, which will suit heavier riders looking for a solid, reliable rig. The ‘heavy rider’ issue came up often during the test.A look at the price tag and the spec list tells us that it’s a bang-for-buck bike, with top-level wheels...."
