shaun85 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Ok so I have R10K to spend on much first 29er and would appreciate any opinions of the two bikes. The Titan is better specced but weighs as much as the moon, while the GT is quite a bit lighter with lower components but better fork.

SteveS Posted May 30, 2013 Share Apprently you can get the Tytan 29R Pro for like three garnd more. That is alot of bang for your buck. Full XT groupset and No Tubes Arch EX wheelset (with XT hubs). Just the wheelset and Groupset is worth R 13000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wimmas Posted May 30, 2013 Share The GT looks good! Also have a look at the Merida big nine tfs 500 which also has a tk recon silver solo air shock, XT DR and shimano M505 pedals to save you an extra R300 http://www.merida-bi...ig.Nine TFS 500 Oh and it has the Maxxis Crossmark UST tyres which can immedatiely be converted to tubeless Not the most attractive bike IMO but what matters is the components Edited May 30, 2013 by Wimmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun85 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Yeah the merida isn't the hottest bike- the frame bend by the headset is strange. I ride a merida road bike and love it, so no brand bashing here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_black_stig Posted May 30, 2013 Share The GT Zaskar and the Silverback Vida 2 have very closely matched specs. and either of the 2 will work Another local alternative is the Monsen AL329 Race specs. (the rims and the wheel is better than the GT & Vida2) and you can get 1 from R10K to R11K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sacrosanct Posted June 3, 2013 Share Get a Momsen AL329 with sun ringle inferno rims just under 10k, one of the lighest under 10k. Or spend a little more and get a Momsen AL329 R-type with ZTR Arch wheelset, air fork and racing ralph tyres! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun85 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Yeah its a tough decision. The Titan and Silverback have the best specs. But the GT looks the hottest my opinion. Tricky as the web doesn't have many reviews of any of the bikes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
