cjl Posted July 19, 2013 Share I love my morewood zula, but think it is time for the "29er thing". Can`t decide witch is best within my budget. Looking at the Giant Anthem advanced (carbon), Merida carbon and then the Pyga. All about same price bracket with Pyga maybe a bit more. Do mostly XC. Did sani2c twice and doing berg2bush this year. Week and weekend rides more district roads with here and there some technical sections. I am 185cm and weigh 102kg! Big question is iff the Pyga`s travell is to much for my kind of riding? Any suggestions?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted July 19, 2013 Share No, the pyga would fit very well. Definitely not too much travel. You could also have a look at the trance 29er. More comfortable than the anthem and more capable as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinnydabutcher Posted July 19, 2013 Share I went from Zula to a Spearfish - very similar in feel with the Spearfish feeling a bit `longer` on the top tube - more comfortable. Im 1.83 and the large Zula felt a bit cramped. There is a 2nd hand spearfish in the classifieds if you are looking for a large and ngala24 might be selling his small. That is my experience - never rode any of the other mentioned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(Deon) Posted July 19, 2013 Share Ja, you won't have many guys recommending Merida up against the two others. BrettCPT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brogue Posted July 19, 2013 Share Exactly in the order of your thread title. PYGA, then Giant and lastly Merida Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjl Posted July 19, 2013 Share Thanks for all the quick replies. Ok, merida then dropped from list for now! Suspension wise - maestro vs pyga, any views on climbing difference and pedal efficiency overall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
