MrJacques Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Looks nice. I'd also be interested in some feedback once you have ridden it a few times. What do they go for?

Pieterg Posted January 22, 2014 Author Posted January 22, 2014 My sponsor Hydro West Hydraulics Rustenburg paid R24500 at Dingo's in Potchefstroom for it.
Pieterg Posted January 28, 2014 Author Posted January 28, 2014 My new wheels.Can't wait to go and ride my first dualie SilverRider 1
Maniax Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 A friend of mine bought one. He let me have a go. One of the best rides yet! Congrats. That thing is smooth! cobus3000 1
cobus3000 Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 I have one! Best bike ever. Had to play around with the rear suspension a bit to get the correct "feel". Now climbs like a mountain goat! I never lock the rear into "Climb" anymore. Just leave it in "Trail". Changed the tyres to GEAX TNT and changed the rear cassette to 11 - 36. Came out with 11 - 34. My first 29er so need the extra few teeth on the gears A lot of guys think this is just a trail bike, but I have done a few races and nothing wrong with it for normal XC! You will love it!
Pieterg Posted February 21, 2014 Author Posted February 21, 2014 Nice,racing my first xc tomorrow will give see hw it goes
Hairy Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Was looking at on the otherday, not a bad bike. Will be testing one out in the next week or two and also it's 650b sibbling
Pieterg Posted February 24, 2014 Author Posted February 24, 2014 Het die naweek vir die eerste keer met die Sprada ge race.Wat n fantastese bike klim goed 110% op die down hills en 150% in die single tracks.Ek het n lekker dual gehad met n paar 26" maar down hill en single track kon ek hulle uit mekaar ry. Kan die fiets vir almal aanbeveel cobus3000 1
cobus3000 Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Once the suspension is tuned in for your weight it is a dream. I did the xterra full in Grabouw on Sunday. Track was gnarly, but the Sprada just soaked it up! Was even passing guys on the climbs
bullet77 Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 @Pieterg and @cobus3000 are you still happy with the sprada1? I'm trying to decide between sprada1 and anthem x1.It will be my first duallie so I'm itching to get it but torn between these 2 bikes.Any advice will be welcome with regards to helping me choose.

GaryP Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 Hi, I have this years Anthem X1. I LOVE it, it is light and fast for a dual suspension bike! However, my first ever mtb was a Silverback 26er and I still have it - it is now my daughters bike..! I really think whichever you go for you will be happy. However, I would advise the Giant because I am biased toward it Ciao.
bullet77 Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 I have the exact same problem... first DS and also between Anthem and Sprada... I'm leaning towards the sprada with its specs and travel but still can't take my eyes off the anthem. It is a thing of beauty.
