Alcapone Posted January 24, 2014 Share Please help guys.... Im looking at buying a new Titan. What would be the best one to buy? Im quite a novice rider so not to clued up on all the ins n outs of these sorta things. Any feedback would greatly appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johny Bravo Posted January 24, 2014 Share A silverback or Merida. . Dont limit your options. See which one of the three feels best and offers the best value and/or a service plan. Edited January 24, 2014 by Johny Bravo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feetup Posted January 24, 2014 Share i would assume the most expensive Titan would be the best Titan? Wil6 and VicanZA 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johny Bravo Posted January 24, 2014 Share i would assume the most expensive Titan would be the best Titan?But that would not mean the best bike. Please for heavens sake, if you buy a Titan, dont ever buy it from Sportmans warehouse, the way they build bikes are just scary. Titans are rather porky and heavy. Maybe include a budget, what your riding will consist of, your weight, age etc. Some of the experienced guys on the hub will assist you better than some greedy salesman.

scotty Posted January 24, 2014 Share Knowing the price range you interested in would help and whether you want HT or DS. if it was value for money i would choose Silverback, but if not i would look at something else. Hilton. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcapone Posted January 25, 2014 Share WOW thanks everyone that's replied. Appreciate it. I was actually looking at Sportmans W/house. Really glad I didn't take one. I want a 29er Hardtail. I have max R15K to spend. There's a guys selling a "Concept" on here. Would that be a good buy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VicanZA Posted January 25, 2014 Share Look at the low 20k mark and offer 15k, if it's listed at 15k offer 9k... That's how we roll on the hub, the list price should always be the max u gonna pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just over 10kg and it had some cool upgrades as well. For 15k you can pick up a bargain. Just be patient feetup 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johny Bravo Posted January 25, 2014 Share I am 1,75, so def a medium frame. Momsen at the moment have some great deals. Honestly that would be a much better option than Titan. Plenty of Hubbers have Momsen and they love them. If I had to chose another bike besides my Specialized machines, I would go Momsen no doubt.
