Alph7 Posted August 18, 2014 Share I am about to upgrade from my Giant XTC, battling to decide on a bike, have decided on dual suspension as I will be doing longer events like Berg & Bush and Joberg2C. Budget roughly R50k. Advice please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 18, 2014 Share For me it'd be between the Vipa and RM. Alph7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTG7 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Have just got the VIPA, from a anthem X 29er.All I can say is WOW. Awesome bike, climbs like a dream, super stable on the decent. Point and shoot responsive (a morewood Zula with big wheels)Enjoy whatever you get. Brandon P and Alph7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrantRH Posted August 18, 2014 Share Take a look at the Epic Elite, just over 50k, but great ride. If it were me, it would be between that and the Vipa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alph7 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Thanks for all the input guys. Getting an Element to test ride is a mission, same for Vipa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwan Kemp Posted August 19, 2014 Share Another vote for the Vipa. Try Cycle Logic for a demo in your area Lots of info and user reviews over herehttps://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/131282-momsen-vipa-build-review/ Full review over here:https://www.bikehub.co.za/features/_/featured/reviews/review-momsen-vipa-r1476 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johny Bravo Posted August 19, 2014 Share Take a look at the Epic Elite, just over 50k, but great ride. If it were me, it would be between that and the Vipa.Best value bike here for sure. Only 29er dual suspension on your list that can fit 2 bottle cages in the frame, also has some essential tools built into the frame, the swat system. Plenty available to test ride, and it has proven itself over and over. Simple choice really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
