J trailx Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 Ride mostly tokia, jonkershoek... Started doing xc events, which bike suited for both?Can only have one bike!
Stellies_gaz Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 Specialized Camber/Stumpjumper, Cannondale Trigger, Pyga OneTen. They'd be my top 4 for the type of riding you do. Could add the Rocky Mountain Element In there too.
Flowta Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 I would say Giant Anthem X (120mm front 100mm rear), Giant stance (120mm front and back) or Giant Trance (140mm front and rear) depending on which fits your riding style. All will fall into your requirements
J trailx Posted September 14, 2014 Author Posted September 14, 2014 Was checking out camber,stumpy. Is the stance from gaint the 2015 model?
J trailx Posted September 14, 2014 Author Posted September 14, 2014 Still working on a budget, just want to get idea what I'm looking for.
Flowta Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 Was checking out camber,stumpy. Is the stance from gaint the 2015 model?Yes, had a look at one on Friday. Very nice bike.
J trailx Posted September 14, 2014 Author Posted September 14, 2014 Why in your opinion the 650 over 29?
Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 I ride a Giant Anthem X 29er, 120mm Epicon fork, fox float CTD 100mm rear and am absolutely loving it.Giant contact switch dropper and all for under R30K.Well worth a look.
DJR Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 I would say Giant Anthem X (120mm front 100mm rear), Giant stance (120mm front and back) or Giant Trance (140mm front and rear) depending on which fits your riding style. All will fall into your requirements + 1 from me. Best bang for your buck at the moment. You can have 2 of these for about the price of 1 Pyga / Momsen / Ibis / Yeti and although your riding buddies might not drool themselves into dehidration over your bikes, they also won't be able to shake you off on the climbs or the downhills. (F.w.i.w. my 2c)
DJR Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 Why in your opinion the 650 over 29? Whichever one you like and feels more comfortable on.
J trailx Posted September 14, 2014 Author Posted September 14, 2014 Thanks for the input. Hard decision to make....
Johny Bravo Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 Spez Camber Comp CarbonBest do it all out there. Cant be beaten.
