Fr3dd13 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Hi Guys and Gals. I have looked at a lot of bikes, but can't seem to decide between these two bikes. The Merida is an all xt bike with the exception of the brakes. The Scott will be upgraded to full xt if I buy it, and I do like the fox shock on that. It will be about R1700 more for the Scott. I am really leaning towards this one, but want to know if you think that this bike is worth the extra amount of money? Thanks in advance for your input.

CycleMomSpeedster Posted November 15, 2014 Share I like both. Great bikes. I own a merida but guess the scott sounds like a great deal for you .. Enjoy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenReaper Posted November 16, 2014 Share Both are nice bikes and both have their positives and negatives,for my money I would go with the Scott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisan Posted November 16, 2014 Share I like Scott mostly for their "lightweightness". Especially for the alluminium frames which come close to some carbon frames in terms of weight. ...but I'm also biased toward Scott... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fr3dd13 Posted November 20, 2014 Share So I took the Scott out on the dirt now, and WOW. What a bike. Love it, and I am a lot faster over the loose stuff now. My friend ended up buying the Merida, so I had a go on that, and it is a good bike, but I made the right choice. Thanks for all the advice.
