MAD13 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Hi all .I am looking at upgrading so the two that I am looking at is the Gaint Talon 1 OR the KTM Ultra fun . My budget is up to R15000 . I do some short endurance events ( PTA Boys High 24 h ) and then some medium distance races 35 km - 70 km . Any advice on witch one will be the better one and if there is any other makes that I should look at . Thank you for advice and input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtypot Posted November 28, 2014 Share For that budget you could get a far superior bike on the 2nd hand market. That's what I'd do. MAD13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtypot Posted November 28, 2014 Share Have a look in the classifieds - there's quite a few options in there.Some near the top of the list: This one is R16,000 but I'm sure you could negotiate down - https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/114926-scott-scale-pro-carbon-2012/ Full sus? Good spec - https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/114823-merida-big99-xt-m-2013-large-29/ Santa Cruz, again with slight negotiations - https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/114781-price-drop2013-santa-cruz-highball/ GT a bit closer to home? - https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/114691-gt-zaskar-expert-2013/ Have a look and see what grabs your fancy. But essentially you can get a decent carbon hard tail with great components for that price. jules1976 and MAD13 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
