Spark 950 vs. Outland 1.1 vs. Superfly FS7 ??

So looking at these three weapons:

All of them just a little shy of R30k.

 

So far I'm favouring the Scott, mostly because of the remote lockout for the rear shock.

Any other thoughts in the details between the three?

My favorite would be the Trek, that color is :thumbup: .

Reba and monarch shock is the next on the plus list.

Also the rims should go a long way.

 

Those said, i believe it is quite a personal choice.

Is a remote lockout something that you'd miss?  I don't miss it on the front but maybe on the rear?

No its not. Flip the lever on the monarch and you're there. Monarch is a better shock anyway. RockShox fork is far better and the wheels are light years ahead

Just like I dont miss that hole that used to be in my head:#

Im glad I'm asking cause I was swaying towards the scott but now I got some more studying to do.

The Trek  - without a shadow of a doubt. The Reba and Monarch combo is fantastic and it has a good blend of drivetrain components. 

 

The Fuji also looks like it has a pretty long TT, so it won't be as nippy in the bends as the other two.

The nice thing about the Scott is that you will probably get a new triangle at some point after yours breaks.

 

I would choose Trek.

According to the spec's the Scott is a 9 speed!

It's not, though. XT doesn't come in 9 speed at that level, and the front is a double. AFAIK you don't get matching shifters with 2x & 9 speed. 

 

Plus, it's cycle grab.
