Specialized Camber 29 vs Camber Comp 29

 

So what's the verdict:

or

 

https://www.specialized.com/za/en/men/bikes/mountain/trail/camber-comp-29/115520

 

Is the difference really worth the odd R10k (for someone like me)?

 

Also new to the game

 

Bought a Specialized Hardrock just to start out with four months ago to see what all the hype is about.

Immediately fell in love with the trails and more tech than XC after getting stitches in my elbow second time out at G-spot (Stellenbosch)

Haha 

Obviously now I know I need something more than the Hardrock (awesome entry level bike btw after upgrading handlebars/tyres/brakes and I will definitely be keeping it)

 

So I'm ready for my new longer term bike, but still on a tight budget, thus the begging question:  

Specialized Camber 29 vs Camber Comp 29 !?!

 

Thanks guys!

The short answer is yes, the difference is noticeable between the two. The Revelation on the Comp is in a different league, the 2 x 11 will mean you walk a lot less, and the Roval wheelset is much better than the Spesh-branded ones on the cheaper model. For comparison also consider something like the Trek Fuel EX 9.7.

Buy the Comp. You're going to regret buying the entry level model....

I reckon you should buy the best you can afford - then when you upgrade, you have a good frame to hang everything onto. I would (and have myself) go with the carbon comp

it will cost more to eventually upgrade the fork (and you will) and some other components.

Rather get the Comp
