chris_meowzit Posted April 28, 2015 Share Hi All, Im looking at these 2 bikes, 2014 Silverback Sola 4 vs 2015 Titan Trail and was looking for your guys input as to which bike would be better, I mainly ride relaxed trail type of riding with mates and need to get my own bike now. I see the SB has a few more Shimano components but is it worth it to go for a slightly older model with the more full Shimano components on the SB or just go straight for the Titan seeing it is newer model? what are your guys opinions?

garrethk Posted April 28, 2015 Share Another option is the Axis A40, similar spec to the Silverback, has remote lockout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
