Review: Silverback Signo Tecnica

[rudi-h]

cool bike, i really dig it!  probably the only HT bike from any of the main stream manufacturers that i'll buy due to the longer travel / slacker head angle geometry.  For some reason the other guys out there just don't have any bikes in this category. (I'd still go for a cotic or on-one though)

 

big issue with the mixed wheel size though.  not keen on keeping track of different size tyres, different tubes, not being able to buy wheels in sets etc...  

 

They also could have sold it stock with 800mm bars though, that way everybody can cut to suit.

This bike isn't going to appeal to the mass market or beginner riders, so why go for the muted colours? Personally I think a bright metallic green would better suit this bike..but that's just my opinion

I think you actually meant fire engine Red with Gold decals........ oh, wait............. you're not Tony Stark, my apologies [emoji12]

 

All silliness aside Red with Gold could work for this bike.

Props to Silverback for developing such a bike. Not only the 279 thing but the factory long travel hard tail bike shows that they are with the times and prepared to innovate.

 

This may just be a bike for me to do the longer distance rides on. Currently have single speed NS and the Reign. Neither are decent for 50km... I really miss doing the Argus and long peninsula rides which I did once a month or so but keeping a nice HT XC bike for that was a waste. This bike I could use daily for commuting and riding table mountain and other trails in my back yard.
