Potatoshark Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 Hi all My girlfriend and I are new to cycling and MTB. We're looking to buy a Silverback Sola 3 (~R11000) for myself and a Silverback Splash 1(~R7000) for her. Quite sure about cycling and not wanting to buy second hand. Any better suggestions for those price ranges?
Lurch Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 Like I mentioned in the office, Titan and Merida will have some decent options in those price ranges too.I know a lot of happy Silverback owners though so am sure that you'd be happy with those.

Any better suggestions for those price ranges?I ride a 2014 silverback splash1, more than enough for me potting around.It's stood up to multiple falls, tree hugging (riding into trees) - and it rolls very fast I got a ladies saddle on it, everything else is stock standard.Looking at replacing tyres now.. 18mths down the line...

Any better suggestions for those price ranges? About 14 months ago I made the same mistake as you are about to make....buying the girlfriend a bike (as well). Don't do it!!!!!!!!!

Any better suggestions for those price ranges?I am a long term Silverback fan and would say that those would be good choices. However as Lurch has mentioned Titan and Merida also make good bikes. Try and test ride a few and see which one you prefer and get that bike.
