Hendri van Greunen Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 I need advice please? Want to upgrade from my Mongoose Canaan FS with XT group set to a 29er. Options are a 2015 new Trek Superfly 8 with a combo between SLX, XT and Deore, 2015 Giant anthem X1, SLX, XT and Deore or a Cannondale Trigger 2013 with XT groupset. I do mostly cross country! Budget R25k max. The Trek and Giant are brand new.
Onegear Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 All great bikes, so get the one which make you feel happy, and puts a grin on your face everytime you look at it in anticiaption to ride it !
Big Ray Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 Get the one you want the most, you have to ride it.
PeterF Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 The Trigger is a 130mm trail bike, if you do mostly cross country riding I don't think you could go wrong with either the Trek or the Giant. I have seen the Giant Anthem in action in cross country races and it is a very capable cross country race machine.
Hendri van Greunen Posted July 24, 2015 Author Posted July 24, 2015 Where are you? City?Yes, Pretoria with nice trails close by!

That is the tricky part, full XT, great shocks, but it is a trail bike and second hand. The Giant and Trek are both 2015 brand new but with Slx, Deore and XT rear derailleur. Guess I need to get on them to test! THX
