veeCT Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Hi I am looking for advice on some entry level bikes. I am very new to the whole MTB thing so my knowledge is fairly limited. I have looked at the Axis A90 and the Titan Ryde. Both are under R4000. Any advice on these bikes? My max budget is R5000. Thanks in advance.

SAGecko Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Yup, Velomonati is on the money. I doubt you'll find one Hubber who would recommend the Axis or the Titan over one of the bikes he listed. Maybe the Scale (Tora fork, WTB wheels, XT front derailleur) and look at changing the rear derailleur at some point. The Silverback is quite nicely specified too. But I think the Rocky is the best of the bunch. You'd be one very, very happy camper on that steed.
