Which dual suspension bike to buy at around R20 000

[frodo0304]

I currently ride a 2013 Merida Big Nine TFS500.

 

In the next couple of months I need to start thinking about upgrading it, and I would like to start doing my research.

 

Which would be good bikes to consider at a budget of around R20 000?

 

I would like to "upgrade" in order to enhance my riding skills and speed.

 

Thanks.

Where do you ride and what is your goals? If you ride,for example, stellenbosch area and want to have loads of fun going down, not caring too much for your time to get to the top, giant trance, spaz camber or stumpy. Also silverback's trail bike. Can't give opinion on xc bikes. Maybe anthem x - price? Look at the classifieds.

Not sure if they have any stock left but Cyclelab have a special on Fuji Outland for R20 000.00, sale ends tomorrow.

2nd hand Giant Anthem. Great all-rounder. Can't beat it 

 

Otherwise I'd get a Camber, especially if looking for a more trail-oriented bike
