splat Posted August 15, 2016 Share is there a new stumpy on the way too? R150k for the S-Works fattie (with Ohlins) https://www.specialized.com/za/en/bikes/mountain/stumpjumper-fsr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 15, 2016 Share R150k for the S-Works fattie (with Ohlins) https://www.specialized.com/za/en/bikes/mountain/stumpjumper-fsrOuch. I like Ohlins, carbon rims, eagle & a full carbon frame together with guide RS carbon brakes as much as the next person... but fro R 62.500 more than the expert... No fanks. And the Expert's pricing really does show what good value the Giant is. R 70k or so, with better brakes (okay, Guide R vs XT so sorta the same) and XT vs X1 (same points) but with their carbon rims and with Fox Factory level suspension. That's R 12k - R 17k less than the stumpy (at 15:1 & 14:1 for the USD) (Deon) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But ito the spec you get for the price... VERY hard to beat the big G. Unless you get the spaz at a clearance sale, when they go for STUPID prices.

Headshot Posted August 15, 2016 Share The R has raised itself from its depths of depression so prices should all get a little better than at present. Surely? The base Enduro at $3k is good value is it not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizkit031 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Looking at the pricing for the Uk it works out to about 50k for the Comp model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 15, 2016 Share Looking at the pricing for the Uk it works out to about 50k for the Comp model.Depends entirely on the exchange rate at the time of purchase as to how the local price would be.Purchase in this case means the date at which the bikes landed in the country and / or Spaz SA was invoiced.

Who knows, their next model may even get you to see uranus... Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be less or more so that's why about. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted August 15, 2016 Share FYI the local pricing is on the Specialized website. If that's what you're trying to determine. nonky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonky Posted August 15, 2016 Share is there a new stumpy on the way too? "new" as in 2017 model (new specs)? Yes. But the frame was updated in 2016, so no major changes there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig82 Posted August 15, 2016 Share I know people joke around about giving up body parts for awesome bikes but this new 29er Enduro in Sworks form seriously got me thinking about whether I would do it. I single testicle? I think so! Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
