elocke Posted October 9, 2016 Posted October 9, 2016 Hi all, New to the MTB purchasing scene and am currently looking at two bikes as entry level to getting started, but would appreciate some expert advice and maybe some personal experiences with the mentioned bikes. Am looking at buying one of the two:Silverback Spectra @R7500 or...Titan Trail @ R7000 And recommendations??Thanks!
Eugene Posted October 9, 2016 Posted October 9, 2016 Both are good value for money and there is not much in it between them at that price point. I would base my purchase decision on which one looks the nicest.
Fox3 Posted October 9, 2016 Posted October 9, 2016 So I'm assuming groupsets, forks and brakes are all more or less the same spec? In that case and if you have a limited budget take the Titan and use the R500 to get some gear, you probably won't get much but it can only help.
JXV Posted October 9, 2016 Posted October 9, 2016 The most expensive single component that differentiates between entry level and the higher specification models with same frame is the fork. Provided that frame size and comfort/fit are comparable, always choose the bike with the superior fork. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
Grease_Monkey Posted October 9, 2016 Posted October 9, 2016 I'd go for Silverback. There is nothing wrong with Titan, but the Silverback frames are really well built, top quality stuff. A couple of my friemds have had Silverbacks with only good experiences so far.
