Skylark Posted November 8, 2016 Share I personally don't like it when my houses are guided under the downtube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris NewbyFraser Posted November 9, 2016 Share Looks like they have used the Specialized licenced Horst Link rear suspension. When done properly this a superb design. Any info available on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie Stewart Posted November 9, 2016 Share At the expected price point, surely the Camber Comp makes more sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patoe Posted November 9, 2016 Share I think that this is going to be a great bike for the intended market. I also think that some racing snakes on hardrail are going to buy the entire level bike and build thier decent part over and have a sub 12kg dual suspension bike.

ABrooks Posted November 9, 2016 Share Silverback Sido 1 makes much more sense, considering the Sidi comes with a Reba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headshot Posted November 9, 2016 Share I agree - a fork lockout is one of the most useless features on a bike. Unless you spend the entire time pedaling uphill while standing. Its far more useful to have a fork that sinks into and uses its travel when it really gets steep allowing you to keep front end traction. The only time I have ever used the lockout on my bike is on tar. So not very often at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serious Panda Posted November 9, 2016 Share Silverback Sido 1 makes much more sense, considering the Sidi comes with a Reba. Reba, +-1kg lighter, Stans Crest rims, and award winning race proven Burst rear suspension borrowed from the awesome rocket ship Silverback Sesta.

NotSoBigBen Posted November 9, 2016 Share Go where? Meaningless 1 liners is not allowed. I understood where he was going and 1 liners ARE not disallowed by any hub rule Actually the only rule I know clearly is the '#1000 Rouxtjie Rule' Rocket-Boy and bmw1za 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk Wrench Posted November 17, 2016 Share That sounds better. How much is this supreme piece of marathon hardware? These bikes have a suggested retail of about R33k. Average weight for a medium is 12,12kg, give or take for manufacturing variances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
