MTB Under 20k Help

[Sitting@89]

Ok, I see the 2017 range changed a lot. The new sola SL have a reba fork and now is 1x11 sram. The sola 1 now have a xt crank and shifters, but the fork was downgraded to a recon. None of the bikes have ztr wheels anymore.

Jis but it is an UGLY bike, so unlike Silverback who generally have some of the prettiest bikes out there. Manufacturers should be banned from using grey as a base colour, never seen a good looking grey bike! Nice spec though, wonder how much they would pop?

I am a big guy.

 

1.93m 110kg.

 

I have had the privilege of riding almost all kinds of MTB's.

 

Unless you are focusing on marathon or century rides, I would focus on comfort and enjoyment.

 

Having played with fat bikes this year, I can highly recommend bigger volume tyres on hardtail bikes. I have just purchased a Trek Stache 5 for 23k. What a brilliant bike. Go anywhere, low maintenance hardball fun. Decent entry level spec. Lifetime warranty on the frame. SunRingle rims. All bulletproof.

 

My 65k dualie 29er has been gathering dust this year.

 

Good luck and safe cycling.

That right there  was the answer to my problem aswell. Took a break from cycling and when i decided to start again, i looked around and settled on the Trek Stache 5 and Never had so much fun riding a bike - allround can do-it-all bike !

 

For the fun i even entered a road race with a friend of mine and gave some of the roadies a big "skrik" on the fatty hardtail... so  yes you can also do the odd road event if you feel like it

 

just my 2 c

 

goodluck

 Watter bike het nou die beter specs? Silverback sola1 2016 or 2017??

 

Dankie vir al julle help!!

I weigh 124kg and have the Sola 1. Only had punctures and damaged my derrailieur when a branch got stuck into it. The Sola1 performs and handles wonderfully and I am so glad this was my option.

Do u have the 2016 model? and where did u bought your bike from? Thanks

As dit my geld was, n 2016. Ek dink die rand skiet die 2017 in die rug. Soek vir jou n 2de handse silverback storm, jy sal een vir minder as R18 000 kry. Ek sal nie sommer nou n nuwe fiets koop nie, jy kry net te min vir jou geld.

2017 se spec is laer as 2016, enigste plek wat ek sien wat nog 2016 in voorraad het is Kayalami Pro Cycles in Johannesburg, niks in WC sover ek kan sien nie.

Wel lyk jou opsies is nou maar die 2017 Sola. Of jy kan altyd joburg toe ry saam iemand jou fiets (2016 sola) hier koop en n goeie verskoning he vir n "self organized" joburg2cpt toer met jou nuwe fiets terug.

 

Of spaar 2000 en koop die titan

Congrats on your new ride.

Nice looking bike. Sometimes silverback gets it right. Did you manage to pick it up for sub 20k?
