Let's see those Silverbacks

[GeoSym]

Can anybody tell me what the rider weight limit is on a Sesta Pro or Team?

I have sent 2 mails to silverback already without any feedback, not quite what i expected from a brand that is known for good backup and service!

 

Thanks

I have a Sesta Pro the frame is rated to 110kg but the rims are the limiting factor. Stanz ZTR Crest with 15mm axel only rated to 87kg's or something like that

Bought a Sido 2 last month and have done about 700km with it . I previously rode a Ghost Lector 2978 carbon .I wanted to go aluminum and the Silverback suited my budget and geometry looked similar . They also weight the same . I only regret is that its also black   I wanted something more bright in colour  but that can be rectified when respray time comes . Loving it so far  .

The Sestas are all close to the 10.5kg mark in stock spec.

Hey Nox. Would you mind posting one here that works? I’ve sent a few but have heard nothing back. Thanks!

Hahahaha! Thanks! I’m looking for info on sending one to me in Kuwait. Used the middlle east fb page, the Germany fb page and their website but no joy. I just want to compare what it would cost to get one here vs. buting in SA.

My 2013 Sola 2. With a few upgrades.

Its been an absolute pleasure to ride over the last 12,000km's or so!

Slight crack in the frame now below the seatpost.

Shane and the guys at Silverback were going to replace free of charge.

I decided to instead pay in and get an upgrade. My Storm frame is on its way.

Thanks for the brilliant service Silverback SA!!

 

And here is the Storm!

Been considering selling my Enduro to be replaced by the surface. Looks amazing.

At the price these retail for and the spec list on there, you could pick and choose parts and sell the rest easily.

I've upgraded a few parts, because I have on of the first 'sample' bikes that was brought in, so mine wasn't production spec parts wise. Mine had the wrong fork and wheels on. But that new Revelation is very good and I would have kept that if it was on there.

There is a frame only option overseas - but the demand as far as I understand was not great enough to bring them in.

So after having riser bars fitted, I decided I wanted my steed to look and feel like a road bike again. Took it to one of the LBS' a little while ago for a service, and had them put the drop bar back on, with new bar tape.
