In terms of after sales service, there has been lots of complaints levelled at Omnico, the importers of Cannondale lately.

 

Silverback has, on the other hand, had plenty of compliments

[Patchelicious]

Silverback Sesta must surely be the best value for money MTB ever. With its technologically superior vertically mounted shock, you will struggle to find a better bike for less than a Ferrari!

Blasphemy just using the two in the same sentence.

Silverback Sesta must surely be the best value for money MTB ever. With its technologically superior vertically mounted shock, you will struggle to find a better bike for less than a Ferrari!

But we all know that Vertical Shocks are better.... that's why forks are vertical... ????????

A buddy of mine who weights 78KG is on his third Cannondale frame after the other 2 cracked.

He is going to sell his Cannondale.

 

Go SIDO

Really depends on what you can get them for, because a Camber Comp is like R37500 and bloody fantastic!

Seriously?

Sido

Cannondale's mid to high tier bikes are great

 

At this tier

Rather Silverback - excellent value ????????

[gongmech]

but I LOVE my Cannondale!!

 

although I have ridden a Silverback and was super pleasantly surprised

I had a Rush 2 and would say it is a great bike at that price point.  No problems at all and very nice to ride.  Looking at the Sido 3 very similar level of components.  Rush is a bit cheaper, Sido is a bit lighter.

Just had a look at the Sido 3 and then the sido 1.

 

Computer keybord full of drool.

Go for the Silverback. I upgraded from my Cannondale to a 2017 Sido 1 and never looked back.

I'm quite a big boy, weighing 105kgs. I upgraded to my first dual suspension bike in December, a Sido 3. I have not had a single issue with it and I am enjoying it immensely on the trails.
