mtbride Posted August 2, 2017 Posted August 2, 2017 Looking at getting this bike for my wife from CRC, anybody around who has bought a bike off CRC and can give me some feedback on extra costs to RSA (14% VAT the only extra?)? As far as I can see this is the best bang for buck hardtail around, looked at the Kona Honzo that's available local, but it's well over 20k ... http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/za/en/vitus-bikes-sentier-vrs-hardtail-bike-slx-1x11-2017/rp-prod146561

Its a crying same we cant get similarly specced bikes with that kind of "enduro" geometry here at a decent price. I am seriously considering the cheaper Deore version.

I think this is the Deore/SLX version, the VRX one is 21k on CRC, but the specs are awesome on it, full XT
