Which bike is better value

[dalecpt]

Hi Guys,

 

I have narrowed down my options to these bikes: all are more or less the same price - which one is the better buy...

 

Giant Anthem 2

 

Specialized Epic Comp

 

Trek top fuel 8

 

Any other suggestions are welcome.

 

Thanks;-)

Value and Specialized. Now there is 2 words you do not see together often

I like the rear brain shock, I've had it for 4 years and can't complain. Im sure others might have different experiences. Brain swings it for me, but alas, I will ride anything

Not one of us is going to ride it.

You need to demo each one in order to determine which one works for YOU.

Nice list.

 

Have you ridden all back to back?

Stop talking sense on thehub! Couldn’t agree more

 I have not ridden them but have seen all them at various bike shops.

 

Trying to narrow it down to two and then will probably go and test both.

 

Thanks.

Trek has a life time guarantee.

I would say Giant because they pretty much bulletproof but lately I have to sway towards the Epic as I just bought one. Just a note ... life time warranty is only 5 years.

Does the Trek have only 5 years and the Giant lifetime?

Buy the bike that YOU WANT. You will ride more because of it!

Lifetime is lifetime

Just double check with your dealer as i have been told on numerous times that Lifetime in actual fact is only 5 years.
