DeityRaid Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 Looking for something that can tackle anything in-front of it pretty comfortably but specifically as I aim to ride a lot more enduro without wanting to upgrade after 6 months. Current budget: R30 000Currently eyeing out: Stumpjumper ST alloy
Shebeen Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 AFAIK there is a built in upgraditis chip in all specialized models.they have released must have bikes in their lineups for 13 of the past 11 seasons.
quintonb Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 New Giant Trance is due out/ or is already out. Edit: Just seen price and over budget, sorry.
partydave Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 The Stumpy is an excellent bike, also features highly on my current want list

Like this: https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/327666-specialized-enduro-29/?click_src=topad Had a look at this and was definitely on the list; Only concern was it already being 5 years old I'd imagine a lot would be quite outdated (Feel free to correct me). Generally tried to keep my pre-used options 2015+

This sentence needs a comma. https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/327666-specialized-enduro-29/?click_src=topad And this fits the bill perfectly. If its the right size for you. Buy it.
Edge_Design Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 Nice spec with lots of fairly new parts - https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/331043-pyga-pascoe-140-650-l/

Generally tried to keep my pre-used options 2015+ You have a point. Only just noticed the year model and checked geo.I bet that new stumpy is slacker. Although.. A 130mm recon wouldn't exactly " tackle anything in-front of it pretty comfortably"
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 What size are you? With new bikes, the Merida range at Bike Addict are bloody hard to beat, and are killer bikes. https://bike-addict.co.za/collections/merida/products/merida-one-forty-800-2018https://bike-addict.co.za/collections/merida/products/merida-one-sixty-800-2018https://bike-addict.co.za/collections/merida/products/merida-one-sixty-5000-2017https://bike-addict.co.za/collections/merida/products/merida-one-sixty-600-2018

Good reach numbers, just the seat tube angle and head angle which could be a bit more "up to date", but even then it's a great option.

Even by today's standards.He should keep an eye out though. Look around. Nothing against the stumpy.Just seems more intended for the casual trail rider rather than someone with their sights focused squarely on enduro.
Eddy Gordo Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 Don't black sheep still?l have yt's for good prices? Under 30k last time I saw.

Nothing against the stumpy.Just seems more intended for the casual trail rider rather than someone with their sights focused squarely on enduro.Same. I think I'd even take a 2015 Enduro over the newer more "up to date geo" ones. They really got it right with those bikes. Still my favorite Enduro/Trail/Not a DH bike of all time.
