Super Sywurm Posted August 6, 2019 Author Posted August 6, 2019 Assuming that includes pedals? That is rather bulky. Aaah yes, forgot about the pedals. Well, I ride for fun and exercise. It is fun riding the bike and I get a bit more exercise while riding it.
Super Sywurm Posted August 6, 2019 Author Posted August 6, 2019 Assuming that includes pedals as per the picture? That is rather bulky. You can loose quite a measurable amount of weight by replacing seatpost, handlebars & a rim/wheel upgrade. If losing weight is important. It is a good looking bike. My future project will be to reduce the weight of the bike. I have a wheel set that is +- 200g lighter. Just need do build it onto the boost hubs.
Spafsack Posted August 6, 2019 Posted August 6, 2019 How does the older Sido range compared to this regarding weight ?

Spafsack Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 Hi Super, true that. On the press release for the Stratos, they said it replaces the sido and is a lighter version, so in theory, it should weigh less

Spafsack Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 I found the article:https://sparkbikereview.com/silverback-lands-their-entry-level-aluminium-version-of-the-stratos/ "The new Silverback Stratos AL frames are around 450g lighter than the Sido frames"
Super Sywurm Posted August 7, 2019 Author Posted August 7, 2019 I found the article:https://sparkbikereview.com/silverback-lands-their-entry-level-aluminium-version-of-the-stratos/ "The new Silverback Stratos AL frames are around 450g lighter than the Sido frames"The bike is heavy, but while riding it, it doesn't feel heavy. It feels easier to keep a higher average speed with this bike than my old hard tail (Giant XTC). The hard tail was between 12-13kg. But then again, with a strong headwind...
Super Sywurm Posted January 21, 2020 Author Posted January 21, 2020 What size Rockshox do I replace the X-FUSION 02 Pro RL, 210mm x 47.5mm, B-Tune with?
gravelgrinder Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Looks like decent spec for the price. Nothing wrong with the shock. Fork is quite flexy, but if you are not hammering it every ride, it is more than adequate. I'd look at better tyres or a dropper to upgrade first. Scott Spark 960 is a bit more, but has NX Eagle a dropper and the better tyres as well as more suspension travel if you are looking at optionsThe 960 will compare with the AL 2 or AL3 from Silverback, also with dropper etc, NX or SX
gravelgrinder Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 I wonder when the full range pricing will be out?its on their website, been out for months
