Silverback Spectra Sport Vs Titan Rogue Sport - advice

[VirenB]

Hey guys,

 

looking for some advice on these 2 bikes.

 

https://silverbacklab.com/bike-model/mountainbikes/spectra-sport/

 

and

 

https://titanracingbikes.com/product/rogue-sport/

 

they're both evenly specc'd bikes from my extremely limited knowledge and was hoping for some insight/feedback etc

 

My brother has a Silverback road bike and based on his good experience thus far, i'm leaning toward the silverback but not discounting the Titan.

 

The titan bike is a bit cheaper from my lbs than the Silverback

 

Anything i should be aware/cautious of ,with either of the above 2.

 

I looked at 2nd hand bikes and haven't found something that really stood out for my budget.(R8500 max).

 

Thanks in advance.
