Nestus Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 I recently started mountain biking and enjoying it a lot. I mostly do trails and then also a mix of road and trail. I have a budget of course and i am considering one of these two bikes. As far as i can see the difference is the Sram nx vs Sram sx and then the scale 960 comes with an air fork and the scale 980 with a coil fork. https://bike-addict.co.za/products/scott-scale-960-2020?variant=28317496311892 https://bike-addict.co.za/products/scott-scale-980-2020?variant=29004064686164 Which one is the better bike to go for? Thanks
Jehosefat Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 Why are you looking at those two bikes specifically? Their prices are quite different...
AdamA Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 The Silverback Stride is also a great Bike (with an Air Fork) https://bike-addict.co.za/collections/2020-arrivals/products/silverback-stride-sx-29-2020
Nestus Posted September 9, 2019 Author Posted September 9, 2019 Why are you looking at those two bikes specifically? Their prices are quite different... I did inquire at bike addict for a XL frame hardtail due to my budget with a 32 x 50 setup. That is what they recommended.

Dont want to upgrade in the near future.
AdamA Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 The SliverBack Stride SX as similar components ( SRAM Eagle SX) to the 980 but has an entry level Air Fork.

wa88 Posted September 10, 2019 Posted September 10, 2019 In terms of value for money, I think you'll be hard pressed to find a bike with better specs at the price than the 2019 Momsen AL529 for R 16 900 at Bike Addict (if they have your size). https://bike-addict.co.za/collections/momsen-hardtail-1/products/momsen-al-529-2019 A friend of mine recently got one, and he's very happy.
