Nestus Posted September 9, 2019 Share 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?

Jehosefat Posted September 9, 2019 Share Why are you looking at those two bikes specifically? Their prices are quite different... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamA Posted September 9, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nestus Posted September 9, 2019 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont want to upgrade in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamA Posted September 9, 2019 Share The SliverBack Stride SX as similar components ( SRAM Eagle SX) to the 980 but has an entry level Air Fork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wa88 Posted September 10, 2019 Share 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.
