Bundu Ric Posted January 6, 2021 Share Hi all, Hope everyone is well and all the best for 2021. I am looking at a MTB for the wife, it has taken some convincing but she finally agreed to give it a go. Here is the conundrum, I want to get her a dual suspension to make the ride, especially on some gravel better, but I dont want to spend to much if she does not take a liking to biking. What I have seen is that I will probably not get a dual suspension for under R24k or am I looking at the wrong shops? Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bundu Ric Posted January 6, 2021 Share I had a quick look but the thing that will drive her nuts is the scratches on a 2nd hand bike based on what I have seen, but will work through the adds in detail this evening and see if there is anything decent. Why don't you check the used ones here in buy&sell ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bundu Ric Posted January 6, 2021 Share Actually I dont think another R2k will break the bank, this looks like a great option and can always be sold again if she kinda does not take a liking to riding, Just out of budget, but this: https://bike-addict.co.za/products/titan-cypher-rs-expert-alloy-2020?_pos=13&_sid=c597d9cbe&_ss=r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Sywurm Posted January 6, 2021 Share Actually I dont think another R2k will break the bank, this looks like a great option and can always be sold again if she kinda does not take a liking to riding, I think you will easily sell the Titan, depending on the size.

100Tours Posted January 6, 2021 Share Or you could buy this for 22.. 11.5kg Carbon 29er Lefty MTB (Small) | Bike Hub I have bought 3 mountainbikes for my wife so far, cheap carbon hardtail (was a good start to test the waters)f/s 120/650 pyga - excellent bike for handling, but people we rode with started pointing out it was heavy and not a 29er, and then it was doomed :@scalpel - 29er and ticked the box of being light weight. I've had her on wider tyres for stability, but otherwise a fairly racey build. I would recommend the second hand options despite your reservations on second hand bikes Edited January 6, 2021 by 100Tours Bundu Ric 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheoG Posted January 7, 2021 Share Views on this for my wife? https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/dual-suspension-bikes/434381/axis-a30fs-s-new That is a decent bike and seems to be in fairly good condition. I would negotiate on the price though, R15k is a bit much. Edited January 7, 2021 by TheoG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
