Brad01m Posted June 10, 2021 Share Hi guys, I'm looking to start riding, mainly trails, and need to buy a bike. I have a budget around R6,5k. I've come across the Silverback stride delight, Avalanche Reflex 2 and Titan rogue nova as possible options. Can I please get some advice on what the best purchase would be?? Thanks in advance!!

Steady Spin Posted June 10, 2021 Share Between the three I would look at the Titan and Silverback. Both are about the same thing but the Titan looks a tad better spec wise. Make sure you get your size 100% right. Happy trails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a sweet used 26er if you're a shorty apparently. Of your choices I'd go Titan. Edited June 10, 2021 by TNT1 Steady Spin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad01m Posted June 10, 2021 Share I'm 184 so from what I understand the 29er is the way to go? Any advice on the Apex A900? Falls way below budget but is the money being saved worth it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
117 Posted June 10, 2021 Share At that height get a large frame. Wheel size doesn't know how tall you are I'd go for the Titan... They have better resale values than the other brands you mentioned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
