Titan Racing dual suspension

[CtnSmith]

Hi guys...I'm looking at upgrading my hardtail silverback and have read on here and have had a review from a mate on his bike that the titan racing dual suspension bikes are good value for money. He said he paid around 30k new. It seems no-one has stock of the previous model. New model is launching shortly I believe. Not sure what price range they will come I'm at. So my question is does anyone know of a XL model available new anywhere else in the country? I'm based in CTN...thanks in advance

@Titan Racing Bikes best to comment on this-I have seen some of the new models today and they are MINT. If going for the last model my pick would be the Cypher if you could find one-marzocchi front, Fox Rear, 120mm.

Mate of mine bought a 2021 Cypher RS pro earlier this year.  Lovely bike! Well worth the cash. And it's local

Ask for Warren-he's in the know and will help.

Thanks for the responses gents...I may wait and see if I can pick up a decent 2nd hand deal from someone looking to upgrade to the new model.

Better Choices Exist.

I did not do any research on this topic, but I think they are better speced for the price.

And local is lekker.

Suggestions around that price range?I don't see any new options that can compete with the cost of the titan?

I'm also interested to know in what way 'better'?

The ride and build quality of the bike is fantastic and they have genuine, long standing warranty and general support in the country.

I'm always interested in consumer perception, so I am curious as to what you deem better.

Re-sale perhaps, but probably relative to the low cost of the initial purchase new. Desire is a strange thing I guess. 

I personally don't think there is anything 'better' than a Cypher at equivalent spec/price point and I test rode a LOT of bikes.

I'm guessing this is a "buy a Toyota (or BMW, VW etc,) they are better" type of statement. And about as useful.

marketing, hype. call it what you like, but aspirational bike brands don't include Titan it'd seem regardless of how good they are and how fast we'll be. it's just that I won't think that i look as good on one as i do on a Spez, or so I've been told

I guess that's it. Desirable? Niche? 

'Better' is none of these

Truth, about the closest is Silverback which is on par.

it's more than that. the advertising messaging is 'on that bike/in that car, you are less than you can be. Buy this one instead and be better'.

At same price point & age of bike, doubt it
