CtnSmith Posted May 4, 2022 Share 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 OVERDRIVE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If going for the last model my pick would be the Cypher if you could find one-marzocchi front, Fox Rear, 120mm. Titan Racing Bikes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christovdw Posted May 4, 2022 Share Mate of mine bought a 2021 Cypher RS pro earlier this year. Lovely bike! Well worth the cash. And it's local Titan Racing Bikes and OVERDRIVE 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewbacca Posted May 6, 2022 Share 25 minutes ago, dasilvarsa said: Why Titan ? Better Choices Exist. 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.

Truth, about the closest is Silverback which is on par. Jewbacca 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
