Entry Level Hardtail Bike

[SassJ]

Hi, 

I am looking at getting a very entry level hardtail bike to join my son(8 years old) on some rides, instead of walking/running beside him. 

My budget is between R8000 to R15000 

I am looking at the following brands: 

• Titan Racing 
• Silverback 
• Trek 
• Specialized 

Thanks in advanced.

Size would also be quite helpful
