Felt Q620 or avalanche AX 575


Recommended Posts

 

Hi all,

 

just wondering if anyone has any experience with either of these bikes...

 

Felt looks as if it has the better frame, but that's only because I can't find any info on the Avalanche frame.

 

Avalanche has better componentry (M485 discs v Tektro Auriga Comp; 9spd Deore v 8spd Deore; Octalink Crank v OEM SR Suntour Pressed steel jobbie; SR Suntour XCR fork v XCM - both 100mm with L/O; )

 

If the frames were the same, I'd go for the Avalanche. I know they've been around for a while, and are brought in by Giant... does anyone have anything to report on the quality of the frames? The Avalanche comes in at R 400 less than the Felt, even with the better components. I just wonder if there's that much difference in frame quality of the Felt to warrant the increased price, or if it's all just down to the name...

 

 

THANKS!
