wynandvdmerwe Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 What is the feeling towards Magura front shocks in SA. Big in europe! New 96 Merida 3000d bike is equipped with one. Am I sceptical for nothing?
Iwan Kemp Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 Same agents as Manitou, Cycles Africa. They moved shop to Somerset West recently so service and back up should be quick. Reviews have been average in terms of performance. Still not a Fox or RS, but it's not a bad piece of kit. If it was a aftermarket purchase I would say go with a Fox or RS, but OE on that bike...not a problem.
wynandvdmerwe Posted August 31, 2009 Author Posted August 31, 2009 Thanks Crow I posted the BEST MTB FOR A LADY topic?Looking at specialized era fsr comp/merida 96 1000/3000, 2010 models.Specialized:Perfect! but price is an issueMerida: my choice, better groupo I believe, but magura shock
Iwan Kemp Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 I'd rather ride a Magura than a Spez fork or shock! Not a big enough performance dif to base your final decision on that. Go with the better ride and the better value for money bike. As the Spez is made by Merida, the ride should be fairly similiar...go with the Merida.
AndreZA Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 Magura has proven themselves on the WC circuit and I doubt there is anything to worry about. And seeing that it is a women rider I doubt it will actually be used to its full ability.
wynandvdmerwe Posted August 31, 2009 Author Posted August 31, 2009 Specialized comes with a Fox ( a nice Fox!). Check the specs of ERA FSR Comp.Don't know boys!

Iwan Kemp Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 Era comp comes with a Mini Brain...they are rubbish. Truly awful. If something that bad was on any other brand with less money to spend on marketing and hype no one would buy it. Brain FADE is the correct name for it though.
