If TimHenWoman reply to your post, just ignore it.

 

I bought one 2 weeks ago and am very happy with it.

For 10k you get good value.

 

Not the lightest bike on the market, but it's only 1kg heavier than a certain brand's model that costs R70 000.

 

This is my first dual suspension bike and my impressions so far:

The bike is not the prettiest out there, but it goes with no fuss.

The components are good value.

 

So if you are a Brand Barbie or a Weight Weenie, then don't buy it.

 

If you are looking for a no nonsense dual suspension bike that are not

too far behind the more expensive models out there, then go for this.

 

If need be you can always slowly upgrade the components to XTR or whatever.

 

Hope this helps.

If i had the money i would buy two of them, And not the heaviest bike either on the market. Its a great bike for the price.

or get the Mercury 1 for R16500 with XT

Been riding a mercury for the last 14 months great bike no problems

 

If you want good spec and value for money I dont think you could beat the mercury 1 for 16500 plus Silverback give great aftersales service.
