Caerus Posted September 20, 2010 Share I would say go with what feels better to ride for yourself(frame geometry), parts can always be upgraded along the way, although the Silverback is probably better specked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclingfan Posted September 21, 2010 Share So, it looks like the Silverback wins. What components makes it the better bike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_w_65 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Shifters and rear derailleur on the Silverback are one model upAs far as I know the Reba fork on the Silverback is one up from the Tora on the KHSI think pretty much the components right through on the Silverback are one model up from the KHS I just bought the SIlverback Spectra, was good value for money and I am loving it.

Twombles Posted September 21, 2010 Share I'm pretty sure that the Tora is a coil shock. The Reba is not only an air shock, But a flipping good one! Crack is right. Go for the more comfortable frame geometry for yourself. (and then go for the reba ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclingfan Posted September 22, 2010 Share Ok. Now that I have made my decision the bike shop says it can not find me a silverback anywhere in Gauteng. So Now it either the KHS or is there any other bikes which you can recommend for the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
