2011 Silverback Ventura vs 2011 KHS Alite 2000

[therealcor]

Hi Guys,

 

I am buying my first mountain bike and I am deciding between the Silverback Ventura or the KHS Alite 2000 (both 2011).

I can get both for around R8K.

 

I would appreciate any opinions or advice that you guys might have.

 

Thanks!

the silverback, better fork, better breaks. Just to upgrade those two on the KHS will cost you about 4k

What size bike do you need?

Medium

I agree, the only "upgrade" with the KHS is the 10 speed vs the 9 speed of the Silverback...

Silverback for sure!

Better components for less the price...

Now why would you want to do that, possible upgrade?

You know the itch

 

Thing is since I bought the Cannondale roadbike it is not as itchy as it was but it is still there somewhere

If you do want to sell it, how much do you want?

Hi if you are looking for a new bike at around 8K I would say go for a Merida, look at the Matts TFS 800D and the 500D, you won't find parts of that quality on any other bike for that price! Some features, good air shocks, 10 speed, XT rearderailers and SLX front and good crankweels, good rims, lightweight bike, and a very good backup service! Go merida it's the best choice you could make!
