therealcor Posted February 2, 2011 Share Hi Guys, I am buying my first mountain bike and I am deciding between the Silverback Ventura or the KHS Alite 2000 (both 2011). http://www.silverbacklab.com/2011/ventura.jpg or http://www.khsbicycles.com/04_alite_2000_11.htm I can get both for around R8K. I would appreciate any opinions or advice that you guys might have. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
covie Posted February 2, 2011 Share the silverback, better fork, better breaks. Just to upgrade those two on the KHS will cost you about 4k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Travis. Posted February 2, 2011 Share I agree, the only "upgrade" with the KHS is the 10 speed vs the 9 speed of the Silverback... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwfourie Posted February 5, 2011 Share Hi Guys, I am buying my first mountain bike and I am deciding between the Silverback Ventura or the KHS Alite 2000 (both 2011). http://www.silverbacklab.com/2011/ventura.jpg or http://www.khsbicycles.com/04_alite_2000_11.htm I can get both for around R8K. I would appreciate any opinions or advice that you guys might have. Thanks!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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
