LouisF17 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Hi all, finally got a good friend to join the MTB fraternity and he is making the next big step, the bike. (I can then get my 3rd bike back) Budget of around R50k. The spec is a carbon, dually with at least XT components. Cross country. So far we have short listed the Rocky Mountain Element, Merida Ninety nine, KTM Scarp Master... But I thought it best to get solid advice from the hubbers. What would you buy for R50k? Please advise : ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LouisF17 Posted January 9, 2015 Share This thread can be closed now!!! Looks interesting! Although the Epic competition would be more suited to cross country me thinks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LouisF17 Posted January 9, 2015 Share tallboy? have to ask, why xc and not a trail bike?hmmm that could work, thought tallboys had taller prices like R70k. Guess it depends on the build. XC vs Mountain: Application will be mostly for XC riding, not so much heavy mountain singletrack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
