not bad spec for the money!

The Spez looks nice, not much travel, but the big wheels should help. I'd still go with the GT though

There is also the Merida Big Nine 900D, with SLX crank, shifters, FD and XT RD for R11500

I guess you could get a new hardtail or a used full sus. I am also training for the San2c and riding a full sus. I have been thinking about switching to a hardtail for Sani though.

The axis looks like a great deal! If you don't care much for riding a big brand. Is Axis a probike brand?, looks like the same owner.

Trek X-Caliber
R13 999.00
Discounted To R12 899.00 (with tubeless conv.)


29er Race Hardtails /

Nothing beats the efficiency and simplicity of a 29er hardtail. Great for XC racing, marathons, 24-hour racing, or simply shredding singletrack.

If I had to choose, I would go for the Merida Big Nine 900
The Merida is 10 speed, Spez Comp 9.
XT Rd on Merida, SLX on Spez
SLX crank Merida, Alivio on Spez
SLX shifters on Merida, Alivio on Spez

The Merida looks prettier to me personally but in the end, it is your choice.

You might want to check the Titan 29ers out here is a link to singletrack.I heard the guys that bring Merida in this is there own product so it is proudly South African...
