Written by AmbMag: Silverback is a relative newcomer to the Australian bicycle market with the brand landing in the country at 99 Bikes amid the Covid bike craze. The brand started in Australia as a great alternative for reasonably priced kids bikes and hardtails, and it has solidified that position comfortably within franchised bike shops and other independent retailers. If you’ve shopped for a kids bike or a young teenager’s hardtail in the last few years, it’s likely you have come across the brand.
Silverback is the love project of Dion Retief, a South African born bicycle wholesaler that immigrated to Germany in the early noughties, who aimed to create a brand with the “mission to do good and show love for humanity” and “to pedal in life with purpose”. Can’t argue with that passion, especially if it means bringing quality bikes into the market at affordable prices, which judging by the range currently available in Australia, seems to be a successful endeavour. The brand has a much wider range of products on display on their international website, with very interesting models across Mountain and Road.

The bike we have here on test, the Silverback SE Trail 10, is somewhat a unique proposition from Silverback in the Australian market, being the only dual suspension model being offered in the range. It is available in two specs, the Trail 10 which retails at $2499 and the Trail 11 at $2799. The suspension components from SR Suntour on the Trail 10 are upgraded to RockShox on the Trail 11.
