Silverback gorillas were not even known to exist until 1902.Today, their habitat is being destroyed when people use the land for farming and the trees for fuel. They spend most of their day foraging for food and eating bamboo and leafy plants Gorillas are herbivores, and eat only plants. Silverback gorillas weigh approximately 350 pounds- about twice the weight of normal adult man. Silverback Gorillas are around six feet tall – about the height of an adult male – while females are around five feet tall. Each gorilla family has a silverback as leader who scares away other animals by standing erect on its hind legs, tearing up and throwing plants, drumming on the chest with its hands or fists, stamping its feet, striking the ground with its palms and galloping in a mock attack on all fours!

Mountain gorillas have a stocky build, with a broad chest, long, muscular arms and wide feet and hands. Adult male mountain gorillas are called Silverbacks because of the silver saddle of hair on their backs. Silverback gorillas have long black hair and their thick, shaggy coats help to keep them warm in cold climates.

Because gorillas are nomadic, they build new nests each day at dusk, constructing them out of bent branches in a tree or of grasses on the ground. Silverback gorillas continually wander through their home ranges of 10 to 15 square miles, feeding and resting throughout the day. They are also referred to as mountain gorillas. It’s also available in three models.Silverback gorillas live high in the mountains in two protected parks in Africa. The Scento is Silverback’s flat-bar 700c option, with a 6061 custom-butted alloy frame, V brakes and a triple chainring. The whole Strela range, like the Scalera and Space, is available in XS, S, M, L, XL and XXL sizes. Elsewhere, the Strela 2 has Shimano Sora 9-speed, weighs 9.2kg (20.3lb) and costs £759 (799 Euros). The Strela 2 is fitted with Tiagra, weighs 9.3kg (20.5lb) and costs £759 (949 Euros). The Strela 1 has Shimano 105, weighs 9.1kg (20lb) and costs £909 (1,149 Euros). Next on the evolutionary scale is the Strela, with its hydroformed alloy frame and straight carbon fork. The Space 3 gets Tiagra, Alex Race 28 alloy wheels and a £1,149 (1,449 Euros) price tag. The Space 2 has Shimano 105 and Mavic CXP 33 rims, weighs 8.3kg (18.3lb) and costs £1,429 (1,799 Euros). It weighs 7.6kg (16.7lb) and costs £1,729 (2,189 Euros).Īll three Space bikes feature distinctively curving seatstays and run Shimano compacts. The Space 1 gets Shimano Ultegra throughout, with a 10-speed transmission and a Mavic Aksium wheelset. There are three models, which share a carbon frame with a fat, tapered head tube and carbon fork. Next up in Silverback’s road range is the Space.

Its compact chainset reflects its target audience well, and you get the same Rubino Pro Slick tyres you see throughout the Scalera range.

Propping up the range is the 7.4kg (16.3lb) Scalera 3 (£2,059, 2,599 Euros) with its mechanical Ultegra group. It comes with a 53/39t double chainset and 11-25t cassette.

The 7.7kg (16.9lb) Scalera 2 (£2,609, 3,299 Euros) looks to be a competitively priced Ultegra Di2 bike, with a drop in wheel spec (Mavic Cosmic Elites) and alloy Deda cockpit components to reflect the cost. Rim brakes bring total bike weight down to 7.2kg (15.8lb). But apart from that the bikes look very similar. The disc brakes are gone, replaced by Dura-Ace callipers, and the rims are Mavic Cosmic Carbone SLs. The Scalera 1 (£3,879, 4,899 Euros) gives a decent clue to the price of the Pro, given that it retains much of its spec. As with the entire Scalera range, it comes in six sizes, from 49cm to 61cm. The Pro, with a 7.5kg (16.5lb) total weight, is put together with FSA’s BB386EVO bottom bracket, mechanical Dura-Ace (53-39t, 12-25t), to-be-revealed deep sectioned carbon rims, Deda carbon cockpit parts and the brilliantly durable Vittoria Rubino Pro Slick tyres.

The Pro comes as standard with Shimano’s cyclocross-specific CX75 mechanical stoppers.Īll four models use the same aero carbon chassis, an interesting design that has the aesthetic of a time trial bike at its rear end. The Scalera Pro (price to be confirmed) follows a trend we spotted elsewhere on high-end road bikes at Eurobike – disc brakes.
