Could someone please tell me if these bikes value for money?
I would be using it as a commuter with a small amount of off road on the weekends.

"Super" indicates the specification level within the range... for example,Otero Comp, Otero Elite, and Otero Super, in ascending order from cheapest to highest level spec.
I had a Tyax Super - it was OK... just. Minimum level for a reliable commuter.
However, the Amasa Super is a much higher level bike being lighter, having better brakes, fork and transmission (eg 27 speed compared to 24 in 2006 when I bought my Tyax), but also costing more.
Hope this helps.
