Silverback SB60 review

Best for families who want 60-inch glass, pads included, around $1,100.

$1,099.958.5/10Very good

Checked November 12, 2026 at goalrilla.com. Available to order online.

Board: 60" glass 5/16"

60" x 33"60" · NXT 60
  • 60" x 33" tempered glass for $1,099.95
  • 2.5 ft overhang, more than the Goaliath models
  • Anchor-kit mount: level it, unbolt it, move it
  • Backboard pad and pole pad included

Orders typically process and ship within two business days; delivery dates depend on distance from the warehouse and freight carrier availability (Escalade).

The catch

The 4" x 4" pole is the smallest square pole on our list, the glass is 5/16" rather than 3/8", and the warranty is 5 years. For a family with teenagers who play hard, the GS60C or THOR Gold are built for more abuse.

Our verdict · 8.5/10, very good · No. 10 of 14

The Silverback SB60, in three lines

The SB60 gives you the deepest overhang of any 60-inch glass hoop under $2,000 in our comparison. Silverback (made by Escalade, like Goalrilla) listed it at $1,099.95 on November 12, 2026, with a 60 by 33 inch tempered glass board (5/16 inch), a 4 by 4 inch pole and a 2.5 ft overhang.

It bolts to a 7 inch anchor kit, so you can level it and take it with you, and both the backboard pad and pole pad are included. Silverback backs it with a 5-year limited warranty.

The catch: a 4 inch pole and 5/16 inch glass are a step down from the Goalrilla GS60C, and five years is not a lifetime.

Fit

Who it's for

Buy it if

  • You want real glass and pads without paying $2,000
  • Your kids are between eight and fourteen
  • You may move and want to take the hoop

Skip it if

  • You have a teenager who dunks every day
  • You want a lifetime warranty
  • You want the rim lower than 7.5 ft
In detail

Silverback, Goaliath and Goalrilla: one family

All three brands are sold on goalrilla.com and built by Escalade, and they share the anchor-bolt mount and the 7.5 to 10 ft crank. What changes is the steel and the warranty. The SB60 sits between the Goaliath Ignite ($999.95, 2 ft overhang, two-piece pole) and the Goalrilla GS60C ($2,049.95, 5.5 inch one-piece pole, lifetime warranty).

In detail

Who should buy the SB60

The SB60 makes the most sense for a family with a two-car driveway who wants glass and pads without crossing $1,100. You get a 60 by 33 inch tempered glass board, a crank from 7.5 to 10 ft, a 7 inch anchor kit and 2.5 ft of overhang, which is a little more room under the rim than the Goaliath pair gives you.

Skip it if your players are teenagers who hang on the rim or play rough in the paint: the 4 inch pole is the limit here, and Goalrilla's own 5 inch and 6 inch poles start at $1,749.95. Skip it too if you want a hoop for little kids, because 7.5 ft is as low as it goes.

In detail

SB60 or Goaliath Ignite?

They are close: same 60-inch board width, same 5/16 inch glass, same 4 inch pole size, same 5-year warranty, pads included on both. The SB60 adds half a foot of overhang for $100 more, and the Ignite's pole comes in two pieces. Our SB60 vs Ignite page lays it out.

In detail

What you still need to buy

Concrete, mainly. Goalrilla recommends 12 to 13 bags of mix for its in-ground installs; check the SB60 manual for the exact hole size before you buy. Our concrete guide and installation cost guide help you budget the rest.

Pros and the catch

  • 60" x 33" tempered glass for $1,099.95
  • 2.5 ft overhang, more than the Goaliath models
  • Anchor-kit mount: level it, unbolt it, move it
