Anybody own 2018 cube stereo 120 hybrid exc 500?

[steven2002]

Hi again.i am now thinking about a 29er full suspension bike.i already have a cube reaction hardtail so I quite like the bosch system.
A quick search shows I can buy a new 2018 discounted 120 exc 500 for £2000.
It sounds like a good deal to me but what do yourselves think about that model and price?.
It would be udes for general mountain use,nothing extreme.
I have looked online for reviews but only come up with videos with different angle shots and crappy music and no real life action.
Cheers, Steven.

Just make sure battery is same as your hardtail, lot new bikes a going to powertube. Having spare battery is big plus.

 

[steven2002]

Yeah the bike has the same battery pack.cheers.

I have cube 140 race 2016 and have been pleased with it. 120 exec is excellent value for money and good choice of midrange components.

Ta,I was talking to a friend today who may buy my hardtail.
The 29er is £2000 in black/blue or £2700 in green. I prefer the green but no way paying £700 more for one.
At around £2000 would the cube be a good buy or is there anything else worth considering.

If I sell my own the battery type does not really matter that much.
Cheers,Steven

Well that sorts that! Checked stock online,all good, right size,right colour.just wanted to confirm size was definitely ok.
Left work drove to CRC shop, asked a few questions.
All good then noticed the price had risen £400 in just over an hour.cant honour price in-store or on online chat it so no new bike for me.
Cheers folks.

 

[Trevormonty]

At £2400 still good value.

Cheers.
