You're not wrong!! Had it a couple of weeks now but I still love it. Dang this thing is heavy though. Turbo w/dongle is addictive :-)

So it turns out retailers have a hard time getting firm stock from Cube on last season stock so was never able to track one down, so you need to call before you get excited! Good news is that I got a good deal on a 2018 Reaction Hybrid SL 500 black edition (19"/29er) and will be seeing it very soon! Was a bit more than I wanted to spend ideally but seemed worth it for the spec and concealed tube design which looks very stealthy in the photos. Cheers all!

I see, makes sense that they take a cut now. Nobody I've asked so far will let me use a voucher with a discount, or apply a fee (usually the discount) to the purchase. My employer have confirmed I can top it up so non issue there. This one is a good example of what I'm on about: https://www.leisurewheels.co.uk/m12b123s147p16333/CUBE-Reaction-Hybrid-HPA-SL-500-2017 ..it's cheaper than the 2018 Race version with the voucher scheme. Componentry seems better but are there other differences that I'm not seeing. Cheers!

..was going to go down the cyclescheme route but it seems I can only use the voucher for full price 2018 models (anyone know why??) so seeing if I can get a better deal on a 2017 model from somewhere - what sites should I be checking out for those? Basically a 2018 Cube Reaction Race 500 will be costing me £2050 incl. the tax perks of the scheme so if I can get the same bike (or better) for that money or less then surely it'd be worth me just buying outright. Flaws in my plan? Suggestions? Thanks! Adam
