October 22, 2025Oct 22 Hi, I am wanting to upgrade my cube reaction pro 625 to a full suspension e bike, my local bike shop have offered me a good deal on one of these, (£3499) it’s already above my budget, but thought it might do me a good few years. I am almost 50, so don’t intend doing massive jumps etc so I know it might be a bit extreme, but thought it might be a nice comfy ride, any suggestions?
October 23, 2025Oct 23 Many bikes available in that price range these days, but I can't see anything wrong with that one at that price. But a more comfy ride can be had by adding a good quality suspension seat post to your hardtail, like a Suntour NCX. Check you can get one long enough, they go up to at least 400mm, and check the diameter. But £90 for a big step up in comfort.

That bike has a dropper seat post, can't do that with an NCX (that I know of). For me despite riding off road 95% of the time a dropper is more important than a suspension post. Of course with a fully you can have both. YMMV.
