    Terrible doubt for a newbie

    Thanks Giff, due to "coronavirus" economic crisis i went for a Lapierre Overvolt FS. If i will like it (i live in Bologna, lot of asphalt, even in the hills, before going offroad) I will go for sure on a Full suspended next year. Thanks!

    Terrible doubt for a newbie

    Hi guys, just wanted to follow up with my final decision, out of respect for your help! Since coronavirus REALLY affected my business (models, trade fairs, events, movies as director), I decided for a Front (Lapierre Hovervolt 7.5). It will be ok for this year. If I will like it i will go for a...

    Ok so once the pressure is set it will be "there to stay" ;)? I mean, I just need to go to the bike shop once every two months to check if suspension pressure is fine? I can take care of the wheels so, it's all a matter of suspensions, but i think I can manage it ;) Thanks!

    Just a final advice. Since I am a complete idiot regarding technical stuffs, in case of a FS choice, Would I have to check / fix / set often suspensions or so or I am cool? thanks!

    you live in a wonderful Area! And for your specific Area, A Full Suspended is almost the only good choice :). Thanks again!

    Terrible doubt for a newbie

    There are a lot of factors to consider, but the key factor is the cost. On my estimate is around 1500 Eur more at least. The second most important factor is the kind of terrain. The third is how much you will use your bike. So, according to point 2 and 3 in my case (2 mostly asphalt, 3 only in...

    Terrible doubt for a newbie

    Regarding The Radon bike : Just beautiful ( I always prefer darker colours btw) Regarding the Front Vs. Full suspension. I will try to use again a full suspension, yesterday i was so amazed from the Bosch motor I didn't check eventual troubles in pedaling with a full suspension o_Oo_Oo_O

    Terrible doubt for a newbie

    I will let you know ;) better than a soap opera. I only wonder if maybe, as I am a former race bycicle user, and with all the mental patterns of an asphalt guy, going for the very cheap front MTB Lapierre wouldn't be a good choice. Yesterday I tried for some minutes the Focus, it was incredible...

    Terrible doubt for a newbie

    Hi Akiwi, thanks for the great answer. Still undecided between Focus and Cube, both great honestly ;) I think I will go for the one I can use more on asphalt, it seems (but maybe I am wrong) you can't block rear suspensions on Cube.

    ...but Cube has the Kiox display. In My opinion a huge factor.

    Terrible doubt for a newbie

    The battery should be 625 for both ;). Consider also that I am also an "asphalt guy" so suspension are important but not a key factor. As I heard you can block the rear suspension on a Focus manually, not sure about Cube.

    Hi Steve, yeah this is a huge factor...but still...Cube is also sooooo beautiful even if in the alps ;). I hoped someone would tell me "no brainer, Focus is better!" but it seems they are both good ;).

    Terrible doubt for a newbie

    The Cube is at 3900.00 discounted (really far from home, in the Italian alps, they will send the bike for free) but like every mountain north italian people REALLY honest, friendly and professional The Focus is in my Town, Bologna, approx at 4100.00. Between the display, in my humble opinion...

    Thank you for answering. Of course every seller wants me to buy thiers, Focus one telling me "but you have shimano brakes with Focus" and Cube seller telling me "It's cheaper and really good looking".... maybe you could have find some differencies between them. For me is kinda of arabic ;) ;)

    Thank you Akiwi! I will consider than maybe to start with a "low profile" with an hard trail. Yeah, Garda is gorgeous with safe trials as well on asphalt just next to the Lake from Riva del Garda. Amazing places!
