Hello from Leeds.

[Box of Demons]

Hello all.

I am a 47 year old MTB enthusiast. Admittedly not ridden much in the last couple of years none of the mates seems up for it anymore, all bunged up with kids and ball n chains or fat.

I have been riding a Marin Mount Vision for a long time, and had considered a SURON all-electric, but where to keep it and transport it was another issue so E-MTB has caught my eye to getting fit, getting kate Bekinsales mobile number, and wads o cash.. I jest.

My local bike shop has the Cube Hybrid 160 and the 140 in. Not sure which to go for so thought I would come say ayoop nar then ere.

The 160 seems like it will everything the 140 will plus the added umpf for black runs at penygent.

Thoughts on this much appreciated.

like it a bit narly when possible though 90% of the time will be single track.

what did you end up with, I venture down to leeds urban park often and I'm just picking my Orbea Wild H30 up on tuesday, nearly got the 160 Cube also but then I also nearly went for the 140 cube as in 2020 it was the better bike hands down so reviews said....the 2020 160 sounded like the balance was just all wrong
