Hi
On the weekend I as lucky enough to have a good spin on a few cubes and a few lapierres at a demo day and was very taken with the x control i had a go on, although it was the top of the line carbon. Felt right and comfy, so looking into buying a 310, but for the best part of 1900 is it value for money?

I really like it but thinking its a bit steep, any thoughts?

    It's not the best spec I have seen. Lots of inhouse parts - I have nothing against that when they work, and save money for elsewhere, but inhouse rear shocks I would question, and the rest of the sspec is pretty low.

    for around the same region can i do any better than a Ghost AMR 5900? Componant wise its pretty solid. Any other suggestions are welcome

    Cube AMS 110 Pro is better specced than both the above

    Cube AMS 130 Pro is also well worth a look too if you want a bit more travel

    The upgrades are of a higher value than the £200 between the Pro & Team

    Personally I prefer the Formula brakes & Fox forks on the Team, drivetrain (cranks & cassette) is upgraded over the Pro too, Easton wheels on the Pro Vs Sun Ringle on the Team

    But it's the same frame so you could go for the Pro & upgrade over time
