Cube ltd team 2011 vs Cube ltd race 2011 vs Cube ltd cc 2012

robflynn

First of all, apologize for my bad english, im from the basque country. I have to choose between de Cube ltd race ande the cube ltd cc, both oh them 985€, did you finally buy the cc?? what´s your opinion about it? i prefer the fox, but i think reba+full xt is a better choice than fox+xt+slx.
Can anybody help me? thanks a lot

robflynn

Sorry i wanted to answer to another post.

I'd go for the Reba and XT

robflynn

Reba+xt>Fox+xt+slx??? (thanks)
More opinions please

cooldad

If it's like a poll I'll say Fox just for balance. Like the BBC.

cooldad

But I'd really do with the Rebas. RS are less work, and work well.

robflynn

2-0 for reba+full xt
More opinions please

rockmonkeysc

Reba's and full XT

robflynn

3-0. None supports fox-xt/slx?

EH_Rob

I'll go for this one.

robflynn

Thanks for your answers.
Anynone fox+xt/slx??

cooldad

OK enough already.
Get the Fox.

robflynn

Jajajajaa. Sorry i only want to hear reasons for both choices...

cooldad

I did, RS are easy to service, have longer service intervals, and IMO are better forks.
The XT/SLX would make little difference to me.

robflynn

Thanks a lot, i want to read as much opinions as posible in both senses.

386ka

What versions of both forks?

robflynn

Rock Shox Reba RL 100mm, Motion Control, PopLoc
Fox Evolution 32 Float RL, 100mm, Lockout

386ka

Haven't ridden a Reba, but the my Fox performs great. As I said though, I can't compare it to the Reba..

EH_Rob

I've got the 120mm Reba RL - its brilliant. Never ridden the Fox.

So basically it would seem that they're both really good forks. Personally I'd go Reba and XT - but that's because of the fork rather than the drivetrain - as Cooldad says I wouldn't notice the difference between XT/SLX.

Either will serve you well I'm sure.

any chance of a link to those bikes at that price as the reba full xt kit sounds like the ltd sl and 985 euros sounds like a bargin

I'm talking about cube ltd cc and cube ltd race
It's a bargain in a shop in my town

Rob801

Just make sure it's the 2012 model (LTD CC) for that price as they can be had for €1099 on most of the German online shops (which is still a bargain IMO)... if it's a 2011 model I've seen one for €899. There's also a bit of difference in the measurements (forgot the correct term) between the 11'and 12' models and the 2012 has the latest XT group (780 vs 770) and different brakes.

robflynn

Both bikes are the 2012 model

supersonic

Be best if you can post links, as the Cube line up is confusing to say the least!

nicklouse

especially as the specs for Danmark may well be different to the UK versions.

Rob801

The CC isn't even in the 2012 Danish Cube catalog so I'm going by the German specs (Cube.eu plus various German shops). Cubes are too expensive in Denmark anyway, typically almost €300 more than in Germany and thats the LTD range, So I'm looking south of the border for mine... if your comment was meant for me (but the German specs may be different from the UK too).

And here's the link to the 2012 from the same dealer (the 2012 is also with free delivery)... I think Geometry is the word I was looking for earlier. If you compare the measurements shown at the bottom of the page for each model there are a few differences .

i think that the 2011 cc represents a massive bargain, around 800 pounds after shipping.

I am personally looking for a bike too and it is between this and a grand canyon al 6.0, but i have owned a cube before, so very hard to decide.

concorde

Suntour XCR over either ;-)
