    Between the two I'd go for the giant but they're kind of in different categories as the giant has 125mm travel so trail and the cube has 150mm putting it into the AM category. So does your friend want a trail bike or an all mountain bike?

    Cheers,

    Well I tell him he only needs a trail bike for what we do but he seems to have his mind set on a bigger hitting bike. It'll never get fully utilised though. The cube is lovely mind.

    My enduro never gets ridden to its full potential. Nothing wrong with that IMO.

    Always better to have something left in the bag and not need it, than want it and its not there :)

    I went from 100mm to 160mm travel and its bloomin great. So much more fun.

    + as already been said, lot better spec on the cube, and it looks nice 8)

    Yeah I think I agree. I said the CUBE had better spec was just wanting to check and looks wise I reckon I would shag that bike, genuinely!

    Front travel is 120-150 I believe so can be adjusted, prob better to keep have it at 120 to start maybe until the going gets tough?! It never will!
