Cube Reaction SLT 2012 - http://www.paulscycles.co.uk/m1b0s2p421 ... N-SLT-2012

Or Cube Reaction SL 2012 - http://www.paulscycles.co.uk/m1b0s2p421 ... ON-SL-2012

The Reaction SLT has a Fox 32 Float Evolution CTD fork and the Reaction SL has a Rockshox SID RL, Not sure as to which is best?

Also the Reaction SLT has Formula R1X brakes and the SL has Formula RX.

Anddddd...

SRAM XOvs Deore XT?

    I wouldn't say one is better, they are just slightly different. Rockshox SRAM and FOX Shimano

    So the forks are equivalent?

    Not sure about that, Sids are pretty well reguarded on that sort of bike. I have seen threads on this forum where people said the model lower than the Sid (reba) is a better fork than that Fox, so not sure really

    Personally I'd have the SIDs, RS are usually considered more 'robust' than Fox which need more TLC, but as stated, neither is necesarily better or worse - read the reviews and decide which you prefer!

    +1, and I like SRAM. Fox have really short service intervals. Seems like a good deal though!
