First real post for advice so be gentle please.

I am thinking of upgrading from a 2011 Specialized Hardrock Sport Disc to a 2013 Cube Reaction Race.

What I need to know is are the geometries pretty much similar? I have compared them & they appear to be but could do with someone more knowledgeable confirming it. I have put the links below.

    They are pretty much the same, the angles are near enough the same and the measurements are within millimetres of each other. The best thing to do is try one out if possible.

    Cubes are very popular and it can be quite difficult to find the model/size you want. I'd also add, just because two bike have similar geometary, doesn't mean they will ride the same. We've had two Cubes and I found the hardtail particularly harsh. The full sus was better, but not as good as the Giant.

    Cheers lads. I have emailed All Terrain Cycles in Shipley & they have said that this particular bike is readily available from Cube, so I will pop over at the weekend & see.
