Right I've found two bikes local to me within budget
One is a 2009 trek session 88
The other is a cube hanzz sl
Both kitted with fox forks fox rear springs
I just want to know what is a better bike
I'm swaying towards the cube as I will ride some uphill too but I need some advice from somebody who has maybe had experience with both?
Thanks

    Can you give more detail on specs, i.e. what fox forks and shocks, brakes, drive train etc.

    If there both stock I would go for the cube because of the brakes and drivetrain.

    The Cube isnt a downhill bike and its not a particularly good bike either. The Session is ok.
    If you want to ride uphill you wont want a downhill bike.
