1st Bike in 18 years

Hi, about to join the cycle to work scheme and have a budget I'm looking to keep to (£600-£750). Only live two miles from work so won't be used on long road distances, but will be looking to use off road/ single track.
I know at this price it's pointless looking at a FS as you get poorer components than you would get in a same price HT.
Seen a Cube Attention 27.5 recently but haven't heard much about them.

Any advice on what to look for alternatives greatly appreciated

A bit pricier but has an airfork and is a bit better component wise. The frame is the same. I had a very similar bike (Cube Acid) until December (upgrade) and loved it. A friend has that exact bike and is very satisfied with it as well.

I'm going to be hypocritical and suggest you try a support a lbs, they'll be grateful of the sale and should be very well placed to advise and let you try a few bikes (they might not be affiliated to any one brand).
If it's only a 2m commute then I'd concentrate on what you need from the bike from a leisure point of view, even the most aggressive DH will be ok for a 10 minute ride to work.
