The Cube is a 'bigger' bike than the Trance and will feel a lot less lively, what usage will you be putting the bike to?

A good deal is no good if it's not a bike that's good for you!

Tweaks has a ton of 2015 Mondraker bikes at 30% of currently. foxy xr is like 2300£ currently and that is a special bit of kit.

£2239 for that XR is good value if you get on with the geo. The Vitus Escarpe is well reviewed.

I know someone with that Cube. He has had it for no more than three months and it's up for sale because of the rear end flex. And thats after owning an Orange Alpine!

Thanks, will do a bit more looking around. Lbs has taken in a few mondrakers so will go check them out.

Generally I ride local woods and trails but would like something with a bit more travel than I have as I'm pushing on into bigger riding with fort bill and laggan local to me.
