Hi All,

Like most posting here I’m looking at getting myself a new bike with my usage being for commuting to and from work (mostly road/pavement with some light off-road) and also the odd weekend woodland/light trail (I have a Vizsla dog who loves running through the woods and is great with bikes)

I’ve been doing quite a bit of research and had settled on the Voodoo Bizango 29er;

but after some thought I decided that the Voodoo Bizango would be more suited if I was doing a lot more off road/trail riding. I then done some research into hybrid’s and am currently stuck between the following two;

Boardman MX Sport Bike - http://www.halfords.com/cycling/bikes/hybrid-bikes/boardman-mx-sport-bike-49-54cm-frames

Or

Cube Nature Pro 2017 - https://www.tredz.co.uk/.Cube-Nature-Pro-2017-Hybrid-Sports-Bike_97638.htm

I have been able to find lots of reviews for the Boardman MX Sport which have given me a decent insight into the bike, however I have struggled to find much at all for the Cube Nature Pro.

So I’m just looking for some advice on my choices, or if I’ve missed another option or just any general feedback would be much appreciated.

Thanks
Lloyd

    Of the two, the Cube, frame and fork are much of a muchness but practically everything else is better on the Cube.

    Thank you for you're reply Rookie,

    It seems the 2017 model of the cube was in short demand and have all pretty much gone.

    I have been offered a pretty good deal on the 2018 model instead, I would assume that the spec's of this are better than the 2017 version and therefore definitely better than the Boardman bike i was comparing that to, but would you mind just confirming that for me?

    I'd look at the Boarman MX Comp - it seems to be better spec'd than the Sport and it is at a good price now. You can get a further duscount with a British Cycling membership.

    As usual the new year doesn't quite match up to the old, for me the Boardman now just shades it.
