Canyon for me mate as it's 650b , not sold on the 29ers, you might have a bit of a wait in the Q though, high demand for them

Seriously ? You have to ask ? I don't think even Stevie Wonder would pick the cube . Definitely a bike for the visually impaired . Just because you don't look at the bike when you're on it doesn't mean you're allowed to inflict retina ripping damage to innocent onlookers . Do yourself (and everybody else) a favour Rich and go for the Spectral .  FatBiker *Wanders off to scrub eyes with bleach  |

Only a mother could love that Cube, I'd choose the Spectral all day every day, not just on looks though (im not that shallow) The Canyon Spectral has a much better spec and they get cracking reviews

Firstly, the cube is out of the window - that is a disgusting looking lump. The two canyons are chalk and cheese though. This would be down to where and how you want to ride. What is the travel on them, I can't see that in the blurb? If you are riding trails and XC then the 29 will blast the smaller bike off the track. At 12.9kg and having the larger wheelset, it will be a faster rolling bike. But if you want to hit bigger lumps and bumps, I assume the 650b has more travel, then that would be the better bike for you - however, at 14.6 kg it will not be a pleasure to climb on that bike. The 29er is equipped with SRAM XO - and the other bike with XT. I have both and would favour SRAM X0 and X9 over XT all day long every day.  |

If you choose the cube then your mad, go for the Canyon instead better all round IMO

Canyon offer one of the best spec/price you'll find, but I must warn you, their after sales and support is really shocking....

Honestly I'm really keen on the strive so I would wait for that one.
But definitely not the cube

Personally I'd hold out and see if you can source an Apollo..
I joke, get the Strive.
