PappaBear Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 Hi all I was an avid mtber a few years back, but circumstances forced me to stop cycling and sell my previous bike. I am now looking to get back into things (maybe not immediately, but soonish) and I am browsing for my next ride so long... What is your opinion on the Cube AMS 100 Pro LTD? Seems to be properly specced and its absolutely drule worthy for me!! Also: In terms of ride, anyone with knowledge for me to compare to my previous bike? Was a Mongoose Canaan. Thanks!! Jaco
CAAD4 Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 Is the Canaan not a long travel trail bike? If so, this Cube is very different as it looks like an uncomfortable racing bike to me. I am sure they have trail bikes too. All racing bikes look drool worthy, until you ride them.

The Teocali is more of a trail bike....

mark ellis Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 I had a look at the Cube's a little while back, very well made bike and seem well priced, dont think you will go wrong with it
LukeV-2 Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 Nice bike, take it for a spin. bikes ride differently now then they did when ur mongoose was made.
PappaBear Posted April 7, 2011 Author Posted April 7, 2011 Specs look good. What's the price? Locally between R20 and R22k Chainreactioncycles: R15800...... Company where I work is an exporter, but this strong Rand certainly helps with buying bikes and parts!! Haven't bought anything through Chainreaction as of yet, so must first find out if there is any reason not to....
CAAD4 Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 I have met one of the local agents as he rode with us a few months back. Nice guy. Try them first, maybe they will give you a good deal and have a demo ride...
Just Keep Pedaling Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 "Chainreactioncycles: R15800...... " Complete bikes attract an import duty higher than the normal import duty. Anyone know the %?
