SLX?
What model have you upgraded from?

 

[20mph]

I've got initially:
Cube Stereo Hybrid 140 SL 500 2019

Sold after few thousands miles and replace with:
Cube Stereo Hybrid 160 HPC 750 SLX 27.5 2023 - Carbon/Reflex

I like the frame and bigger suspension travel and the most importantly: Bosh Gen4 engine. I'm only disappointed for brakes old was Shimano XT SL series, while new one are Shimano Deore. I've been always fan of Fox suspension, but this RockShocks are not bad

And most importantly - in compare of second hand market prices - it was a bargain, as prices goes down nicely after black Friday!

Missing some purple bits. Black always looks hot with purple bits

... I'm only disappointed for brakes old was Shimano XT SL series, while new one are Shimano Deore. ..

Does yours also have the double piston Deore MT520 or 6120?
Visually very similar to the XT 8120, do you feel the difference ?

 

[20mph]

6120 - and yes I can clearly feel the difference. I don't know if it's caliper itself, or brake pads, or worse disks... Overall breaking power is much worse and much more squishy feeling in comparison.
