Buying advise, 2 hardtails SramVSshimano

[DonkeyKong]

Hello Cube fans!
OK so I was going to buy this: Cube Reaction Hybrid EAGLE 500 black´n´blue | E-Bike Hardtail Shop
It has Sram setup and a nice hidden battery, but then I saw this:
Cube Reaction Hybrid Race 500 grey´n´lime | E-Bike Hardtail Shop
Very good Shimano setup and looks like an overall nice/good bike for me, but no hidden battery, not as good looking as the Eagle.
Hit me, what bike off the Two would you choose?

to be honest there's little to choose between the two. If it was me I would save up the extra four hundred euro and get the 2020 bike with the new Bosh Gen 4 motor.

if i had to choose... it would be the eagle

I see what you mean, but the one you linked to have a different (not air) fork, make a big difference

I'm guessing that by the choice of your 1st two bikes the type of riding you will be doing are firestone trials, road, path ways and the forks will be mainly for rider comfort.
The air forks start with this one on the 2020

whichever you choose I'm sure you will enjoy it

Right on spot mate!
Mostly commute, but be able to take it to the forest.
I use to have an FS, but now I only want one bike for all.
It's not the best choice, we all want 3 different bikes ? but for now, one will have to do.
Have a great weekend
