Cube 2022

[Chris ledger]

Think the cheapest levo with 700 battery is 6750

 

[Choppersquad]

It's a bit strange how there are a number of shops with stock selling 750wh powertube batteries on their own but Bosch can't seem to find enough to put them in bikes.

 

[Chris ledger]

Who knows what the truth is being honest would be a big help.
The official word from cube is a lack of parts is the cause of the delay.
Which parts??
Motors and batteries or forks shocks brakes etc.
Its funny how the 140sl is in shops which i assume the frames are the same as a 160 so its gotta be the parts thats the problem.
Pity there isnt a cube rep reading this thread cos i think they have missed out on my £5k.

Just had my update from Lbs on my 2022 160 Action team. Scheduled 22nd Feb, now a 3 month or SO delay. Its the or SO but that's worrying.

 

[Choppersquad]

I can see me spending the whole of this year on my normal bike at this rate. Would be nice to have the eeb for the summer though.

 

[ckay76]

Luckily I've kept my 2018 levo.

 

[Chris ledger]

Ive decided to look elsewhere for my new book something that is built already i dont want to wait till june or beyond and tbh don,t trust cube to deliver on the new projected date might cost me a bit extra but hey you live and learn

 

[Choppersquad]

Let us know what you find.
Any thoughts on alternatives?

 

[Chris ledger]

Reserved a giant reign e+2 going to view it this week to make my mind up its a bit more money than the cube 625 battery but a range extender is available to make it 875w. Also no display included but again are available good spec for the money zebs and a fox rear shock code r brakes plus the pwx3 motor which is fully serviceable for the future so watch this space

I like the look of the Giant, think it would be my 2nd choice after the Cube. Yamaha seems a good strong motor from reviews I have seen.

 

[Chris ledger]

I spoke to my local giant shop he said giant are opening a motor service centre in the uk to start doing repairs in the next couple of months so the motors im told are fully serviceable just like bosch

 

[Rukahs]

I didn't want to wait either for the 22 bikes so bought one of the last 21 bikes that was in stock, managed to get 0% for 36 months too so that was a bonus - keep my savings in the bank.

 

[Chris ledger]

The bike im looking at is a 22 model can get it on the ride to work scheme so 32 percent off so big saving

 

[ckay76]

Just been looking at the Mondraker level RR but you can't take the battery out

 

[Chris ledger]

Its a big jump in price isnt it over the cube

I wanted to do that but our scheme only goes up to 3k and they don’t allow the consumer to top up the value to buy a more expensive bike. Pretty crap that.

 

[DoubleU]

More tempted by a 140 now. If I'm being brutally honest with my riding, a 160 isn't really needed. But it's a nice to have. What's annoying is that (according to the cube site) there's barely any weight difference between the two. And the price is pretty much the same!

 

[Choppersquad]

A third off the Giant is a huge reduction!
Wish I could get something on the cycle to work scheme but I’m self employed so it doesn’t work for me. That Mondraker is very nice but a bit spendy£££

 

[Chris ledger]

Green commute initiative covers any price for the bike so the reign e+2 ×
Works out at 3740 and comes of of the wages.

Have u looked at the reign e+0 750w battery £7500 theres a large in jejames for sale

It is. The R is a grand less and RR a grand more. Think I'll just sit back and wait the long wait.

 

[Choppersquad]

It'll be worth the wait.
The Action Team looks awesome.

Ooof

A 2021 TM with less than 500km? Sure they did not use it much; i did half as much in a couple of weeks with my new 140...
Auto subtitles in youtube are worthless though!

 

[ggx]

I´ve the feeling that 140 (includind TM and SL specs) have been popping to stores, but other models, including 160 are delayed . What is your info/feeling?

 

[Choppersquad]

140’s are definitely getting through to stores in the uk but yep..the 160’s seem to be delayed by a few months. Even the earliest dates most people seem to have been given are around May. Still can’t work out why as apart from the suspension and frame they’re surely the same bikes.

 

[Chris ledger]

Ive cancelled my 160 order was told put back to june at the earliest so wasnt prepared to wait that long never mind bubes loss giants gain

 

[Choppersquad]

How long is the waiting list for your Reign?

 

[Kimmoi]

What could be reason for those 160 delays?
