I’m “enjoying” of similar feelings, though I’m 85kg, running without tokens. Pressure, to be honest I can’t remember, I just measure the sagAnyone able to share their fork settings (stock slx build), still struggling a bit to get things feeling plush.
I'm about 95kg in riding kit, running one volume token, 85psi, and rebound as slow as it can be (which still feels pretty fast to me!).
Feels like the suspension packs up a lot over repeated bumps, like a steep rooty section feels pretty harsh.
Cheers for any advice!
Hello. Is this a XL frame? I want to order one but i don't know wich size...i'm 185 cm tall, i have long hands and 83cm inseam. I had two enduro bikes with 490 and 501 reach and loved them. Thank you!Starting to enjoy it now it’s not creaking. Forks bedding in nicely but I’m still tempted with either a damper upgrade or a red zeb. Got some burgtec stuff coming soon (bar, stem).

Xlc has some nice short cranks available, ~30€.Another UK 177 SLX owner here (Deepcut. Surrey). Had the bike now since early December and just done over 300 very enjoyable miles on it. Only mods done are retrofit Purion 400 display, ergon saddle, icetech discs and ematrix pads.
Great bike and my first full suspension bike too. So playful and has given me so much more confidence on familiar trails around here.
Only niggles I'm having is the shock bolt wasn't done up tight (rattled like hell) and the bike sits a bit too low for me with constant pedal strikes (90kg weight, 6'1" height on a size large).

I read the 600 and 800 batteries have the same size so it should fit without any adapter, if someone can confirm maybeHello guys !
I should receive mine this week and I already received a battery 600Wh.
May I j’influence ask you to send me a picture Of the adapter I should acres on the battery to put IT in my Bike ? In other words can you please remove the battery and send me a picture please ? I want to order the parts.
Thank you in advance for your help !
I'm considering the MRP lift damper as I'm 16 stone and I've watched some good reviewsStarting to enjoy it now it’s not creaking. Forks bedding in nicely but I’m still tempted with either a damper upgrade or a red zeb. Got some burgtec stuff coming soon (bar, stem).

Hi, I'm 177cm on a size L, it is a bit longer than my previous bikes.Hey all! I'm with a local bike shop order on the SLX 800 build on size Large. I'm 175 cm (5,9 ft) / 80 kg. Been riding Orbea Rise on size Medium. I guess my last bike was very compact and of course much lighter.
Any thoughts on the size Large on this Cube for my height? Have anyone similar experience? I saw that the stem is quite long and bit upwards, so there I can shorthen the reach by 10-20mm. Thanks all and ride hard!!
I went for a size M, 178cm. L would have been ok for longer, easier rides/bike packing etc. For trickier trails I wanted nimbler bike.Hey all!

Thanks a lot for your input! How you find it: agile enough or push-through hard stuff instead? I'm worried about slower pace over rock gardens. I ride my current Orbea quite hard on rocks and downhils but I manage to keep it stable as is.Hi, I'm 177cm on a size L, it is a bit longer than my previous bikes.
I'm using a 40mm stem, with the steeper head angle setting and a longer fork you will reduce the reach by some mm, towards 465-470mm. You could run shorter stem than me also. I am about to replace my +35mm rise bars with +10mm but with some extra spacers underneath which will also reduce the effective reach by 5mm (this is to allow a macride seat, not because I specifically want to affect the geometry further)
Thank you very much! That is what I'm wondering too, and bit afraid whenever the L is too big for technical rock gardens on slow pace/climbing. I'm used to riding fast on rough terrain, and even my current M sized Orbea Rise is stable enough. Wondering if Medium would be better still than Large on this Cube.. hard choice.I went for a size M, 178cm.
