Evening all, so it's been quite sometime since I owned a bike, however I decided to recently buy a second hand cube reaction pro, picture in link below hopefully, believed its a 2016 model but am struggling to find anything relating to this bike online anybody help?

null

Quick question, I'd like to upgrade the brakes, looking at options online and they mention front brake being left option etc, is that purely for the brake lever position or where the caliper mounts on the fork.

Any input welcome.

Cheers

Just which side the lever sits. UK traditional is front brake-right hand

The caliper is on the same side of the fork (and frame fwiw)  no matter what region

Thanks for clearing that up. Looking at buying some XT brakes or is my money better spent elsewhere.

You can get similar ultimate stopping power to XT in Deore or SLX grades for less money. They're perhaps a bit heavier and slightly less refined, but better value for money in my opinion. I have the Deore 4 pot brakes and they're great, faultless so far after 12 months.

MT520 is the product code.
