Sorely tempted by one of these as a back-up bike to my ebike:

https://www.cube.eu/en/2022/bikes/mountainbike/fullsuspension/stereo-120/cube-stereo-120-hpc-tm-29-flashgreynolive/

It's completely different as I have a Trek Rail but I fancy a smaller travel, lightish, bike for messing around. Mainly Welsh trail centres - Brechfa, Nant and Afan.

I can't find ANY reviews but the geo/spec look pretty reasonable for the money/current Brexshit/COVID world.

Anyone know this bike?

Cheers

I have an older stereo hybrid 120 29er, among several other cube bikes in the house.
Can’t fault any of them, if i was being ultra picky I’d say the geometry is a little ‘old fashioned’ but not actually bad.
Paint jobs can be garish at times, and all the ones I’ve seen look much better in the flesh than they do on the website.

Can't speak for the Cube but last year I bought a second hand 2018 Giant Trance 29 2. Similar style of bike with less travel than my bigger bike and I have to say it's pretty much my go to bike for my normal riding these days despite being someone who avoided the likes of Giant, Trek etc for years and now I own both! Nothing too fancy, similar build kit to the Cube and everything just works. Pedals superbly well uphill and through the Twisties whilst punching above its weight on the downs. I doubt very much you'll regret buying the Cube. Get it ordered! But get rid of those tan walls quick smart 🤮
