Need help on your view on these, as each day makes me weaker not to press that "buy it now" button.. But have to buy before year end.. . Please dont throw anymore option as to come up with these 4 already cost me countless sleepless nights and significant amount of time googling..... My heart is set on the YT Wicked 150 ltd. just need to have that option really... Bike intents and purpose is do-it-all bike where UK(wales,scotland), Alps, Whistler dont matter. (Well something like that) 🙄 ... Type of riding: all mountain, red/black graded routes

Looks alone, black and gold by a long way. Just needs some JPS decals to finish it off.

I'd be a bit put off by TALAS forks.
I'd go for a remedy 8 or even this if its the right size and your budget will stretch;

Canyon and YT are hard to beat in terms of value for money, but with Cube you'd have the bonus of local dealer support.

The YT you've chosen is closer to the Canyon Nerve. The Strive is heavier and has a longer travel, burlier fork - it would probably be overkill for UK trail centres but perfect for Whistler and the Alps. Depends what you see yourself doing more of, but they'd all probably be fine as all-round bikes. Just choose the one you like most.

I just realized YT website dont have credit card payment option but bank transfer.. This is a game changer for me 😥 ... I always prefer credit card for purchases online for my protection as a consumer. .. Now the Cube dealer just around the corner where i live starting to be more appealing.. Or maybe the canyon nerve al+ .. I might need to re-assess my options again 🙄

Hah, they all look like capable bikes - just buy one and start enjoying it already. Agonising over the purchase isn't the fun part - riding it is!

Fair enough. Personally I wouldn't tolerate TALAS forks but hey.

I'd go with the black one specc'ed with gold components.
Go roll your eyes elsewhere you mammoth nancy, and make your own mind up. 🙂
