Looking for an Islabikes alternative...anyone got one of these? I'm especially interested in weight and quality of spec difference between the Dirt and Team versions?

We got the Hoy Bonally as an alternative

Super cheap with tesco voucher offer

Light and the kit is ok

Hired one this week in Mallorca, lovely bike, but nowhere near as light as Isla.
The cables are run full length and clipped to the hydraulic hose clips, and the frame welds are mint.
There must be a disc version, but I guess that'll be heavier still.

I have a Cube 240SL which is a nice bike. I've gone 1x10, naturally.
