Is this a good road bike.

The max missile

Came across this bike a number of weeks ago and im thinking of buying it on the bike to work scheme. I could not find any bad reviews about it, so I would like to hear what your opion of it is.

Looks good to me. I'd get it, especially if you're going to be getting it through the bike to work scheme. I see a good few of those ones going around where I walk every day, so they must be doing something right. Let us know how you get on, if you end up buying.

yeah looks like a class bike tbh

Yeah you wont go far wrong. Nice group set and spec.

Im jealous anyway

Cube are good bikes and the groupset is ultegra so no worries there! looks spot on for the money + btw!

Chainset is 105, but still very good value for the money.

Have they got it in stock?

Was onto LBS earlier and he was saying it was difficult to get some models in and already some models are marked as out of stock for the rest of the year. And is expecting updated stock list to show more models will be unavailable.

Priority is for the German market.

Don't want to hijack the thread......but I'm in the same situation, i.e. wanting to get a Cube under the BTW scheme.
My question: Is the above quoted Peloton worth the extra over the Peloton Race?

Any advice would be appreciated.
thanks.

The SL model has ultrega group set where as the race has the slightly lesser 105 set. It has been said on here that their is marginal difference in the two sets. If its worth the extra cash I couldn't say.

Other then that they are the same bikes. Carbon forks, same wheels, bars stem etc. There is .2 kg difference in weight which would be down to the ultrega. In the real world prob not the important.

I have been looking at that very bike too. Looks like a good but. That or a canyon

Went in to the bike store today and ordered the Peloton Race instead. I had set 1000 euro as my limit so went for the race. They look way better in the store than on the website. Wanted the black but might have to get the white as they might not have black in my size and in a triple chain ring.

They have a Race on display in cyclesuperstore?

What size did u order and when are you expecting to get it?

Ordered a size 58 and should have it by the end of next week. Cant wait to get it as I only started cycling 3 years ago and my present bike was bought off amazon for around 150 euro. While it is a pice of crap it served me well and never gave any trouble. Roll on a good quality bike.
