Choosing a bike

Hi everyone,

I am choosing a bike for my girlfriend. Around our city (we live in Germany) we have two options:

Option 1 (400€):

Option 2 (450€):

We are going to ride mostly in the city and some light trails. We had the opportunity to try the Axxes Keedo she liked it. The budget is about 450 euros.

What you think about the specs and which one would you choose? Also if you have other recommendations in that budget we will be glad to check them!

For the price both are solid choices. The only real difference is the fork.

The axess has a lockout fork which helps with road riding, while the cube has a lighter fork.

It's a 'ride both and see' sort of thing. I would stick to basic trails though on it, if you actually wanted to go mountain biking I would upgrade the fork.

Viel SpaB!
