Approved Used Cube Attention SL

The Cube Attention SL is a well-built aluminium hardtail from an era when Cube were producing some of the best value trail bikes available. RockShox Recon Silver SoloAir fork, Shimano Deore drivetrain with XT rear derailleur, hydraulic disc brakes, and Schwalbe tyres on 29" wheels. It's a capable, honest trail bike that has aged well — the geometry is balanced and the components are still serviceable and supportable.

WHO THIS BIKE SUITS

You want a reliable, well-specced hardtail at an approved used price that gets you on the trails without spending new bike money.

You're a commuter or leisure rider who wants something more capable than a budget bike, built to last and easy to maintain.

You want hydraulic disc brakes and a proper air fork — both of which make a real difference in day-to-day usability — without paying for them at new prices.

You want a bike you can trust on mixed terrain — gravel tracks, bridleways, light trail — without needing to upgrade immediately.

IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT
If you want a current model hardtail with a warranty, we stock the Trek Marlin range from £525 — worth comparing if budget allows.
If you want something more trail-focused with a dropper post, ask us what else is available in the Approved Used section.

WHERE IT SITS
The Attention SL was Cube's upper mid-range hardtail in 2018 — above the standard Attention thanks to the RockShox air fork and Shimano XT rear derailleur. It was a popular choice for riders wanting quality components without paying top-end prices, and that logic still holds on the used market today.

HOW IT RIDES

Fork
The RockShox Recon Silver TK SoloAir is a proper air-sprung fork — adjustable to your weight, with PopLoc remote lockout. A meaningful step up over coil forks in terms of adjustability and sensitivity.

Drivetrain
Shimano Deore shifters and front derailleur paired with a Shimano XT rear derailleur — the XT mech is the highlight, giving you more precise and reliable shifting than a full Deore setup. 2x10 gives you a wide range for climbs and descents.

Brakes
Shimano BR-M315 hydraulic disc brakes front and rear — 180mm front, 160mm rear. Consistent, low-effort stopping in all conditions.

THE FINAL WORD
This is a solid, capable hardtail at a price that makes sense. It won't win any spec wars against current bikes, but it's honest, reliable and well-supported. If you want to know more about condition or spec, come in or give us a call.
