Looking at a [Cube Nuroad EX](https://www.paulscycles.co.uk/bikes/road-bikes/cube-nuroad-ex-gravel-adventure-bike-flash-stoneorange__8965) vs [Ridley Kanzo C Carbon Apex1](https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/p/ridley-kanzo-c-carbon-apex1-disc-gravel-bike-2022).
Ridley is on a 50% sale, bringing it close to the price of the Cube which is also on a 30% sale. This will be my third gravel bike, in the past I’ve had Cannondale CAADX Tiagra and 105 (more cyclocross admittedly) but it’ll be used for general gravel riding and a bit of road. This time I’m really after hydraulics hence looking at these two options plus they’re on budget with great discounts.
The carbon frame feels like the Ridley is worth it (I’ve not ridden one before) but I don’t know which one has better components overall? For groupsets it seems to be down to personal preference between Apex and GRX from looking online.
Any advice appreciated!
