I am about to buy a second-hand bicycle. My choice is between the Cube Reaction Race 2018 and the Bulls Copperhead 3 2021. Their price and technical condition are the same. Which one do you think would be the better choice?

The main differences are in the transmission SRAM GX 1×12 vs. SHIMANO Deore XT 2×11, also fork and brakes.

So, what do you choose?
