• I wouldn't personally say its worth the extra £200 for a worse colourway and rival
    The rest of the build is the same.
    You could easily buy rival cranks or mechs down the line for less than 200 second hand.
    The green is cool

  • Green is much nicer & as above, can always 'upgrade' some of the parts with the savings. The only difference with the rival crank is the spider which allows for direct mount rings.. otherwise they are the same weight. Go straight for Force ;)

  • Rival isn't really anything on Apex, and if your going to ride it off road you can use that £200 for a set wheels. I work with someone who has the green one it's an absolute bargain for the money

  • I have the green just because not another black bike. It's nice and glittery in the sun. And cheaper
