Product description
Give Cube's product designers the freedom to use only the very best materials and components, and this is the result: the Elite C:68 SLT. This is a dream bike built with no compromise and a selection of the best, most innovative technology. From Shimano´s standard-setting 2x11 XTR Di2 transmission and powerful XTR hydraulic disc brakes, to the Fox Float Factory SC fork and range-topping Newmen carbon components, we simply picked the best of the best and left it at that. Even the Newmen wheelset is carbon, giving this supremely light and fast race machine a uniquely high tech appeal that translates into blistering performance out on the trail or race course.
The latest carbon technology incorporated in our Advanced Twin Mould monocoque production process - combined with our high end C:68 carbon - means that this state of the art frame is as light and stiff as possible, while also managing to remain comfortable. We set it up with everything we could think of to leverage maximum speed. So there's a tapered head tube with carbon bearing shells and 12mm through axle for maximum steering precision. We also fitted a chainstay-mounted rear brake caliper to allow slender, vibration-absorbing seat stays, so you can stay comfortable and keep the power down for longer. There's even provision to fit an internally routed dropper post, should you wish to upgrade in the future. Our engineers live by a simple motto: the devil really is in the detail.
