Cube Elite C:68 SL 29er Mountain Bike 2017 - Hardtail MTB

Cube’s SL tag always means that a bike has something a little special, and the Cube Elite C:68 SL 29er cross country hardtail is no different.

Not all carbon is made equal, and Cube’s C:68 uses no less than 68% of the black stuff in its construction – an incredibly high amount. The result is a material with an enormous strength-to-weight ratio, giving its designers the freedom to use thinner tube walls which save weight, without sacrificing any strength or stiffness. Formed using cube’s Twin Mold technology, every single fibre sits perfectly in the right place.

Those of you who are familiar with cross country MTB racing will be familiar with the 100mm Rockshox SID fork at the front of the Cube Elite C:68 SL. Since it was first unleashed on the world, the SID has won more international races than any other fork. When you pull up to the starting line, you’ll want to be racing with the Cube Elite C:68 SL, rather than against it.

SRAM were the pioneer of the modern 1x drivetrain, and the SRAM XX1 1x11 speed groupset on this mountain bike is one of their finest. You get a wide range of gears, running around a Race Face narrow/wide chainring and a silky smooth gearshift which is rapid and precise every time you click. Backing this up is a set of Magura MT8 Carbon disc brakes, delivering massive stopping power from an unbelievably lightweight caliper.
