2018 Cube Elite C:68 SL Hardtail Mountain Bike - Teamline

CUBE Teamline colours are fair warning to your start line competitors: this bike means business. Starting with a frame constructed from the very best C:68 carbon, it is spec'd with the best of the best in high end components. A 1x12 SRAM XX1 Eagle gives you unmatched gear shifting precision and braking power, whilst the Rock Shox SID RL fork will keep your front wheel planted and pointing in the right direction, even on the toughest of race courses. A full selection of Newmen carbon cockpit components were chosen whilst the lightweight and strong DT Swiss 3.9 wheelset were added, shod with Schwalbe rubber for the best in grip and acceleration. Ready to smash out a few more personal bests? The Elite C:68 SL certainly is.

The remarkable achievement of the Elite C:68 SL is that it combines exceptional stiffness - for efficient pedalling and accurate steering - with fantastically low weight and surprising comfort. It's all down to its cutting edge carbon frame construction, with a design that makes use of all the latest carbon technology including a high end C:68 fibre and Advanced Twin Mould manufacturing. All the must-have features are here: tapered head tube and integrated carbon bearing shells, PressFit bottom bracket shell, 12mm through axle and tidy internal cable routing. Oh, and that comfort?
