2017 Cube Elite C:62 29 Race 1X Carbon Mountain Bike

Combined with the very light and efficient frame, the precise SRAM X01 1x11 transmission and smooth RockShox Reba RL suspension fork make this hardtail the obvious choice for both XC and marathon races.

The Elite C:62's carbon frame is constructed with advanced twin mould technology, giving us maximum control over the fibre lay-up. It's both stiff and extremely light, thanks to smart design features including an oversized, tapered head tube (with integrated carbon bearing shells), oversized PressFit bottom bracket shell and X12 dropouts. Our Agile Ride Geometry gives the Elite Racer extraordinary levels of playful manoevrability and steering precision, making it surprisingly fun out on the trails. Internal cable routing tidies the lines up and keeps gear shifts precise for longer.

High quality, high performance and maximum precision are the qualities that define this bike's features. The RockShox Reba RL in Fast Black combines a handlebar lockout and 15mm quick release axle for maximum control. The fast-accelerating and durable Fulcrum Red 44 wheelset is perfect for racers, as is the CUBE cockpit setup. The legendary braking power and modulation of Shimano's XT hydraulic discs is boosted by the inclusion of a 180mm front rotor, and the 1x11 transmission with SRAM X1 carbon chainset offers crisp, precise gear shifts. The tyre combination of Schwalbe Rocket Ron up front and Raching Ralph at the rear means easy rolling with maximum control.
