2017 Cube Elite C:68 29 SLT 1X Zero Mountain Bike

It's a dream bike comprised exclusively of innovative, cutting edge technology like SRAM's new Eagle 1x12 transmission and the revolutionary RockShox RS-1 upside down suspension fork. It goes without saying that the SLT is as fast as it looks...

The latest carbon technology incorporated in our Advanced Twin Mould monocoque production process means that this state of the art frame is as light as they come, is superbly stiff and also manages to remain comfortable. It's equipped with everything that boosts speed: tapered head tube, X-12 rear axle, chainstay-mounted rear brake caliper and even the option to fit an internally routed dropper post. Particularly welcome for long distance races is the comfort that comes from thinner seat stays and the 27.2mm diameter seat post.

SRAM set the cat amongst the proverbial pigeons with the introduction of its 1x12 Eagle groupset. Being able to access an extraordinarily wide range of gears from a single chainring and 10-50 tooth cassette means that shifts are always quick and precise, leaving the rider to concentrate on getting the power down. The RockShox RS-1 is similarly peerless, setting new standards in suspension performance for XC racing. Rounding off this exclusive and exceptional bike are DT's top end MC 4.9 wheels, the incredibly reliable Magura MT8 disc brake system and Syntace Carbon finishing components.
