CUBE Road Bike

The Attain C:62 Race isn't just fast, it's comfortable, too. The ideal year-round training and club bike, we've equipped it with Shimano's legendarily reliable 105 2x12 gears and matching hydraulic disc brakes, for fingertip control and safe riding in all weathers. Continental Grand Prix 30mm tyres offer loads of grip and a comfortable ride, and the integrated cockpit and Internal Cable Routing complement the frame's semi-aero profile and clean looks. With the comfort of a full carbon fork, it's the complete package.Frame descriptionPerformance and comfort are two sides of the same coin. The Attain C:62's sleek, semi-aero frame is crafted from our premium C:62 carbon to help you slice through the air. It offers efficient power transfer, too, thanks to its X12 thru axles and careful frame profiling, and integrated cable routing reduces clutter and provides another aero advantage. So that's performance taken care of. On the comfort side, flex stays and a full carbon fork are designed to reduce rider fatigue, even on longer rides or rougher road surfaces – and clearance for tyres up to 34mm translates into plenty of grip and extra cushioning, if needed.

You can ride faster if you can stop faster, too. It's the reason that, for the Attain SLX, we chose Shimano's proven 105 hydraulic disc brakes, and matched them with the fast acceleration and superb grip of Continental's 30mm Grand Prix tyres on Newmen Performance R.32 wheels – so you can brake later and stay in full control. Combined with the slick reliability of Shimano's iconic 105 2x12 gears, the pace of a semi-aero frame and the comfort of a full carbon fork, it makes for a bike that's as suited to a fast club run as it is to a longer weekend ride.Frame descriptionWe built the Attain's 6061 semi-aero aluminium chassis with both comfort and performance in mind. A teardrop profile down tube helps the frame slice through the air and integrated cable routing reduces clutter, while Smooth Welding gives tube joints a premium, almost organic appearance. The tapered steerer and thru axles front and rear ensure pinpoint precision accuracy and efficient power transfer. Slender seatstays and a full carbon fork help reduce road shock and vibration for significantly improved rider comfort, and there's room for tyres up to 32mm. And, with a neatly integrated seatpost clamp and mounting points under the top tube, we like to think we've thought of everything... so you can just ride.

The jury's in, and the verdict is simple: disc brakes help you go faster. That's why, for the Attain Pro, we fitted reliable mechanical disc brakes and grippy Continental Grand Prix 30mm tyres – so you're always in complete control, no matter the weather. Combined with Shimano's slick-shifting 2x8 Claris gears, your speed is literally at your fingertips. A comfortable, lightweight carbon fork and a frame designed for both speed and comfort are the finishing touches. Where will it take you next weekend?Frame descriptionWe built the Attain's 6061 semi-aero aluminium chassis with both comfort and performance in mind.

The idea behind the Attain Race is that it combines the speed of a semi-aero road bike with the comfort of a lightweight tourer. So, for example, we fitted Shimano's slick-shifting Tiagra 2x10 gears and matching Tiagra hydraulic disc brakes. Light and tenaciously grippy Continental Grand Prix tyres, in a comfortable 30mm width. And finished off with a lightweight carbon fork and a frame built for both comfort and speed, so you can broaden your horizons in whichever direction takes your fancy.Frame descriptionWe built the Attain's 6061 semi-aero aluminium chassis with both comfort and performance in mind.

You want speed, precision and control without sacrificing comfort? Here it is: the Attain C:62 SLT. The speed comes courtesy of its efficient, aero-enhanced design. We helped reduce rider fatigue with touches like the carbon fork, flex stays and 30mm tubeless-ready Continental tyres. The precision and control? Well, a big chunk of that is thanks to Shimano's ultra-reliable Ultegra Di2 2x12 gears and hydraulic disc brakes, which deliver impeccable performance even under pressure. There's a semi-aero Newmen Advanced A.50 carbon wheelset, too, to squeeze out a few extra watts' worth of speed.

When you're racing to win – or even just to improve your performance – every second counts. With the Litening AERO C:68X Race, we've built a UCI-compliant race bike around a frame that's reduced drag by 30%, so you can claw back those marginal gains. The Shimano Ultegra crankset with a built-in 4iiii dual-sided power meter means you can keep an eye on your performance. Newmen Streem Allround 49/54 wheels feature aero profiles and are shod with tubeless-ready 28mm Continental Grand Prix tyres. Shimano's Ultegra Di2 2x12 gears are wide-ranging and incredibly reliable. And matching Ultegra hydraulic disc brakes allow you to go even faster, because you can brake later. No doubt about it – this bike is rapid.Frame descriptionRules are rules. A race bike needs to conform in order to qualify for UCI-sanctioned races. But designing a frame that's significantly more slippery through the air, without breaking the rules? That's completely legit. The Litening® AERO lightweight carbon chassis – built with our premium C:68X material – was designed with extensive use of Computer Fluid Dynamics and real-world wind tunnel testing. The result is a significant 30% reduction in drag, in a fully UCI-compliant frame that elegantly integrates fork, stem, handlebar and seatpost. It's also extremely comfortable and has clearance for tyres up to 28mm. But most important of all, it's very, very fast.

Speed is everything in racing, which is why the Litening AIR C:68X Pro combines an incredibly light frame with aero design. But that's just the start. Sram's Force AXS electronic 2x12 gears deliver your power to the road – and the built-in power meter means you can keep an eye on exactly how much effort you're expending. Lightweight Newmen Streem Climbing 35/38 wheels shod with 30mm Continental tyres are fast to accelerate, whilst Sram Force AXS hydraulic disc brakes give you the power you need to brake late and hard. Put it all together, and you'll be posting new personal bests right off the line.Frame descriptionAn aero bike that reduces wind resistance is great, but a race bike should also – of course – be as light as possible. So, with the Litening® AIR, we worked with Team Intermarché-Wanty to develop a frame from our premium C:68X carbon that combines the best of both worlds. At around 799g for a mid-sized frame it's svelte enough to easily build a UCI-compliant 7.1kg bike, but it's still slippery through the air and comfortable for long days in the saddle. The overall weight saving on a classic road bike is a difference you can clearly feel – and see in your results!

There's no need for compromise, either with your training bike or your race bike. The Agree C:62 ONE's aero-enhanced profile isn't just for looks – it'll actually help you ride faster. Shimano's 105 Di2 2x12 gears deliver crisp, on-demand shifts every time. They're paired with the smooth all-weather power of matching hydraulic disc brakes, so you're always in full control on the descents. And Newmen Evolution SL R.35 wheels – shod with 30mm Continental Grand Prix tyres – are light, responsive and tough enough for year-round riding, which means you can train and race on the same machine. What more could you need?Frame descriptionBeyond a certain speed, the biggest barrier to going faster isn't you. It's your bike. That's why, for the Agree C:62, we took inspiration from our sleek, high-end road race and time trial bikes to make a frame that's as slippery moving through the air as it is good to look at. But a great all-rounder is light and comfortable, too, which is why we finessed the C:62 carbon lay-up and used slender stays and careful tube profiling. Advanced Internal Cable Routing keeps cables out of the air flow and, of course, complements the frame's svelte appearance. There's 32mm of frame clearance for wider tyres. And the optional storage box enables you to take food, tools or an extra layer to keep you riding for longer.
