The biggest obstacle to going faster isn't you, it's air. Which is why, for the Aerium C:68X SLT Aero, we took a close look at our medal-winning race bike and fitted it with components that are to air what a hot knife is to butter. Profile Design ASC Pro extensions combined with our CUBE cockpit help put you in the most efficient aero tuck possible, and the Hammerhead Karoo 3 head unit keeps you on top of everything you need to know. Meanwhile, the Newmen Streem Aero/Disc TT80/Disc Vonoa wheelset – clad with Schwalbe Pro One Aero tyres – features a carbon disc rear to complement the deep-section front wheel. Sram Red AXS brakes have the power to slow you quicker, so you can maintain your speed for longer. Put it all together, and it means that more of your output will go into forward propulsion, transferred to the road via Sram's Red AXS 1x12 gears with a CeramicSpeed waxed Red chain and a Sram Red crank with built-in power meter. It's quick. You will be, too.Frame descriptionDeveloped in close collaboration with CUBE athlete and World Champion Lucy Charles-Barclay, the Aerium C:68X can rightly claim its title as the fastest frame we've ever made. Every detail, from the aero fork design, disc brake integration and in-frame hydration and storage systems, has been designed with zero compromise, tested in the wind tunnel and then tested again under pressure, in race conditions. That's why, for example, we fitted a high rise bar for the medium and large sizes – because seemingly small touches make a difference. Lucy has full confidence in the frame and its configurable storage and hydration, and now you can, too.
Racing is all in the preparation, which is why we sweated the detail for the Aerium C:68X Pro. Gearing you can rely on, courtesy of Sram's Rival AXS 2x12 drivetrain and a crank with a power meter, so you can keep an eye on your performance. Matching Sram Rival AXS hydraulic disc brakes – because the faster you can slow down, the faster you can ride. A Newmen Advanced A.50 SJ wheelset shod with Schwalbe Pro One Aero tyres, to keep you glued to the road. And, of course, the coup de grace – a race-proven C:68X® carbon frame optimised for aero and equipped with configurable storage and hydration options. As for the pedalling? That's up to you...Frame descriptionDeveloped in close collaboration with CUBE athlete and World Champion Lucy Charles-Barclay, the Aerium C:68X can rightly claim its title as the fastest frame we've ever made.

If it's gravel with pace that you crave, the Nuroad C:62 EXC has what you need. The elegant C:62® carbon frame and carbon fork are light and responsive, as you'd expect, while the IC Aero One-Piece Carbon Cockpit adds a dose of extra wind-cheating, so you can put more of your energy into forward propulsion. Speaking of which, a Sram Force crank with power meter gets your drive to the Force AXS XPLR 1x13 gears, putting you in complete control. And Newmen Advanced G.34 SJ wheels shod with fast-rolling Schwalbe 45mm G-One R Pro tyres are brought to a stop with Sram Force AXS hydraulic disc brakes. Because everyone knows that slowing down quicker allows you to move forward faster...Frame descriptionThe Nuroad C:62 frame takes everything we know about building light, responsive carbon frames and repackages it in a format that's perfect for fast gravel riding. An integrated seat clamp and Semi-Internal Cable Routing complement the frame's almost organic appearance, and we added our IC Aero One-Piece Carbon Cockpit, to claw some watts back from pushing air of the way and put them into forward progress instead. The full carbon fork has two carrier mounting positions, while the frame itself is ready to accept mudguards and a rear carrier and has clearance for 50mm tyres (45mm with mudguards). And the overall weight for all this? Just 1,150g for a mid-sized frame. So it's tough, but also extremely light. You can think of it as a gravel express...
The Stereo Hybrid ONE44 HPC SLT represents the ultimate all-mountain e-mtb, so we went all out on the best of the best. The 150mm Fox 36 Factory Grip X2 fork and 140mm of rear-wheel travel from the Float X Factory shock keep the 2.5in Schwalbe Albert tyres where they should be: rubber side down, and rolling smoothly on the Newmen Phase 30 wheelset. Powerful, progressive Magura hydraulic disc brakes give fingertip speed control. A Race Face Era carbon crank gets your power to the trail via Sram's XX Eagle Transmission 1x12 gears, with powerful assistance from the Bosch CX-R drive and 800Wh battery. And the remote dropper post gives you the best-possible control on steep, tough trails. Zero compromise, maximum performance: all-mountain fun, all of the time.Frame descriptionA great bike is all about the details, and the Stereo Hybrid ONE44 HPC's frame is chock-full of them. You'll notice the Internal Cable Routing because it so neatly complements the High Performance Carbon main triangle's clean lines, while the angle-adjustable headset means you can tailor the handling to your specific requirements. A Direct Mount chain guard keeps the gears on the straight and narrow, and the neatly integrated Bosch top tube controller plus Purion 400 display show you what's going on with the powerful Bosch CX-R drive and 800Wh PowerTube battery at a glance. With a 150mm fork and 140mm of rear-wheel travel, it's ready to take on the toughest of trails. The UDH dropout means it's future-proof, too. And, with Size Split, there's a wide range of sizes to suit most riders.
Unpaved roads beckon, and the Nuroad C:62 EX is ready. Built around a C:62® carbon frame and full carbon fork which together blend light weight and comfort with sharp handling, we began with Shimano's GRX Di2 1x12 gears and GRX crank with 4iiii power meter for an unparalleled gear range and super-precise electronic shifts – plus, you can keep an eye on your performance. Matching GRX hydraulic disc brakes work with grippy Schwalbe G-One R Pro 50mm tyres on Newmen Advanced G.34 SJ carbon wheels to keep you in full control. And, with rack mounting points for even greater versatility, you've everything you need for gravel exploring or racing.Frame descriptionThe Nuroad C:62 frame takes everything we know about building responsive carbon frames and repackages it in a format that's perfect for fast gravel riding. There's ample frame clearance for tyres up to 45mm, even with the included mudguards. The equipment package also includes a rear carrier, kickstand and lighting set, while the full carbon fork has two carrier mounting positions for even more luggage-carrying capacity.
