CUBE ELITE C:68 SLT 29" MTB Black/Blue 2019

Due to delays in global supply chains, Manufacturer may have replaced some original components with equivalent or higher quality components. In some cases, the bike delivered may differ from the images.

Give CUBE's product designers the freedom to use only the very best materials and components, and this is the kind of thing they come up with. The Elite C:68 SLT is more than just a race bike, it's an exceptionally light, astonishingly stiff and incredibly rapid cross-country machine. For 2019 we've equipped it with Sram's standard-setting XX1 1x12 groupset with an all-new carbon crankset. From the Fox Float Factory Stepcast fork to the range-topping Newmen cockpit components, we simply picked the best of the best and left it at that. Even the DT Swiss wheelset is carbon, giving this ultralight race bike a uniquely high-tech appeal that translates, very simply, into blistering performance.

The latest carbon technology incorporated in our Advanced Twin Mold monocoque production process - combined with our high end C:68 carbon - means that this state of the art frame is as light and stiff as possible, while also managing to remain surprisingly comfortable. We set it up with everything we could think of to leverage maximum speed. So there's a tapered head tube with carbon bearing shells, a PressFit bottom bracket and 12mm through axle at the rear for maximum steering precision and instant power transfer. The chainstay-mounted rear brake caliper allows the use of slender, vibration-absorbing seatstays - so you can stay comfortable and kepp the power down for longer. There's even provision to fit an internally routed dropper post, should you wish to upgrade in the future. Our engineers live by a simple motto: the devil really is in the detail.
