7000 euros is certainly a lot of money. And yet the test field is priced well below the professional segment, for which you easily have to fork out five-figure sums. In a reader survey, around a third of TOUR readers stated that they wanted to invest over 5000 euros in their next bike. In the Test report with all 17 tested bikes for more details.

The Cube is an old acquaintance, but has been given a few new features. These include a power meter fitted as standard in the Ultegra crankset and the technically revised Newmen wheels. Incidentally, the Cube is by far the cheapest competition racer in the entire test field.

2nd place: Scott Foil RC 10
