The "Aerium C:68X SLT nebula'n'white" model from the Cube brand from 2024 is a state-of-the-art triathlon and time trial bike that impresses with its advanced technology and high-quality equipment. With a price tag of EUR 8999, it is aimed at ambitious athletes who place the highest demands on their equipment.

The frame of the Aerium C:68X SLT consists of the innovative Aerium C:68X® Monocoque Advanced Twin Mold Technology, which is known for its lightness and stiffness. The Twin Head Tube and Full Internal Cable Routing ensure a clean look and improved aerodynamics. The frame is also designed for flat mount disc brakes and has a 12x142mm thru axle as well as the AXH system for increased stability. The permissible total weight is 115 kg, which also allows heavier riders to use the bike safely.

For the brakes, Cube relies on Shimano Dura Ace BR-R9270 hydraulic disc brakes with flat mount (140/140) for reliable braking performance. Shifting is realised by the electronic Shimano Dura Ace Di2 RD-R9250-D with 12 gears, which is known for precise and fast gear changes. The Shimano Dura Ace Di2 SW-R9160 TT shifters and the Shimano Dura Ace Di2 FD-R9250-F (Braze-On) front derailleur complete the high-quality shifting system.

The Aerium C:68X® fork with integrated cable routing and flat mount disc, as well as a 12x100mm thru axle, contribute to the outstanding aerodynamics and stability of the bike. The Shimano SM-BB71-41B bottom bracket with 86mm press fit ensures efficient power transmission. The Shimano Dura Ace FC-R9200 crankset with 54x40T and the Shimano Dura Ace CS-R9200 sprocket (11-30T) offer an optimum gear ratio for different route profiles.

The drivetrain is completed by the Shimano CN-M9100 chain. The ACID Bartape RD handlebar tape ensures comfort, while the ACROS integrated headset (top 1 1/8", bottom 1 1/4") enables precise steering. The Profile Design 43 ASC carbon handlebar attachment offers an aerodynamic position for triathletes and time trialists.

The Newmen Advanced SL R.80 Streem carbon wheelset contributes to the lightweight construction and aerodynamics of the bike. The Conti Grand Prix 5000 TT tyres (front 25-622, rear 28-622) guarantee excellent grip and low rolling resistance. The Selle Italia Watt SF magnesium saddle and the CUBE Aerium C:68® Aero seatpost ensure a high level of comfort even on long rides. The saddle is clamped using the CUBE Aerium Integrated System, which provides additional stability.

To summarise, the Cube Aerium C:68X SLT nebula'n'white offers an impressive package of state-of-the-art technology, high-quality components and excellent workmanship, making it the ideal companion for ambitious triathletes and time trialists.
