The “Axial WS GTC Pro carbon’n’coral” model from the “Cube” brand, released in 2021, is a high-quality road bike designed specifically for discerning female cyclists. Priced at 1849 EUR, this bike offers an impressive combination of advanced technology and carefully selected components.

The frame of the Axial WS GTC Pro is constructed using GTC Monocoque Twin Mold Technology and, thanks to Road Comfort Geometry and AXH, offers an optimal balance of stiffness and comfort. The flat-mount disc brakes and the 12x142mm axle provide additional stability and precision whilst riding. Weighing just 9 kg, the bike is also pleasantly light.

Braking performance is provided by the Shimano 105 BR-R7070 hydraulic disc brakes, which are fitted with 160mm discs at the front and rear and ensure reliable deceleration in all conditions. The gear system consists of the Shimano 105 RD-R7000-DGS, an 11-speed rear derailleur that enables precise and smooth gear changes. The Shimano 105 FD-R7000 front derailleur is the perfect match and ensures precise chain guidance.

The Axial WS GTC Pro features the CUBE CSL Race Disc fork, which is made entirely from carbon. With its tapered design (1 1/8" – 1 1/4") and 12x100mm axle, it offers excellent steering precision and shock absorption. The Shimano 105 FC-R7000 crankset with 50x34T chainrings and the Shimano CS-R7000 cassette with an 11-32T range offer a wide gear ratio range for various terrains.

The drivetrain is completed by the Shimano CN-HG601-11 chain, which is renowned for its durability and efficiency. The CUBE Compact Race Bar handlebars and the CUBE Performance Stem SL (31.8mm) provide an ergonomic and aerodynamic riding position. The VP I-t headset integrates seamlessly into the overall design and ensures precise steering.

The Conti Grand Sport Race SL tyres in size 28-622 offer excellent grip and low rolling resistance, whilst the CUBE RA 1.9 Aero Disc wheelset, with 12x100mm at the front and 12x142mm at the rear, ensures stability and aerodynamics. The Natural Fit Venec WS saddle, combined with the CUBE Performance Post seatpost (27.2mm) and the CUBE Screwlock seat clamp (31.8mm), ensures a high level of comfort even on longer rides.

Overall, the Axial WS GTC Pro carbon’n’coral is a well-designed road bike which, with its high-quality components and lightweight frame, is ideally suited to both ambitious amateur cyclists and sporting challenges.
