Cube Axial WS GTC SL carbon´n´pagodablue

The “Axial WS GTC SL carbon’n’pagodablue” model from Cube, released in 2021, is a high-quality road bike that stands out for its advanced technology and excellent specifications. The frame is constructed using GTC Monocoque Twin Mold Technology, which ensures high stability and low weight. Weighing just 8 kg, this bike offers impressive lightness, which is particularly advantageous on long distances and when climbing.

The Axial WS GTC SL’s brakes are supplied by Shimano and are hydraulic disc brakes (BR-R7070), which deliver reliable and powerful braking performance. The derailleur system comprises the Shimano Ultegra RD-R8000-DGS with 11 speeds, enabling precise and rapid gear changes. The front derailleur is also a Shimano Ultegra FD-R8000-BM, which ensures optimal chain guidance.

The bike’s fork is a CUBE CSL Race Disc, made entirely from carbon; its flat-mount attachment and tapered head tube (1 1/8" – 1 1/4") ensure high stiffness and precise steering. The Shimano Ultegra FC-R8000 crankset, featuring Hollowtech II technology and a 50x34T gear ratio, combined with the Shimano CS-R7000 (11-32T), offers a wide range of gears suitable for both fast sprints and steep climbs.

The drivetrain is complemented by the Shimano CN-HG601-11 chain, which is renowned for its durability and efficiency. The handlebars are Newmen Evolution Wing Bars, which, together with the Newmen Evolution 318.4 stem (31.8mm), provide an ergonomic and comfortable riding position. The VP I-t headset ensures smooth steering.

The tyres are Conti Grand Sport Race SL in size 28-622, fitted to the Fulcrum Racing 77 DB wheelset. This combination is tubeless-ready and offers excellent performance and puncture resistance. The Natural Fit Nuance Lite saddle, combined with the CUBE Performance Motion Post carbon seatpost (27.2mm), ensures a high level of comfort even on long rides. The saddle is secured using a CUBE Screwlock clamp (31.8mm), which holds the saddle firmly in place.

The 2021 Cube Axial WS GTC SL in carbon’n’pagodablue thus offers an impressive combination of lightness, stability and performance, making it an ideal companion for ambitious female road cyclists. The price for this model is 2149 EUR.
