The bike’s frame is constructed using C:62® Advanced Twin Mold Technology, which is renowned for its high stiffness and lightness.

Braking performance is provided by Shimano hydraulic disc brakes, specifically the Shimano 105 BR-R7170. These offer reliable and powerful braking performance in all conditions. Gear changes are handled by the Shimano 105 Di2 RD-R7150-DGS 12-speed rear derailleur, which ensures precise and rapid gear changes. The Shimano 105 Di2 ST-R7170 shift levers and the Shimano 105 Di2 FD-R7150F front derailleur complement the electronic gear-shifting system and offer smooth operation.

The bike’s fork is the CUBE Cross Race Disc C:68X® Technology, which also features integrated cable routing and flat-mount disc mounts. The bottom bracket is a Shimano SM-BB71-41B with an 86mm PressFit, ensuring efficient power transfer. The crankset consists of the Shimano 105 FC-R7100 with Hollowtech II technology and a 50x34T gear ratio, whilst the cassette is a Shimano 105 CS-R7100 with an 11-34T range.

The drivetrain is completed by the Shimano CN-M7100 chain. The handlebars are Newmen Advanced Wing Bar carbon handlebars, which provide comfort and aerodynamics. The stem is a CUBE Aero Stem with integrated cable routing, which contributes to the clean look. The headset is an ACROS, featuring an upper integrated design with a diameter of 1 1/2" and a lower integrated design with a diameter of 1 1/4".

The tyres are Schwalbe X-One Allround PerfL Kevlar, size 33-622, fitted to a Newmen Evolution SL R.32 wheelset. This combination offers excellent grip and stability on a wide variety of surfaces.
