Cube Editor grey´n´silver

The "Editor grey’n’silver" model from Cube, released in 2021, is a high-quality city bike that stands out for its well-thought-out features and low weight. The frame is made from Superlite Urban Double Butted aluminium and plays a key role in achieving the low overall weight of just 11 kg. Priced at 1649 EUR, the bike offers good value for money.

Braking is provided by Shimano Deore BR-M6100 hydraulic disc brakes with 160 mm rotors at the front and rear, ensuring reliable braking performance in a variety of conditions. The Shimano Alfine SL-S700 gear lever enables precise gear changes and works in conjunction with the 11-speed Shimano Alfine SG-S7001 hub on the rear wheel, which is also renowned for its reliability and durability.

The rigid aluminium fork ensures direct steering and also saves weight. The bike is fitted with VP 615M pedals, which provide good grip and efficiency when pedalling. The crankset consists of the Gates CDX Centre Track with 46 teeth, complemented by a Gates CDX belt drive with 113 teeth, which is virtually maintenance-free and particularly durable.

The CUBE Flat Race Bar handlebars, with a width of 660 mm, offer a comfortable and controlled riding position. The Natural Fit All Terrain grips ensure a secure grip and high comfort on longer rides. The stem is a CUBE Performance Stem Pro with a clamp diameter of 31.8 mm, which provides additional stability.

The CUBE UX24 rims with 32 spokes are robust and, together with the Schwalbe Marathon Supreme tyres in size 42-622, offer an excellent combination of puncture protection and rolling resistance. The Shimano Deore HB-M6000 front hub, featuring a quick-release mechanism and a Centerlock brake disc mount, rounds off the package.

The Selle Royal Prestige saddle and the CUBE Performance seatpost, with a diameter of 27.2 mm, ensure a high level of comfort, whilst the CUBE Screwlock seatpost clamp, with a diameter of 31.8 mm, secures the saddle firmly in place.

Overall, the 2021 Cube Editor grey’n’silver model is a well-designed and high-quality urban bike that is ideal for everyday use in the city.
