As always, Cube presents itself visually from a single mould. The brand from the east of Bavaria has mastered the coordination of designs with frames and components. The Agree GTC Pro has nothing to hide technically either. The relatively light carbon frame impresses with good measurements and provides the basis for a convincing riding impression. The fairly short head tube provides a sporty riding position, the thick handlebars are comfortable to grip and the new One tyres from Schwalbe provide a safe ride and roll easily. The saddle is firmly padded but still comfortable. The complete 105 groupset from Shimano impresses with its reliable function and promises a long service life. The only point of criticism: the brake and gear cables, which fit perfectly into the colour scheme, but are much slower than the original Shimano ones.
