Cube Agree C:62: The concept
Cube has always positioned the best-selling Agree at the sporty pole of the marathon category. The aero-optimised carbon frame of the current C:62 - The curved seat tube in particular is reminiscent of the Litening competition model and provides a sporty riding position, which means that the new Agree is aimed at cyclists who can and want to sit on the bike like a racer.
The riding experience on the Cube Agree C:62
Even the basic version of the Agree is a sturdy journeyman. While the rear end still absorbs bumps reasonably well thanks to the carbon seat post and slim seat stays, the handlebars become quite unstable on bumpy terrain. A little more suspension comfort could be achieved with wider tyres, Cube approves the Agree for tyres up to 31 millimetres wide. You sit relatively stretched out on the bike, comparable to bikes that other manufacturers already classify as competition all-rounders. Compared to the more expensive SLT and Race versions, the rather heavy C:62 loses some of its agility.
That's what you get for your money
For 2899 euros, you get a bike that will in future shift electronically (105 Di2 2x12) instead of mechanically (Ultegra 2x11) with Shimano components. One small flaw is the cheap brake discs, which do not exploit the full potential of the brakes. Thanks to two threaded eyelets, a transport box can be attached under the top tube, which is included as standard on the more expensive models. The limited steering angle makes it difficult to transport the bike in a car, for example.
The target group for the endurance bike
For road cyclists who are less interested in epic bike marathons and more in fast home laps and everyman races, the Agree is a comparatively affordable option for riding a still versatile but clearly sporty marathon bike that clearly wants to stay on the road.
