Test 2016 - Women's road bikes: Cube Axial WLS GTC Pro - Cube Axial WLS GTC Pro on test

The riding position on the carbon frame is relatively relaxed, and the low gearing takes the sting out of long climbs. The very thick tyres determine the riding impression, they convey safety and a lot of comfort - even unpaved paths can be taken under the wheels with a clear conscience. Unfortunately, the frame sizes are somewhat coarse.

PLUS safe riding impression, wide, very comfortable tyres, good price-performance ratio for a specialist dealer bike

MINUS thin, uncomfortable upper handlebars, rough gradation in frame sizes

Conclusion Annina: An absolute eye-catcher. The wide tyres are great for touring, but it's a little too sluggish for competitions.

Conclusion Manuela: Sporty look, but safe and comfortable with the tyres. Only the wide handlebars bothered me.

Rating in the TOUR test lab: overall grade 2.1
