Take the race-inspired DNA of Cube’s Road bikes, throw in some flat bar practicality and you have the SL Road. A perfect blend of the versatility of a commuting tourer and the speed of a race machine. The Superlite double-butted alloy frame keeps the weight down, while the trekking sport geometry provides lasting rider comfort. The full Carbon fork absorbs small shocks, reducing rider fatigue and features lowrider rack points, so it's practical as well as comfortable. For the ultimate in versatility for commuting and touring, Cube added mounting points for easy mudguard and carrier upgrades. Shimano's reliable and smooth-shifting Claris 2x8 transmission ensures you're always in the right gear. Tektro hydraulic disc brakes ensure progressive, reassuring stopping power in any weather conditions, while flat mount disc attachment points offer sleek looks and the best stopping performance. Finished off with thru axles front and rear to ensure safe and predictable handling, laden or unladen.
