Expirience with the CUBE ELITE C:68X RACE

Ludwig Döhl A race hardtail as it´s supposed to be: The ELITE C:68X RACE is one of the best-selling carbon hardtails in all of Europe. With lean 9 kg, the Racebike von CUBE is among the lightest bikes in this category. You have no idea if you prefer high speed stability or playful handling? Then you can´t go wrong with the CUBE Hardtail. It´s handling is pleasantly balanced. Anyone who has no special preferences for the seating position can´t go wrong with the CUBE ELITE C:68X RACE. Because the saddle takes the balanced approach. Finally, here is another killer argument: in price range in light terrain, the CUBE Hardtail is one of the best models in the in light terrain category.
