Expirience with the CUBE AIM EX

Ludwig Döhl Cube is one of the largest bicycle manufacturers in Europe. Their entry-level AIM EX bike line is one of the Bavarians' favorites.. With 14,3 kg, the AIM EX counts towards the lighter bikes in this price range. The competitors are sometimes heavier. Anyone who has no concrete preferences when it comes to handling, can´t go wrong with the Racebike von CUBE. Because his handling is pleasantly balanced. The combination of high stack and short top tube makes the riding position pleasantly comfortable. Finally, here is another killer argument: in price range on long tours, the CUBE Hardtail is one of the best models in the on long tours category.
