Expirience with the CUBE AIM SLX

Ludwig Döhl Cube is one of the largest bicycle manufacturers in Europe. Their entry-level AIM SLX bike line is one of the Bavarians' favorites.. The scales remain light for this model, which is, according to CUBE, at 13,8 kg. Thus, the CUBE AIM SLX is one of the lighter Racebike that you get for 799 Euro . With its balanced handling, riding the CUBE feels really intuitive. The combination of high stack and short top tube makes the riding position pleasantly comfortable. All in all, in the on long tours category, you will hardly find a better overall package from parts and geometry.
