Expirience with the CUBE AMS ZERO99 C:68X SL 29

Ludwig Döhl The AMS ZERO99 C:68X SL was redesigned in 2021 to take current market trends into account. The result: a race fully that is up to snuff, which offers plenty of space for two drinking bottles. With lean 9,7 kg, the CUBE AMS ZERO99 C:68X SL is among the lightest bikes in this category. We have checked all geometry measures and come to the following conclusion: the CUBE AMS ZERO99 C:68X SL is a very balanced customer. The sporty riding position allows for very effective pedaling. Finally, here is another killer argument: in price range on sporty excursions, the Racebike von CUBE is one of the best models in the on sporty excursions category.
