Expirience with the CUBE ELITE C:68X SLT

CUBE ELITE C:68X SLT Review A race hardtail as it´s supposed to be: The ELITE C:68X SLT is one of the best-selling carbon hardtails in all of Europe. With the weight indication of 8,5 kg, CUBE lets the competitors look outdated. Because under the Racebike you will hardly find a lighter model. Riding pleasure guaranteed. The handling of this bike is balanced. So its pretty intuitive to control on singletrails. When sitting in the saddle, the posture is neither overly sporty, nor uber-comfortable. This should make the CUBE suite the taste of most bikers. Despite this criticism, the coherent overall concept makes the CUBE to on sporty excursions a buying recommendation in the price range 5999 Euro range.
