Expirience with the CUBE PHENIX C:68X SLX

Ludwig Döhl When using the bike for on long tours, the CUBE Hardtail with its 100 mm on the fork is totally spot on. With lean 8,9 kg, the CUBE is among the lightest bikes in this category. Thanks to a moderate 68,6 degree head tube angle, the handling is pleasantly balanced. Due to the interplay of a relatively long top tube and a low stack, the riding position is sporty. The easy rolling tires, the 520 wide range of gears and the lock-out capacity of the suspension underline the sporty ambitions in the uphill.
