These specially designed seat stays fulfil many roles. At the upper end at the connection to the seat or top tube they run laterally oval and thus offer vertical flexing and so ensure comfort. At the lower end they are extremely vertically oval and offer the minimum drag area to the headwind.

To protect our high-end aluminium frames, they are built with the CUBE Frame Save System replaceable derailleur hanger. The thread is in the hanger and not in the frame as usual. In case of a crash, this hanger can be easily and quickly replaced by a new one.

Joints in high-quality aluminum frames are specially finished via this method and so create the impresssion of seamless tube design. This generates the visual effect of molding and ensures high load-bearing capacity.

Internally routed cables offer many advantages: clean appearance, cables are protected from dirt and therefore have a considerably longer life and the not required external housing saves weight.

Our bicycles with RFR-geometry stand out by their sports character. The riding characteristics, rider comfort and rider safety in particular are taken in account for each individual bike category.

On polished and brushed aluminium and all HPC frames the logos and graphics are applied in multi-layer wet paint. We use this surface treatment technology mainly to save weight.
