For high end, we use High Performance 7005 aluminium alloy which has a very low density combined with high strength due to the special alloy and the hardening heat treatment. By triple butting or even quadruple butted tubing, aluminium tubes are reinforced where required and reduced where possible. In addition we use Special tube shapes, manufactured with Hydroform technology to better cope with the directional forces. The low density and high strength as well as the butting and the Hydroform technology enable us to make high performance frames with an ultimate level of stiffness.

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.

On the high performance frames, graphics and texts are laser-cut into the material which makes them indestructible for a lifetime.

The colour of our aluminium frames with Eloxal finish is reached by anodising (a chemical process). After this treatment, the aluminium is 1000 times more scratch-resistant than before.
