When the young ones start getting ambitious, our CUBE 240 SL may just be the winning ticket. We have created this bike as an exceptionally high-quality youth bike. With its new aluminium frame, air suspension fork, hydraulic disc brakes and full 2x10 gears is not only 100% trail worthy, but also unrivalled in weight.
The brand new heat treated 6061 aluminium frame with mechanically formed tubes, a semi-integrated headset and disc brake compatibility is the perfect start for this highly capable bike. With its Kid Geometry we took care of handling and rider position and tailored it specifically to the demands of young CUBE fans. The low top tube gives plenty of freedom to move on the bike and creates a very dynamic look. And because the young and wild don't mind showing what they can do, the CUBE 240 SL comes in the genuine CUBE Action Team paint scheme.
The air sprung Suntour suspension fork features very good small bump compliance and can be set perfectly for any riders weight. The 240 SL has the rare privilege of running a 2x10 Shimano Deore drive train, which with the light double cranks underlines the ambitious character of the bike. Silky smooth and always precise shifting is the result. With the great power and modulation of the hydraulic Tektro HDM 290 disc brakes the 240 SL stops very quickly if necessary - any time and in any weather condition. To get the bike even lighter, we treated it to high-quality Kenda folding bead tires.
6061 aluminium alloy requires a heat treatment for the finished product. It is a stiff, very corrosion resistant, fatigue resistant,high-elongation material suitable for light tubesets with high stiffness.
On polished, 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.
To protect our high-end aluminium frames from damage, they are built with the CUBE Frame Save System replaceable derailleur hanger. The mounting 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.
