When designing the CUBE 240 Street, safety was our foremost concern. We wanted a youth MTB suitable for everyday use as well as being fun to ride trails on. The comprehensive safety package (including the lighting system with SafeStop function) gives a very high level of road safety, while the 3x7 shifting and the suspension fork (boy's model only) guarantee optimum function and comfort even for longer rides.
With the heat treated 6061 aluminium frame and the choice of a boy's or girl's frame design, we set the groundwork for a great ride experience. The frames geometry is tailored specifically for youth anatomy helping the little ones to focus completely on their surroundings and not on mastering their bikes.
When it comes to road safety, the lighting system plays a vital role. This is why we've equipped the 240 Street with a quality hub generator and permanent lights. To ensure that your child is seen even when waiting at traffic lights, there's a Safestop function and preinstalled spoke reflectors. The carrier, bell, adjustable kickstand and snap-on fenders complete the extras on the CUBE 240 Street. Other components like the Suntour suspension fork (male youth model only), easy to use V-brakes with power modulator and the 3x7 Shimano drive train with Revotwist shifters are carried over from the standard CUBE 240.
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.
