No excuses, no compromise. With the Aerium C:62 SLT we're talking hundredths of a second over long distances - the ultimate machine for professional triathletes and time triallists. Cutting edge aerodynamics and well thought out geoetry are blended into a harmonious whole in this super fast carbon racer. The penchant for perefectionsism even extends to the choice of equipment - Dura Ace Di2 and deep section carbon rims are just two of many highlights.
The light and stiff Advanced Twin Mould carbon frame with horizontal dropouts is constructed with two goals in mind: to keep air resistance as low as possible, and to be compatible with electronic transmission components. To keep things elegant, clean and aerodynamic we've hidden the battery and cables inside the frame. The carbon chassis's extreme geometry is forward thrust in its purest form, transforming every watt of energy expended at the pedals into speed. As: n individually tailored riding position means that, even with this emphasis on speed, the Aerium C:62 SLT lends itself to a multitude of different uses.
Perfectly equipped to take on any speed-related challenge, the Aerium C:62 SLT is bursting with technical highlights. From the exquisite 11 speed Shimano Dura Ace Di2 transmission with Rotor Flow crank to the Profile Aeria T5 carbon aerocockpit, it's all the best of the best. The CSL Aero carbon fork with integrated brake and Reynolds Aero 72/90 wheelset continue the perfectionist theme. The design allows you to use a seat post with or without offset and to adjust the carbon stem's angle, meaning that this is a time trial bike that can be fine-tuned to the rider and circumstances - everthing from a short distance time trail up to the Ultra Ironman.
This technique uses a complete core to provide the perfect frame form during the lay-up process. As with the Twin Mould technology, precise inserts are used to ensure extra strength at high-stress frame points. This combination offers maximum control over fibre orientations during the lay-up and production process. The Advanced Twin Mould high-tech carbon manufacturing process translates to outstanding product safety and quality together with optimum weight and stiffness characteristics.
Perfect aerodynamics and geometry adjustment characterize this package to the smallest detail the light and stiff Advanced Twin Mold carbon frame with horizontal dropouts is designed for the use of electronic circuit components to minimize air resistance. Battery and cable are hiding elegantly in the framework and also the brakes fit perfectly together with the Aerium Super HPC carbon fork.
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.
Trough the full Di2 Integration the Dura Ace Di2 battery is completely fitted within the frame. The Shimano junction box is placed aerodynamically in the stem which makes charging and servicing a lot easier as it can be done via the junction in the stem. Another distinct feature is that it can be easily dismounted and mounted for transporting the bike.
Internally routed cables offer many advantages. Cables are protected from dirt for longer life, weight is saved thanks to the absence of external housing and the bike has a clean, sleek appearance.
With Press Fit bearings, the bottom bracket bearings are pressed directly into the frame and not screwed in as usual. This gives a wider bottom bracket shell and allows us to build a wider down tube and more broadly-spaced chainstays. Every millimetre of additional width gives a significant improvement in lateral stiffness.
ZERO frames are our ultimate high end bikes. We eliminated any excessive weight, even going so far as to reducing the paint. The main frame, linkages and chain stays each consist of one single part. Maximum stiffness and the most modern building process deliver the best energy transfer. CUBE SHPC bikes are on top of a long intense evolutionary process.
