THE WORLD

If ever there was a bike frame to prove that form and function can co-exist, the Kathmandu is it. Extra-smooth welding creates joints between the High Performance Aluminium tubes that are so flawless, one tube flows almost organically into the next – and Internal Cable Routing complements the clean aesthetic. But it's not just about looks. Our sturdy Integrated Carrier 3.0 works seamlessly with the ACID mudguard, which also incorporates a rear light to accompany the included front light and mudguard. The UDH gear hanger is strong and future-proof, whilst the flat mount kickstand means you'll never struggle to find somewhere to park. And we even fitted extra mounting points on the frame, to make it easier to add extra bags, accessories and water bottles. Because you never know what you might need...

KATHMANDU

A bicycle is the most efficient means of getting from A to B on the planet and, in its own way, the Kathmandu SLX is a celebration of that fact. Schwalbe's fast-rolling Marathon Mondial tyres and Shimano's legendary XT 1x12 gears help speed you towards your destination, and there's a set of powerful Shimano Cues hydraulic disc brakes to ensure you can always slow and stop safely. The comfortable, easy-to-adjust RockShox Paragon Gold air suspension fork makes long days in the saddle a pleasure. And, with the Integrated Carrier 3.0, mudguards, lighting set and kickstand, you've everything you need for low-impact, low-carbon travel.

Aluminium Superlite, Trekking Comfort, Integrated Carrier 3.0, Double Butted

When you want to bring your little one along for the ride, it's good to know that there's a compatible CUBE child seat that's simple to fit and has all the safety features you'd expect.

Gear and brake cables need a way to get from handlebar controls to frame – but what if there was no need for holes near the head tube? We came up with a design that takes cables into the frame via the headset, maintaining full internal cable routing but making it even neater and less obtrusive.

The Integrated Carrier 3.0 is the next level in system integration: from the side, it's hard to tell where the luggage carrier ends and the mudguard begins. But it doesn't just look good, it's also incredibly strong and rigid. With an integrated spring clamp and CUBE Rilink ready adaptor for mounting bags and baskets, it transforms your CUBE into an adaptable and versatile load carrier.

A bicycle is such a versatile tool. That's why many riders add accessories like a luggage carrier, mudguards, kickstand and lights. But with our Fully Equipped range you don't have to, because we've already taken care of all of that. With carefully selected accessories that match and integrate with each bike, you're all set for any journey from the weekday commute to a longer tour.

Our trekking series is designed to take you wherever your curiosity leads you. So, of course, you'll want a comfortable ride. With a natural feeling seated position and handling that's stable and reassuring with or without a load, Trekking Comfort Geometry does exactly what it says no matter how much experience you have of cycling.

Smooth Welding isn't easy, but worthwhile things usually aren't. It has two advantages. First, and most obviously, it looks great: one tube seems to almost flow into the other. Second, and at least as importantly, it helps to minimise load peaks on welded areas for better frame strength and durability.

CUBE's Aluminium Superlite starts with heat-treated 6061 aluminium, which has the qualities – high fatigue resistance, good stiffness, low weight and excellent strength – that are important for a bicycle frame. Then we make it into double butted tubes, to reduce weight without sacrificing any of its strength. The result? Exceptionally light, strong and tough frames.
