AERIUM C:68

SL Hadron

When you haven't compromised on your training, you want a bike that'll match your efforts. The CUBE &ælig;rium C:68 SL Hadron is that bike - uncompromising in both design and execution. We refined the frame's profile in cooperation with Swiss Side aerodynamic experts in the wind tunnel, then used our best quality C:68 carbon layup and finished by selecting only the finest components. The result is a combination of low weight, exceptional stiffness and ultimate &ælig;rodynamic efficiency. The only thing that's missing... is you.

Frame

The light and stiff Advanced Twin Mould C:68 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 &ælig;rodynamic we've hidden the battery and cables inside the frame - and we checked and refined our design in cooperation with Swiss Side aerodynamic experts in the wind tunnel, just to be sure. The carbon chassis's extreme geometry is forward thrust in its purest form, transforming every watt of energy expended at the pedals into speed.

Components

When even a fraction of a second counts, you need a transmission capable of delivering flawless shifts, every single time. That's why we selected Shimano's ultra-reliable electronic Ultegra Di2 components and paired them with a Rotor Flow chainset. We didn't skimp on the wheels, either, opting for a SwissSide Hadron Ultimate 800+ &ælig;rocarbon wheelset for unmatched acceleration and air-slicing capability. A carbon Profile cockpit is supremely light and incredibly versatile, allowing fine-tuning of the ride position to cater for any event or rider preference, while the &ælig;rium &ælig;ro carbon fork is a perfect match for the frame's sleek, &ælig;rodynamic profile.

Highlight features

Rotor Flow Crankset

The crank arm and chainwheels are aerodynamically formed and proven to save 26.4 seconds in a triathlon.

Shimano Ultegra Di2 Drivetrain

Di2 - shifting performance that you just have to experience for yourself. At the touch of a button you can shift swiftly and unbelievably precisely, an indispensable feature when every second counts!

CUBE Aerium C:62 Aero Seatpost

Finding the best riding position for optimal power transfer is a small yet vital detail in being successful. The CUBE Aerium C:62 Aero seatpost not only gives you that, but also saves you a lot of watts with its aerodynamic shape.

- - Advanced Twin Mold
    
    This technique uses a complete core to provide the perfect frame form during the lay-up process. As with the Twin Mold 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 Mold high-tech carbon manufacturing process translates to outstanding product safety and quality together with optimum weight and stiffness characteristics.
- - Aerodynamic System
    
    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.
- - Frame Safe System
    
    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.
- - Integrated Cable Routing
    
    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.
- - Press Fit BB
    
    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.
- - Wet Paint Surface
    
    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.
- - Full DI2 Integration
    
    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.

4 arm aerodynamic development process

Redefining aerodynamic development in the cycling industry, this unique interconnected development process is designed to perfectly match reality, for delivering 'real world performance’ out on the road where in matters.

CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics)

More advanced than any other in the cycling industry. Using the latest CFD technologies from Formula 1, including real time ‘transient’ flow models of the complete bike and rider. Backed up with extensive wind tunnel correlation, Swiss Side’s CFD methods are second to none in terms of closeness to reality.

WIND TUNNEL

Swiss Side’s wind tunnel testing methods are the most advanced in the cycling industry. Using unique systems such as steering torque measurement and rider laser positioning systems, the result is an unparalleled wind tunnel development capability.

INSTRUMENTED BIKE

The most advanced on-bike aerodynamic measurement system ever seen. Using an array of sensors to measure aerodynamics out on the road and importantly, how the rider reacts, this unique system delivers 'real world data' about aerodynamic performance for BETTER UNDERSTANDING = BETTER PERFORMANCE.

PERFORMANCE SIMULATION

Quantifying ‘real world performance’ to direct development where it matters. Swiss Side’s simulation tools allow the time won or lost to be calculated for any design or setup, over any course for any rider, in any conditions. Like this, performance can be quantified at any point during the development phase to make the best design decisions.
