Cube Cross Trapeze City Bike 2017 Review

• Cube Cross Trapeze City BikeCube’s Cross Trapeze City Bike is the right bike for escaping the daily routine, out into the open air – whether it’s for the entire evening after work, or a whole weekend. It’s also well suited to everyday urban use, while retaining its sporty feel. As you’d expect from Cube, they’ve included technology that inspires: 30 gears, hydraulic disc brakes, basically anything and everything that provides functionality and reliability. Whether it’sthe open road, a forest trail, up in the hills or on the flat, the Cross Trapeze City Bike is ready to go Lightweight Aluminium City BikeFunctional can still be beautiful. The dynamic design of the aluminium frame combined with tapered headtube, 3D forged dropouts and double butted tubeset adds an elegant touch while also providing a high level of stiffness without adding weight. Internal cable routing, a replaceable derailleur hanger and multi-functional dropouts – ready to attach mudguards, luggage rack and the Easy Mount Kickstand – are all features that you won’t often find in this price bracket Reliable ComponentsThe Cross Trapeze City Bike’s sporty nature is complemented by a high-quality, Shimano drivetrain made up of SLX, LX and XT components – including Rapidfire Plus gear shifters and FC-T551 Hollowtech II chainset, where the 48x36x26T chainrings tame any terrain. Suntour’s NCX D RL suspension fork features a handlebar-operated lockout lever and tapered aluminium steerer for extra steering precision. It’s also pretty handy at smoothing out the bumpiest of surfaces. Seating is provided by Selle Royal’s Viper saddle and Schwalbe Smart Sam tyres roll fast and grip tight wherever you ride Features:Frame:åÊAluminium Superlite Trekking Cross Taper Double ButtedFork:åÊSR Suntour NCX D-RL Coil Tapered, 63mm Headset:åÊFSA Orbit Z-t ECO, Top Zero-Stack 1-1/8″ (OD 44mm), Bottom Integrated 1-1/2″Stem:åÊCube Performance Pro, 31 8mm Handlebar:åÊCube Rise Trail Bar, 680mm Grips:åÊCube Natural Fit Tour Front Derailleur:åÊShimano LX FD-T670, Top Swing, 31 8mm Rear Derailleur:åÊShimano XT RD-T8000, 10-Speed Shifters:åÊShimano SLX SL-M670, Rapidfire-Plus Brake System:åÊShimano BR-M315, Hydr.

Along the obtained organic look, the production method is primarily motivated by functional reasons. Multiple converted tubes enable us to manufacture lighter and also stiffer aluminium frames. Aluminium Superlite: Extremely high-tensile strength heat-treated 7005 aluminium alloy is developed for the highest requirements. It is very stiff, fatigue resistant, corrosion resistant and has high elongation. Cube’s Superlite tubes are double butted, giving very light tubesets with a high level of stiffness Easy Mount Kickstand: The Easy Mount Kick Stand is a new system developed and designed by Cube. The base of the stand is mounted from below to a fitting plate integrated to the frame and fixed with a through bolt. This Kickstand is extremely stiff and solid through the enlarged contact areas between base and frame which gives a stable stand even with loaded panniers Frame Safe System: To protect their high-end aluminium frames from damage, Cube built the Frame Safe System’s 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. 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 Smooth Welded: This elaborate procedure with doubled weld seams has two advantages: On the one hand, it improves the firmness of the weld seams and minimises the load peaks on the tube welds through energy flow. On the other hand, it helps the frame to a better and more organic look due to the smooth and hardly noticeable welds. Tapered Steerer: This steerer tube design is stiffer than a conventional straight steerer and yields a more secure ride feel even in difficult terrain. Minimal flex at the front of the frame means the greatest possible steering precision. With the larger steerer, the forks become more rigid. At the same time weight is saved due to the absence of bearing shells as the lower bearing is fully integrated into the headtube. On all of the Cube carbon models the upper bearing shells are also directly in the frame, so that once more a few grams are saved and the energy transfer is very direct Easy AssemblyWhen you order a bike, one of our trained mechanics will carefully prepare and pack your bike for shipping.
