Expirience with the CUBE ELITE C:68X SLT

CUBE ELITE C:68X SLT Review
Ludwig Döhl
A race hardtail as it´s supposed to be: The ELITE C:68X SLT is one of the best-selling carbon hardtails in all of Europe. With lean 8,5 kg, the CUBE ELITE C:68X SLT is among the lightest bikes in this category. The trend towards more high speed stability geometries stops with CUBE. Good! Because with this balanced handling model, you are equipped for all situations on the trail. The balanced seating position is likely to suite the taste of the majority of bikers. With the shifting components, CUBE fulfills not only the current standard, but even puts the icing on the cake with its extremely high-quality components.
