Cube Axial WLS C:62 SL Womens 2016 - Road Bike
When you're fighting for your position at the head of the peloton, it's important that your bike is built from the best materials. This is, after all, the ultimate bike for everything from racing to long, fast days out in the saddle. The exclusive combination of unique carbon frame, CUBE carbon fork and full Shimano Ultegra group with disc brakes has resulted in an extremely fast and light race machine that'll give maximum riding pleasure and performance, mile after mile.
Frame
This is pure, high-end carbon frame construction. Our Advanced Twin Mould Monocoque technology gives us full control over fibre lay-up - essential for building such a light yet stiff chassis. The oversized carbon tubes in the main frame and chainstays, tapered head tube, mega stiff bottom bracket and quick release axles front and rear are all instrumental in achieving a stiffness to weight ratio that's the envy of our competition. Controlled flex in the slim seat stays and flattened top tube add comfort to the frame, without compromising efficiency.
Components
High performance with no compromise. The complete Shimano Ultegra group with compact 50x34 chainset reinforces the Axial C:62 SL's serious intentions. It's backed up by the lightweight Racing DT Spline R32 wheelset with Schwalbe Racing One Kevlar tyres and Shimano's BR-RS505 hydraulic disc brakes with heat-resistant Freeza technology. The cockpit features a CUBE Carbon Wing Race handlebar and stem, while the CUBE Carbon Motion Post adds a dose of vibration-damping comfort.
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.
Woman Like Series
Our new WLS models come with different wheel sizes for different frame heights. The 14 and 16" frames have 27.5" wheels, the 17,19 and 21" frames are built as 29ers. Depending on body height, every woman gets the perfect riding character and geometry. The models of our Woman Like Series feature a compact frame geometry with shorter top tubes and longer head tubes, giving a riding position that is more upright than on the men?s models. This riding position relieves the pelvis and offers more comfort. The top tubes of the WLS mountain bikes are lowered, making the bike more comfortable and safe to mount and dismount.
Adaptable X12 Hanger
We optimized our new dropout design based on the Syntace X12 through-axle system, enlarging the area of the frame where the hanger is mounted. We can now fit the longer Direct Mount hangers. Shifting precision and stiffness is therefore improved. With the new design it's also possible to swap the whole contact area of the axle with the hanger should the system be worn out.
X12 Through Axle
In this system, a cone is used to form a play-free connection. It is only necessary to tighten the axle from one side. The position of the wheel is done by an insert in the right-hand dropout which is secured by a bolt. The main advantages of the Syntace system are quick and simple changing of the wheel, reliable position of the brake disc and higher stiffness of the rear of the bike. This allows the assembly to be made lighter than a conventional through-axle.
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 head tube. On all of our 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.
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.
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.
Advanced Twin Mold
The Advanced Twin Mold process eliminates any dangerous folding by continuous control of carbon fibers during the curing process. This is made possible by an internal form which gives the perfect frame form during the layup process. Each individual fibre remains precisely in position as it cures. In this way less material can be used as the individual layers can be more accurately and reliably positioned. This production method also makes it possible to increase the carbon fibre proportion in line with anticipated loadings at specific points on the frame. All SUPER HPC models from 2014 on are manufactured using this high-tech method.
