Cube Bikes will enter the burgeoning 29er market for the first time in 2012 with 10 new bikes.
Cube say they've used their Agile Ride Geometry (ARG) to combine all the advantages of 29? wheels with those of the smaller 26?. They say they?ve achieved this by having a bottom bracket height identical to that of the smaller frames, a specially mounted front derailleur to give adequate tyre clearance, which means shorter seatstays for quicker handling.
The Elite Super HPC 29 and Reaction GTC 29 are Cube?s high-end hardtails. Again featuring ARG for sporty handling, they are both bonded carbon frames with tapered steerer tubes, press-fit BBs, simplified internal cable routing and post mount brakes.
The AMS 120 29 is Cube's full suspension all-mountain bike. It aims to be a bike that won't hold you back on climbs but will give you plenty of confidence on descents. The frame features short chainstays and headtube and keeps the bottom bracket height low to try and mimic the feel of Cube's 26in AMS (All Mountain System) bikes.
The LTD and Competition series 29ers comprise full suspension models based on aluminium frames. The Attention and Acid (Competition series) are at the heavier end of the spectrum while the LTD PRO and SL feature lighter tubing.
The Two15
We've already had a sneak peek at Cube's new downhill 29er, the Two15, which has been designed around the Fox DHX-RC4 shock and offers more travel and lower weight than Cube's previous downhill model, the Hanzz. Cube say that the Two15's Triple Linkage Kinematics "guarantee that compression and rebound (both high and low speed) work in a linear way over the complete travel."
Finally, Cube has announced they will be doing a 29in electric bike, the EPO29. More information on this will follow, say Cube.
