Cube (Germany) – "It's all about the details. Light, lighter, lightest. When saving every gramme is the goal, every single detail matters. We knew that choosing our premium C:62 carbon was a good start, but the Cross Race C:62 needed something special to set it apart. The answer came from an unusual direction: our engineering team decided to route cables internally via the head tube, rather than the usual down tube routing. This approach fulfilled two goals. First, it created an incredibly clean look and eliminated any cable rub. And second, it meant we didn't need to reinforce the down tube to the same extent, saving even more weight. For the Di2 cabling we use custom inserts, but they can be swapped if you decide in future to run a mechanical system. Combined with the full carbon fork and race-bred geometry designed for quick, nimble handling, the Cross Race C:62 is proof that the devil really is in the detail", explained Cube.

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.

Cross Race C:62 SLT:

"You'll know when 'cross has taken hold of you, because you won't be able to wait for the weekend to come around again. The brand new Cross Race C:62 SLT was developed for cyclocross purists like you. Ultralight, perfectly formed and equipped with one goal in mind: to win. Our new C:62 carbon frameset and carbon fork is paired with the best of everything, to give you that winning edge. From the Newmen carbon cockpit and carbon wheelset to Shimano's all new Ultegra Di2 transmission and hydraulic disc brakes, we gave our designers free rein to indulge their perfectionist streak... so that you can indulge your winning streak", shared the company about the new Cross Race C:62 SLT.
