The Cube Ltd Race is a fast and sporty 29 inch hardtail which is great for ambitious riders. It boasts Agile Ride Geometry which gives it the agility of a 26incher, with all the advantages of the smooth rolling 29 inch wheels. Cube's Agile Ride Geometry for 2013 has been perfected and refined since the 2012 versions. It boasts an increased fork offsets with generous toe clearance to the front wheel, shorted chainstays and a patented construction to mount the front mech for more tyre clearance whilst keeping the conventional seat angle. This gives the perfect riding position for every rider size, with a BB height that's the same as on their 26 inch bikes you get a natural riding position so you'll feel instantly at home!  

The frame of this impressive hardtail mountain bike is made from aluminium which has been heat treated to give impressive strength and stiffness as well as corrosion and fatigue resistance. The cross-ovalized down tube has been manufactures using an Advanced Mechnical forming process to give it exceptional durability. This frame works perfectly with the Magura hydraulic disc brakes with the cold forged brak mount and connection bridgebringing high rigidity and brake heat dissipation. You also get Cube's innovative Frame Save System with replaceable derailleur hanger with thread in the hanger itself. 

With its 29 inch wheels this 29er mountain bike offers smooth rolling and a more efficient ride. Grip and traction increase thanks to the bigger wheels offering an increased surface area for ground contact which means that the Schwalbe Rapid Rob tyres can perform at their best. The high tech Rock Shox Reba RL air fork comes with Motion Control, PushLoc and 100mm of plus travel to smooth out the rough stuff that lies in your way. The Ltd Race Cube hartail also boasts an Easton EA30 stem and seatpost which are sturdy and long-lasting while the RFR Flat Race Bar offers perfect 29in handling. Shimano 3x10 components with Shimano XT rear derailleur are very reliable, while Magura MT2 disc brakes offer confident performance on every terrain.

Features

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 non-shearing. Our superlite tubes are doublebutted, giving very light tube-sets with a high level of stiffness.

Agile Ride Geometry: We ran innumerable tests to develop the Agile Ride Geometry in our 2012 series of big wheel bikes. This year we add the 650B wheelsize to the very well received portfolio. Three important details lead to the very agile character. Increased fork offsets let us achieve the same trail as our 26” bikes without having to steepen the head angle, thus maintaining generous toe clearance to the front wheel. Secondly we shortened the chain stays without compromising the seat angle. We invented a patented construction to mount the front derailleur to give us more tyre clearance while keeping a conventional seat angle, leading to a perfect riding position for every rider size. Last but not least we kept the BB height same as on our 26" bikes. These measures lead to a natural riding position. Every mountain biker will feel immediately at home on a CUBE 29er.

OnePiece Design: Welded joints in our high-quality aluminum frames are specially finished via this method and create the impresssion of seamless tube design. This generates the visual effect of moulding and ensures high load bearing capacity.

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.

Frame Safe System: To protect our high-end aluminium frames from damage, they are built with the CUBE Frame Save System 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.
