Cube AMS ZERO99 C:68X Race, rosso

Fast is light, fast is comfortable, and fast is efficient. The brand-new AMS ZERO99 C:68X Race 29's frame is crafted from the premium carbon and weighs in at a stunning 1600g, approximately. But it's not just about low weight. Short chainstays with plenty of clearance for 2.25in tyres tuck the rear wheel in under the rider for efficient power transfer. Slender tubes help keep the ride comfortable, rather than harsh. There's an AngleSet to allow fine-tuning of the head angle. And with 100mm of travel front and rear and a geometry that's tuned for agility and pace, you've got everything you need to get to the head of the pack.

That podium result just moved a little closer. With its completely revised C:68X carbon frame and carefully curated components, the brand-new AMS ZERO99 C:68X Race 29 sets a new standard for cross-country speed. There's a Fox 32 Float fork and Fox DPS Performance Elite shock, both with remote lockout. Cube selected Shimano's ultra-reliable XT 1x12 gears because, well, they're ultra-reliable. And added matching Shimano XT hydraulic disc brakes for good measure. Topped off with a Newmen carbon cockpit and Natural Fit carbon saddle, it's all you need to find that winning streak.
