At Cube we think kids deserve bikes that are just as good as the grown-ups'. That's why the Cubie 180 SLX features proper V-brakes with child-friendly levers, and a frame that owes its inspiration to the full-sized mountain bikes we build for our race teams.
Taking our inspiration from our range of adult mountain bikes, we created a proper off-roader in miniature. Its front and rear V-brakes - operated by levers designed specifically to suit small hands - show that the Cubie 180 SLX is every inch a real, junior mountain bike. The chain guard keeps the transmission safely hidden, and the Schwalbe tyres are just like the ones fitted to mum or dad's mountain bike. The handling is designed to be both fun and safe, and you can rest assured that, like all our bikes, this one has passed our in-house safety tests with flying colours.
Youngsters may be small, but we know they're capable of giving their bikes a really hard time. That's why we've given the Cubie 180's frame and fork as much attention as we do our adult frames. The light, strong 6061 aluminium that we use is built into a structure that's easy to ride, but tough enough to withstand plenty of young enthusiasm and energy - and the odd mishap, too. It's every inch a real mountain bike, just stripped down to the bare essentials.
Features
Cube's Aluminium Superlite starts with heat-treated 6061 aluminium, which has the qualities - high fatigue resistance, good stiffness, low weight and excellent strength - that are important for a bicycle frame. Then we make it into double butted tubes, to reduce weight without sacrificing any of its strength. The result? Exceptionally light, strong and tough frames.
