The pace of a bike that comes from a long lineage of road race machines, with the comfort of a long-distance tourer: who said you can't have it all? The Axial WS Pro's full carbon fork isn't just light, it's also effective at reducing tiring road vibration. And that means you can pedal for longer, and go further...
We built the Axial WS Pro to bridge the gap between performance racer and long-distance tourer. With a frame designed to meet the demands of powerful, all-weather disc brakes, you'll be in full control at all times. Shimano's Sora 2 x 9 gears put a wide range of ratios at your fingertips, and comfortable finishing components with grippy, lightweight Continental Ultra Sport folding tyres complete the package. The only remaining question is, where will you ride next?
We built the Axial WS Pro's frame for efficiency and comfort. With its tapered head tube, cross-ovalised down tube and thru axles front and rear, it delivers uncompromising speed and steering accuracy. Disc brake mounts ensure even the longest descent is no problem. And a carbon fork and slender seatstays help keep you comfortable, however long you're in the saddle.
Features
There's aluminium, and then there's Cube Aluminium Lite. This heat-treated 6061 aluminium is stiff, fatigue-resistant and, because of its natural corrosion resistance, a great material from which to make lightweight tube sets - and bicycle frames. And it does all this without adding unnecessary weight, so you can get the best enjoyment out of your Cube.
Smooth Welding isn't easy, but worthwhile things usually aren't. It has two advantages. First, and most obviously, it looks great: one tube seems to almost flow into the other. Second, and at least as importantly, it helps to minimise load peaks on welded areas for better frame strength and durability.
Women tend to have slightly different body proportions compared to men, and that can affect bike fit and function. That's why Cube's Women's Series pays particular attention to frame sizing and to details like the saddle, stem and handlebars. Contact points selected specifically to suit a woman's anatomy help add comfort and build confidence, so you can enjoy every ride more.
For those times when you just have to go out and ride in less than ideal weather, fenders can be a huge help. The Attain and Axial series are both designed with frame and fork clearances that are generous enough to fit full length mudguards, so you can stay a little dryer even when the heavens are opening.
A comfortable bike is a fast bike. It's also one that you'll want to keep riding. Road Comfort Geometry prioritises optimal load distribution and a comfortable riding position, so that you'll look forward to being in it for the long haul. With a low bottom bracket for extra stability and room to run 28mm tyres, we like to think we've thought of everything.
