Description
CUBE AXIAL WS GTC SLX SWITCHORCH/CARBON 47 cm
If pro racers had to buy their own bikes, the Axial WS GTC SLX would probably be near the top of the list. Combining the comfort and performance of our carbon frame and fork technology with the precise shifting of Shimano's new Di2 105 2x12 components, it's the very definition of bang for your buck. Powerful all-weather hydraulic disc brakes, grippy Continental Grand Sport tyres and Fulcrum Racing 77 wheels are the icing on the cake. Because now you can feel like a pro, and ride like a pro, too.
Frame description
Built with our Twin Mold monocoque technology, the Axial WS GTC's frame is a masterpiece of understated carbon design. Oversized main frame tubes maximise rigidity for steering precision and efficient power transfer, while slim seatstays and the full carbon fork help filter out vibration from the road surface. Road Comfort Geometry does exactly what it says, putting you in the best position for day-long performance. The result is a frame that's light, precise, comfortable... and rapid.
Find your size!
Enter your height and inseam below and click on 'Calculate my frame size' to see which size you need. You measure your inseam as follows:
1. Stand barefoot with your heels against the wall. Place your feet about 6 inches apart.
2. Grab a book and place it between your legs, with the short side of the book against the wall. Press the book up against your crotch, mimicking the idea of a bicycle saddle.
3. Measure the length from the top of the book to the floor, the distance you measure is your inseam.
