Description
CUBE ELITE C:68X SLX TEAMLINE L
The Elite C:68X SLX is a bike that shows you mean business. There's no component system that compares with Shimano XTR for function, reliability and durability – so that's what we fitted. From the huge range of the 1x12 gears to the predictable stopping power of the hydraulic disc brakes, it represents the best of the best. We added a light, stiff and strong Newmen Advanced carbon tubeless-ready wheelset, fitted with folding Schwalbe tyres and ultra-light Aerothan tubes. And the supple, accurate Fox 32 Step-Cast Factory fork smooths your way to the podium. It's ready. Are you?
Frame description
Power. Speed. Control. For a high-performance race frame like the Elite C:68X, it's all in the details. Our premium C:68X carbon material and Advanced Twin Mold monocoque manufacturing technique have allowed us to create one of the lightest cross-country hardtails around. Optimised carbon lay-up, a tapered head tube and Boost rear axle translate into rapid acceleration. Slender seatstays help absorb trail vibration, so you can push harder for longer. And Agile Ride Geometry puts you firmly in control, so you can power ahead of the competition.
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.
