The podium awaits. Our approach with the Agree C:62 SLT disc was totally uncompromising. For maintaining speed in any situation, a 52 tooth big chainring. For the lowest possible weight, super light Dura Ace professional components. For enormous braking power, hydraulic disc brakes. Riders who want to beat their own personal bests will smash it with this bike.

The centrepiece of the Agree C:62 SLT disc is one of the most advanced disc-compatible carbon frames. Our engineers pulled out all the stops. Both front and rear wheels feature X12 quick release axles. The seat post clamp is aerodynamic and integrated into the seat tube. The head tube is tapered to improve steering precision. The new CLS Evo carbon fork with Flat Mount is a perfect match for the frame and offers amazing vibration absorption.

Only the best. Shimano Dura Ace components with BR-RS805 hydraulic disc brakes and 140mm rotors enable both explosive acceleration and reliable stopping. The cockpit consists of the CUBE Wing Race carbon handlebar and Syntace F149 stem. We shaved weight from the wheels by slotting Fulcrum carbon rim-equipped, Schwalbe One-shod Racing Quattro Aero Discs in the dropouts. The supremely comfortable CUBE performance motion carbon seatpost completes this extraordinary race bike.

We optimized our new dropout design based on the Syntace X12 through-axle system, enlarging the area of the frame where the hanger is mounted. We can now fit the longer Direct Mount hangers. Shifting precision and stiffness is therefore improved. With the new design it's also possible to swap the whole contact area of the axle with the hanger should the system be worn out

The Advanced Twin Mold process eliminates any dangerous folding by continuous control of carbon fibers during the curing process. This is made possible by an internal form which gives the perfect frame form during the layup process. Each individual fibre remains precisely in position as it cures. In this way less material can be used as the individual layers can be more accurately and reliably positioned. This production method also makes it possible to increase the carbon fibre proportion in line with anticipated loadings at specific points on the frame. All SUPER HPC models from 2014 on are manufactured using this high-tech method.

Internally routed cables offer many advantages. Cables are protected from dirt for longer life, weight is saved thanks to the absence of external housing and the bike has a clean, sleek appearance.

With Press Fit bearings, the bottom bracket bearings are pressed directly into the frame and not screwed in as usual. This gives a wider bottom bracket shell and allows us to build a wider down tube and more broadly-spaced chainstays. Every millimetre of additional width gives a significant improvement in lateral stiffness.

This steerer tube design is stiffer than a conventional straight steerer and yields a more secure ride feel even in difficult terrain. Minimal flex at the front of the frame means the greatest possible steering precision. With the larger steerer, the forks become more rigid. At the same time weight is saved due to the absence of bearing shells as the lower bearing is fully integrated into the head tube. On all of our CUBE carbon models the upper bearing shells are also directly in the frame, so that once more a few grams are saved and the energy transfer is very direct.

On polished, brushed aluminium and all HPC frames, the logos and graphics are applied in multi-layer wet paint. We use this surface treatment technology mainly to save weight.

In this system, a cone is used to form a play-free connection. It is only necessary to tighten the axle from one side. The position of the wheel is done by an insert in the right-hand dropout which is secured by a bolt. The main advantages of the Syntace system are quick and simple changing of the wheel, reliable position of the brake disc and higher stiffness of the rear of the bike. This allows the assembly to be made lighter than a conventional through-axle.
